Yes but when throwing them, they pass right through blocks.

This looks like excessive use of generators compared to spawning using NPC.spawn()

local playerDirection = 0

function onLoop()
    playerDirection = player:mem(0x106,FIELD_WORD)

function onTick()
	if player.powerup == PLAYER_FIRE then
		if player.character == CHARACTER_MARIO then
			 if(player.runKeyPressing) then
				a = NPC.spawn(108,player.x,player.y - 48,player.section)
				a.speedX = 6 * playerDirection
				end
			end
		end
	end

end

Also don't use onLoop at all. onLoop is an old function that was replaced by onTick, so you should only use onTick.

Would it be possible to make an npc deadly? Like instead of just hurting you, you get instant death.
And, how do I make particles / or set up particles? Like this kind of particle.

Well I hope you guys get an answer for these.. Thank you.

I realize that this answer is about 2 years too late, but I only recently found out about SMBX and joined your forum. I am working on my own project using SMBX version 1.4.4, and I often find things out through trial and error, and so I wanted to provide what is possibly an easier (albeit less powerful) solution to your question than the one that was provided to you. In the Level Editor, right-click the NPC that you want to modify, to bring up the Custom NPC Code Editor. On the "Graphics" tab, select either "Level Graphics" if you want this rule to apply to just the one level, or "World Graphics" if you want the rule to be universal to your game. Click the tab at the top to get to "Physics/Property". Scroll down to "InstantKill" and put a check mark by it. Nothing changes in the True or False column, it should still read False. Click "Save" at the bottom to save your apparent failed attempt to change the NPC. Save any changes to your level if needed, then close the level (not the Editor), by selecting "New" from the drop-down list under "File". There will now be a TXT file named after the PNG graphic file for the NPC that you modified. If you picked Level Graphics, it will be in the folder associated with the level that you saved. If you picked World Graphics, it will be in the world folder where your WLD file is. Open that TXT file. Look for a line that should read "instantkill=0". 0 means it is False, so change the 0 to a 1 (to make it True), then save the TXT File. Go back to the Level Editor, and re-open your level. Press F5 to test your level, and touch the NPC to find that it will now be Instant Death for your character. I suppose that you could use this method to change the other settings under the "Physics/Property" tab. I hope that this helps someone.

And yes, I tried to replace the Podoboo. It doesn't work.

You could always just replace the trail graphic with a blank image.

This'll be even easier to do in Beta 4, when the trail isn't in its own file.

I mean to disable the hitboxes of the trail. They're still there even if the image is invisible.

What's the problem with replacing the podoboo's sprite? IIRC you have to replace some file in a copy of the new_npcs folder, but then it should work?

I want to make the money vault pool from DuckTales. It will be a pile of coins and the texture and water level changes depending on how many coins a player has.

Can the player interact with the pool? Like is it a liquid or is it a solid the cab stand on top of or is it just a decoration?
