Yeah, but I mean NO world names are showing up. Even the Invasion 2!

Oh. You mean on the main screen. I don't think you could really fix that easily. Have you actually checked to see if the .wld files have names inside the file?

It's the folder the level is in. I've been grouping levels by world.

Then your lunalua file won't work. It has to be inside the level folder, with the level itself outside that folder.

Code: Select all

local raocoin = loadAPI("raocoin");

...the thing crashes. I read the error and it's something about it using registerEvent with strings. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You're using the wrong library. "raocoin" is an old outdated library, while "raocoin2" is a modern one.

Block.get()

returns a table with references to all the blocks. To do something with them you can use the "pairs" keyword which cycles through all entries in the table using the variables provided:

for k,v in pairs(Block.get()) do ...... end

In this case, v represents the value at index k in the table. The value v is a reference to the block, and you can modify its "slippery" flag with v.slippery = true.

Code: Select all

for k,v in pairs(Block.get()) do 
	v.slippery = true
end

Don't forget the "end" or you'll get a "function failed to close" error.

You need to put this in an onStart() function or something, just putting it outside functions will try to run it before the blocks are even loaded.

Anyways, the wiki has a lot of information on this stuff. This page is a good place to start on the basics.

onStart() function

for k,v in pairs(Block.get()) do 
   v.slippery = true
end

This is what the code looks like when I made it, it crashed.

Code: Select all

onStart() function

for k,v in pairs(Block.get()) do 
   v.slippery = true
end

I don't know what I did wrong.

Then use function onTick(). That should work
