Need help with lua? - LunaLua General Help

[Lusho]

I noticed you have that "other not it the tab" custom tileset, turns out those are not in the tab because they are just hidden, those dudes are unfinished, thats why you aren't supposed to use them, and so, thats why the devs hid them

If I had to say something, its probably due to those other NPCs, might be wrong and this could be just because of another thing, but you shouldnt use those unfinished things

I believe that error can occur if you're using an old version of Beta 4. Make sure you have the most recent version downloaded!

[Goldenemerl64]

Is This The Correct Version? or no?

[Hoeloe]

Checking PGE for updates isn't going to update your engine. SMBX2 Beta 4 patch 2.1 is the latest version, which you can download from http://codehaus.moe.

[Goldenemerl64]

ok

It's Still Not Working!

Did you try CJ's advice of not using unfinished content? Check first post on this page.

The Wiki seems to be down for some reason. Although it looks like it's a file problem.

I'm having problems with the Auto scroll. Here is The Code

Code: Select all

local autoscroll = require("autoscroll")

function onStart()
    autoscroll.scrollRight(1)
end

function onTick()
    if player.deathTimer > 0 then return end
    if player;mem(0x148, FIELD_WORD) > 0
    and player;mem(0x14C, FIELD_WORD) > 0 then
        player;kill()

    end
end

When I didn't have the autoscroll on "level On Start", It did nothing.

But when i have the autoscroll on "Level on Start", It Moves To the End Of Section Immediately.

I need some help Please

I'm not sure why your Code is so long, so here's what I use:

Code: Select all

local autoscroll = require("autoscroll") 
function onLoadSection0() 
    autoscroll.scrollRight(.9) 
end

Feel free to just copy and paste it and change the Speed (.9) and Section to your needs.

player;kill()

If your code isn't erroring, it's not running.

This should be player:kill(). A semicolon (;) is used as a marker for the end of a line, not as a member function. For that, you'd use a full colon (:), which is used similarly to a period (.) in Lua.

[Goldenemerl64]

Oh ok, I'll see if it works.

Was it producing an error message before? If it wasn't, then your Lua code wasn't even running. You likely didn't save the file correctly.

It wasn't producing an error message. How do i save the file Correctly?

[Hoeloe]

It wasn't producing an error message. How do i save the file Correctly?

How did you create it? There should be a button in the editor under Scripts that allows you to open the local level script. That should create the correct file.

I copied the autoscroll file and put in the code. When I open the Local Level Script and put the code in, It Worked, Thanks for the Help.

[Hoeloe]

You... don't need to copy the lua files, just load them using "require".

[Goldenemerl64]

Oh, ok.

i Don't know what it means by "luna.lua:8: 'then' expected near ';' "

Like I said before, ; is NOT used to access functions. You should NOT be writing player;mem, but player:mem. You've used semicolons where they don't make sense.
