Great! I was really darn missing those flagpoles.
EDIT: Also, how do I get the coordinates of a block?

Right click and go into "Properties"

btw the flagpoles in 38a only activate if you touch the flag at the top. In 2.0 will they activate no matter where you touch them?

Could we maybe also get flagpoles that don't end the level when you touch them, like the ones from SMA4

What would we need these for?

Fake flag poles?

Friendly flag = fake anything.

I looked up a video of the SMA4 ones and the person playing stood in place after grabbing it because they didn't realise it didnt end the level. I checked out another video and the same thing happened. Sounds like a bad idea to include.

Seems like everyone else besides Rednexala and you are distracted with other stuff so how is progress going on SMBX2? What are the things being worked on the most right now? It's obviously not NPC's as the resource page has had little change for several weeks so that is why I am asking. I know PixelPest and others are busy with a contest but that should be over soon so maybe progress will start to pick up again?

Great, now I know!
EDIT: I know the PGE Engine is in alpha, but why can you move off the map's pathways? Is this a testing feature?

I'll fix you: PGE Editor (current version 0.3.1.14 on moment when I wrote this post) is long time a RELEASE and it is widely used for level and episode creation for Vanilla SMBX, LunaLua-SMBX and partial support for SMBX-38A. PGE Engine is alpha, it's WIP drop-in replacement of clunky SMBX Engine which is still in works.

Thanks, I fixed my post.

It's impossible to create AI from scratch without telling the AI what it should be doing (that's kind of the entire creation process).

A "simplified NPC maker" would STILL be scripting. If you can wrap your mind around if-then processes with a drag and drop interface you can do the same with a text interface.

I'm really happy I'm a computer & programming geek.

Great feel free to check out the resource claims sheet and start adding some new NPC's to the game if your interested if your not already doing so.

Anyway, I wasn't understood your ```but why can you move off the map's pathways?``` question, can you explain it more detailed?

You can't just join the SMBX2 Dev team like that.

Only devs have access to the repo and editing permissions for the claims sheet. People who are interested though and can show some programming proficiency in LunaLua should join the codehaus Discord server though

There might be a big blog post coming this weekend... stay tuned!

Technically everyone should be able to access the claims sheet, it's just that only the devs can edit it.
