No. You can try playing one of the tracks through a sound channel, but sound tends to cut off and loading such a big sound effect can cause the game to hiccup for a second.

I downloaded LunaLua, full installation, vanilla+launcher but when I try to run the smbx application I get an application error.
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."

The error appears if you haven't got C++ configuration package. There should be file named something like vcredist.exe or something like that. Run it.

Oh, that simple.
Thanks!

Is there a code you can use to trigger a cheat when you collect [npc]?
As in, can you make an item that, after you collect it, triggers supermario4 and then immediately redigitiscool?

I'm also working on an API for cheats that in the future will make this even simpler

Sorry, but that didn't really work for me. I entered this as a test:
Code: Select all
function onStart()
Defines.cheat_supermario4 = TRUE
Defines.player_hasCheated = FALSE
end
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that this would, when I started the level, activate the supermario4 cheat.
But nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong? The code Defines.cheat_supermario4 wasn't one of the Defines listed in the website your link went to.

If it's not on the list you can't activate it. The hook just doesn't exist yet.

Not just that, but "TRUE" is not the same thing as "true". When programming, case matters.

Okay, that was absolutely my fault. I changed it.

You can use
Code: Select all
Misc.cheatBuffer("moneytree"); -- example cheat
to activate cheats.
But be careful.
Setting the cheatBuffer makes the game think you were typing for example "moneytre" and exactly this frame, you type the last "e".
So you can not just type:
Code: Select all
Misc.cheatBuffer("myCheat1");
Misc.cheatBuffer("myCheat2");
If you do that, you overwrite the cheatBuffer before the game has a chance to execute your first cheat, so only the second cheat will be activated. You can only execute one cheat per frame this way.
You could use eventu to schedule another cheat exactly 1 frame later if you want.

How do I get the event I want to use in Event.cancelled?

It should be in the function's arguments.

Wait. Is event referring to, like, function onTick(), function onLoop(), etc.?! If so nm my question

Well, now that my first question is answered (thank you S1eth, Enjl, Hoeloe, and Pixelpest), I have a second, follow-up question.
Is it possible to make it so that consuming a power-up that came from a ?-Block triggers Lua code?

the event refers to the thing that's happening in SMBX, i.e. an enemy being killed. But you can only get them in a few LunaLua events, like onNPCKill and onEventDirect. (At least, I'm pretty sure that's how it works)

eventObj in the arguments for onNPCKill and onEventDirect refers to the killing of the NPC and execution of the event respectively. They're cancellable through lua with eventObj.cancelled = true

Is there a method to activate the yellow yoshi stomp when the player isn't on the mount?
So for example when the player lands the thwomp sound is played and nearby enemies are killed.
