If you're talking about making an enemy so that you can stand on top of them, that already exists in playerblocktop.

Just create a .txt file with the npc number of the mook you want to have a standable head. (Ex. If you want to have the Goomba have a standable skull area, name the .txt file "npc-1") Then put down playerblocktop=1. Save the file, and you're done. Now all Goombas in your level are unable to be stomped, just like SMB2 enemies.

Replace the 1 with a 0 if you want to have an enemy be stompable.

No, I mean an NPC that triggers a certain event after you step on it. But I'm not talking about something like the SMW Detonator, and NPC that acts like a button that will trigger something while you stand on it, and will trigger something else while you're not standing on it.

Added to my suggestions list.

I suggest a timer option that would function much like the original NES games' timer, except that when turned on it could either make the player die or trigger an event.

(This was probably suggested before, but I'm not going to read 48 pages again.)

How about the option to change the hitpoints of boss npcs? Because the likes of Larry, Ludwing, Birdo, and Boom Boom go down too quickly sometimes.

Agreed. On the flipside, Mother Brain reskins sometimes take too long to beat.

What about an option that allows you to make an NPC appear in the same X and/or Y coordinates and follow his X and/or Y coordinates constantly?

I have a suggestion,how about the option to choose whether you want enemies to walk off cliffs or not?

Also how about having the option for Larry and Ludwig to change the way they act when inside there shells?So you can have Larry jump around in his shell,like in SMB3,or also have it more like NSMBWII/NSMB2/NSMBU,were he simply slides across the room.

You can do that already on SMBX with NPC codes.

What do you mean by this, I'm not getting what exactly you're trying to say.

It will be uploaded here, and on the VSMBX in the "Updates and Info" subforum under "General". Running the game should make all the directories for you if they don't exist on your computer yet. I haven't made an installer yet for the content so you'll either need to copy and paste SMBX's content into the right VSMBX directories, but I made it a bit easier by including the content directories in the install zip which can be directly copied and pasted without the need to put the content in the right directories manually.

Began work on debugger.

Added icons for the project.

Began work on Test Settings window.

Fixed a few animation problems.

Spoiler: show

Let's say the player is in Y -192 and is currently moving to the left at -2 per second. Then a NPC catches at the same Y coordinates as the player is and moves at the same speed as the player, which is -2 per second. If you want a better explanation of what I mean is another way to track the player's movement, but also include his coordinates.

Yeah but wouldn't it be easier to just click on a button,instead of having to drag a text file into a folder with the cliff turn stuff on it?

But anyways....nice to know that this is still coming along well Ghosthawk!So great job on that mate!

Everything from npc codes should be part of the editor imo.

Update:

Finished, and re-styled Test Settings window. An improvement to Redigit's design imo.

They will.

Looks great, GhostHawk! Those menus probably will work better than the checkboxes in SMBX, yeah. I like.

On that note, could you allow both player 1 and player 2 to use the same character in multiple character episodes? That's kind of an annoying limitation in SMBX.

Just to corroborate you actually either considered this idea or not.
