Do those codes do this?

Nightmare7 wrote:I saw this video few days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVu_IwuNyxM and I wanted to recreate this for one of my level. I've tried to make a Lunaddl.lua file and copy BlockType = rand(); in the file but everytime I try the level I get "attempt to call global 'rand' (a nil value)" and it does not work. Can someone help me ?

Btw is it possible to apply this but for only one section of a level ? It's okay if not.

Since that video is from before LunaLua existed, my guess is that the code is actually referring to a C++ patch, and not LunaLua at all.

Do you think it can't be done with lunalua ?

Thanks PixelPest, first of all I'm a newbie so sorry if don't understand some things. So for the section 9 the code is player.section == Section(10) I guess, but I get the message " '=' expected near '==' ". But after I'm don't understand how I manipulate each block ID...

For section 9 it would be:

Code: Select all

if player.section == Section(8) then

Do you know anything about Lua?

if player.section == 8 then

local rng = API.load("rng");

function onTick() -- every tick
  for _,v in pairs(Block.get()) do -- for every block
    v.id = rng.randomInt(1,638); -- change the id of the block
  end
end

Should I replace something over "rng" ?

That probably means that you have an outdated version of LunaLua. You should have version 0.7.3 or higher (downlaod here).
Alternatively you can use loadAPI instead of API.load .

Fennor wrote:Another thing about the shell speed someone asked for:

What do you think about this?

Spoiler: show

Code: Select all

function onLoop() 
	for k,v in pairs(NPC.get(5, player.section)) do
		if v.speedX > 0 then
			v.x = v.x - 1.5
		else
			if v.speedX < 0 then
				v.x = v.x + 1.5
			end	
		end			
	end	
end	

So instead of artificially setting the x pos every frame, it lets the shell go with normal speed but at the same time moves it constantly to the left when going right. This way it can still collide. The only problem I can think of so far is that it will mess up the jumping on sloaps. You could simply not allow the shell to get below a certain speed, but this would also mess with throwing the shell up. You could check for the y speed only when x speed is 0, but that would still cause problems when throwing it up diagonally.

Quantumenace wrote:Thanks! I saw that blend option in particles but I couldn't tell how it was supposed to work just from the script. The default particle textures don't work correctly with it because the actual color is all white.

Quantumenace wrote:Also, the "split" function in particles.lua writes to the global variable "i" instead of a local one. Is that intended? I had inconsistent bugs with other things because I accidentally was reading from that, and if it was nil the problem would have been obvious right away.
