Render priority currently only applies to custom lua sprites. But it is planned to also apply it to internal rendering.

Thanks For the info, for now i'll will use the same chest npc as (A SMB3 Thing)


Also how to make an npc hurting npc ? I'll try to make bullet to go in a right line but I use birdo's eggs but it wont kill npc just
players.

tableOfBirdoEggs = NPC.get(40, -1) -- I think 40 was the birdo egg
for _, v in pairs (tableOfBirdoEggs) do
  tableOfDeath = NPC.getIntersecting(v.x, v.y, v.x + v.width, v.y + v.height)
  for k, w in pairs (tableOfDeath) do
    if not w.id == --[[use this line to add exceptions to the npc ids you want to kill]] then
      w:kill()
    end
  end
end

Code: Select all

tableOfBirdoEggs = NPC.get(40, -1) -- I think 40 was the birdo egg
for _, v in pairs (tableOfBirdoEggs) do
  tableOfDeath = NPC.getIntersecting(v.x, v.y, v.x + v.width, v.y + v.height)
  for k, w in pairs (tableOfDeath) do
    if not w.id == --[[use this line to add exceptions to the npc ids you want to kill]] then
      w:kill()
    end
  end
end

yup 40 is the id for the eggs , but with your code a green koopas wont die or just green shell also
but the exception to not kill the npc I want, work but only for the eggs weird,
maybe the eggs can only kill the players.

I have a plan also maybe with trying colliders lua stuff, when the colliders of the eggs touch a npc is dying !
but not sure with colliders

If you want to test it with any npc, remove the if clause.

Enjl wrote:Oh, I must've overlooked that line.

Looking over the code a second time, I can't see anything which would cause any issues. I don't know if I'm spouting some nonsense right here, but maybe it's because the key for the hammers is "k", which is also the key for the hammer brothers? Try changing one of the "k"s to "k1" or something.

Enjl wrote:OH I thought you were having trouble changing the npc ID. DERP, sorry. I don't know how I missed that. >.<

What exactly IS it doing that you're displeased with? It looks like it should work just fine.

Enjl wrote:My best guess is that the Hammer Bro AI overrides your changes made to animationTimer. I kind of expected a rainbow flashing hammer brother, since he doesn't change his animationFrame every frame normally, but you're setting him to do so.

You could override the hammer bro animation with your own completely, but that seems kind of last-resort-ish.

v.animationTimer = 2;
v.animationFrame = 8;
