Would it be possible to make a health bar like on this picture:

for both player and a boss?

They both involve using a counter that decreases every time the boss or Mario is hurt and drawing images (Graphics.drawImageWP) to the screen of the counters. What I use to replicate Super Mario Galaxy's HUD in my Super Mario Galaxy Modder API is the same idea, if you want to check that out as an example

OK. Thanks

If I'm doing:

Code: Select all

for i = 1, #table do

Is there any way to find out which row of the table satisfies table ? Been wondering this for a while but haven't asked and can't find it anywhere

Row of the table? Your code is a loop which goes over each element in your table. Frame table[1] to table[#table]. What kind of rows are you talking about?

[Alagirez]

You have to put calledEvent between the first pair of parenthesis.

Like this?

Code: Select all

function onEvent(calledEvent)
	if calledEvent =="KILLPlayer" then
		player:kill()
	end
end

yes

There's a player offset for link carrying a key. You can keep track of when he picks it up and when he loses it.

Thank you so much, got it to work with Link! Probably not the most effective way of coding it but it works.

Spoiler: show

function onTick()
if player:mem(0x12,FIELD_WORD) < 0 then
key=1
end

if (player:mem(0x12,FIELD_WORD) == 0) and (key == 1) then
triggerEvent("Exit level")
key=2
end

end

In addition I noticed that for the other characters, throwing the key to lava or to a pit does not trigger the death-event, only using it on a door does. So I can use this code for the Link levels and the death-trigger for the other characters.

I wish S1eths code was still available. Anyway, if we look past the problem that all npcs are assigned 3 health points by default by the HealthPoint API, it is also true that setNPCHealth cannot be called within the onLoop function. If you call it in the onLoad function it works well however, and healthPoint.setNPCHealth(1, 1) will make Goombas die after only one hit.

Hope this helps someone!

Thank you so much S1eth! I have now got it to work. It should be added though that the user still have to use HealthPoint.MakeNPCNormal(id) to return all npcs' health to normal. Now however, that function does not remove all the npcs from the array that HealthPoint uses to keep track of all modifications, but rather set them to nil. If I had any suggestion, it would be to call MakeNPCNormal from inside the HealthPoint itself, or simply set all npcs to nil initially.

Again, thank you S1eth!

I tried updating Lunalua on my 2.0 beta version recently and I keep getting this annoying error every time I start a game, load a world in game (or sometimes a level), or load a level in the legacy editor:

Errors while loading sound files
Some audio files failed to load:
C:\...\SMBX2\sound\fireball.mp3

All those sound files are .ogg. I tried converting an mp3 of the fireball sound but it still gives the error. Everything in the game appears to work, it's just irritating.
I followed the instructions on the first post, are there other Lunalua files I need to replace?

In your SMBX folder, open sounds.ini. Look for file="sound/fireball.mp3" and change that to ogg

In the sounds.ini, the line already says .ogg. To fix the error specified, you'll have to uncomment the lines related to the fireball sound, because for whatever reason someone left semicolons in front of them.

I'm trying to get CinematX to work.

According to this (http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/CinematX.lua - possibly outdated) article, you are supposed to just have these files installed

textblox.lua
GraphX.lua
Eventu.lua
Colliders.lua
Npcconfig.lua
Inputs.lua

And you are supposed to have this line in your lunalua.dll -file which I do.

cinematX = loadSharedAPI("cinematX")

And this happens, the default message UI is not replaced and instead there are two numbers displayed on top of the player and on top of an NPC that has a message. What could be causing this? I even reinstalled Lunalua to try to fix it. The graphic files are in the CinematX -folder.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure CinematX is (or was at the release of SMBX 2.0 Beta) really heavy WIP, so maybe some aspects of it won't work. You can always take a look at the example episode though

[Reign]

Yeah, that's possible. I might just use the default message boxes instead, but which episode do you actually mean?

[MECHDRAGON777]

If you have 2.0, their is a little test episode that came with it...

[Reign]

I was using PGE+Luna-modified SMBX. Seems the fault might have been in that since I get the same error opening the example episode. I'll try to move on to SMBX 2 now then, however I already found some issues with that too... so moving on to complain in another thread.

[Quantix]

A question: is there a way to make all graphics of a certain type transparent with Lua?

[underFlo]

Do you mean sprites you draw with Lua or built-in graphics like NPCs?

[Yoshi021]

Code: Select all

function onKeyUp(KEY_SPINJUMP)
 Counter = Counter + 1
end

I want to trigger an event, every time I press the "Spin Jump" button, but this script triggers the event everytime I press any button. How do I fix this?
