Need help with lua? - LunaLua General Help

[Reign]

I might have been a bit unclear in my previous message. The fact that there are no updates is fine, as long as nothing else breaks in the future. Since even the generators worked with healthpoint.lua in an earlier versio of Lunalua.

I don't want somebody to download my episode in 2018 and encounter errors that were not there in the 2016 LunaLua.

If that doesn't work, there's a bug I noticed with LunaTester in PGE regarding episode-wide sounds.ini
For some reason sounds.ini sometimes does not work unless a level-wise sounds.ini was loaded before (I don't know if this was fixed yet). Try sounds/smw-exit.ogg (or your new filename format) once more, but test it from the main game if possible. Though not being able to properly hear the sound when testing is a nuisance, you can confirm that it works this way.

Ok, this worked. I probably should have tried this first, but it's good to know. Thanks.

Where would be a good place to learn about the npc's animation timer?

[loop]

I can't get customLotus.lua to load for some reason. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

local npcParse = API.load("npcParse");
local customLotus = API.load("NPCs\\customLotus")

What am I doing wrong or missing??

I don't think "NPCs" is the name of the folder, if I remember correctly? I also always use "/" instead of "\\", however I'm not sure that'll make a difference

I got it from the level Shogun from the demo stages, and that was what was in it.

[PixelPest]

Well, do you have any other code that could be the issue?

[loop]

Don't worry, PixelPest. I solved the issue.

Don't worry, PixelPest. I solved the issue.

Just wondering, what was the issue?

customLotus.Lua not loading. I was a little vague.

Can I set an event to permanently trigger once I get a certain number of stars?

You'll need to refer to the global memory value 0x00B251E0 for stars. You could use triggerEvent(), although there's a good chance there's a more efficient way to do what you're trying to do with the event. What does it do?

The event would create a generator where there wasn't one earlier. I'm trying to make it so that anytime that you enter the level with "X" or more stars, the generator is active.

Then don't worry about events. Use Layer:show() instead: http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Layer_(class)

I'm looking for a CinematX.lua tutorial (I'd like to make a boss fight). Could you give me a link to it? (Don't even try to link a pgewiki page about it :v)

It's not at all recommended to use CinematX. It's very outdated, and actually mostly broken.

It's best to use these three libraries, which are more stable, and have some of the things you need:

http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Colliders.lua

Thank you very much!

Thanks! This worked!

Anyways, how do you set a player offset? I tried this:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
	if player:mem(PC+0x154, FIELD_WORD) == 87 then
		player:mem(PC+0x154,FIELD_WORD) = 17;
	end
end

And I got this:

(I blacked out parts of the location because I'm going to use this for a contest.)

[PixelPest]

It's not PC+0x154, just 0x154. Also use onTick() instead of onLoop(); the latter is deprecated
