timetrialisactive is nil. Use the data class to use variables in multiple lunadll.lua files http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Data_%28class%29

I'm not sure if we can but is there a way to remove a line created by the data:save() ? from a txt file ?
if yes how ?

Thanks

After a small period of time running LunaLua/SMBX 2.0, it just stops working with a message telling the memory couldn't be "read". I tried to get help with that before but Kevsoft just disappeared and forgot about it.

I use an older OS (Windows XP Service Pack 3) due to my PC being too weak for Win7/8/10.

You could just change the value to something that would never trigger anything in a function, so that it acts like it's gone. For example, if you are using 0 and 1 to represent false and true, you could change the value to 2 so that it doesn't satisfy any conditions.

Yep thanks I found a similar solution it's tricky but it's work and need more work :S

also instead of put a value else that we dont want we can put the variable empty at the end of the loop if we are in loop.

Code: Select all

data:set("MyVariable01", tostring(""))

For Kevsoft, I dont know if is it possible but can you add to the Data(Class) something like this who can delete a value in the txt we dont want
ie: data:remove("MyVariable01")

Thanks

Edit: It's my or the command player:kill() is bugged in the last lunalua ? I got keep the player dying million time without ending
weird. , I tried to get it on onInitAPI and onLoop but both is doing this

[TheSaturnyoshi]

That's because you're repeatedly killing the player, you can only do it once, try replacing it with this:
if playerKilled==0 then player:kill(); playerKilled=1; end

[PixelPest]

Can't seem to get this encrypted jumpcounter to work:

Code: Select all

function onJumpEnd()
	x = tonumber(Borderlands:get("jumpcounter"))
	Borderlands:set("jumpcounter", x + 1)
	Borderlands:save()
end

For the achievement "Up" as defined by Borderlands:set("up", 1), nothing happens although I don't get an error either:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
--achievements
	if Borderlands:get("jumpcounter") == 1 then
		if Borderlands:get("up") == 0 then
			Borderlands:set("up", 1)
			Borderlands:save()
			playSFX(20)--boss-beat
		end
	end
end

EDIT: Fixed

[lotus006]

as I know so far, you need to put tostring("1") or else is not saving the number instead, probably I'm wrong, correct me if is not wright :S

Code: Select all

 Borderlands:set("up", tostring"1") -- or tonumber("1")

He's using encrypt. With encrypt you can use numbers.

Is there a way to make everything in game (including the player) fall at a consistent rate? The gravity in this game makes common kaizo tricks like shelljumps so hard to build.
Also interested in making jumping off of a P-switch freer as currently it is a pixel-perfect to jump off of.
Im also wondering if there's a way to get bombs to be spinjumpable in a way that you can bomb surf by spinjump chaining.
I'm just trying to think of ways to make kaizo levels more familiar.
Thanks in advance.

I remade an idea from Prado the LunaLua Super Mario n64 hud Air Meter Gauge , click on the link to see it !

How do I use the 'Player:getCurrentPlayerSetting()' function and the PlayerSettings class to store the player's hitbox height, hitbox width, & hitbox duck height in their own variables? The documentation on this specific subject seems poor at best...

[PixelPest]

http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Player_(class)

Try using player.width and player.height to do this. Read the documentation I posted above.

[Kevsoft]

PlayerSetting holds all informations about hitbox height, width, duck heiht and offsets of a character with a specific powerup state (i.e. Big Mario, Fireflower Link, ...). getCurrentPlayerSetting returns a "PlayerSetting"-Object which is bound to the current powerup state and character.

I'm trying to use the paralx API with this code:

Code: Select all

local paralX = loadAPI("paralX")
local bg1Img = Graphics.loadImage("bg1.png")

function onStart ()
	bg1 = paralX.create ({image=bg1Img, x=-150, y=-150, repeatY=false, parallaxX=0.45, parallaxY=0.35, alpha=1})
end

But the parallax layer never appears. What am I doing wrong?

It's probably waaaay off screen. You're telling it not to repeat on the Y axis, and positioning it at -150 on the Y axis. Remember that the top left corner of section 1 is at -200000,-200000.

Is there a way to read .ini files? It would be pretty rad if there was.

(not the player.ini files, like one I made myself)

[lotus006]

I need to find some P2 value in memory address offsets but I have for the P1 like player:mem(0xF0, FIELD_WORD, 4)
but in example in cheat engine how do I view this memory section 0xF0 ?

You can look into the io-library from the standard lua libraries.

How do you create a lunadll.lua file? (The one for your episode)
