LunaDLL - SMBX Extension Module

[lighthouse64]

Isn't it only judges will need lunadll? I don't see why regular entrants would need it to make vanilla levels.

Um maybe he's a judge???

Isn't that the earthquake effect?

[Kevsoft]

It more about the random explosion effect. Normally it is only used by SMBX for the mother brain kill animation but I managed to access the SMBX effect system to run my own effects.

Oh. That's cool I guess u turned the crab into the brain , But adding the quake made it more interesting. Also, Didn't you activate that by killing an npc??? If so, how do you activate things by npc kill??? Like this?

Code: Select all

Onnpckill()
blah blah blah
end

[Kevsoft]

Code: Select all

function isCrabDead() return findnpcs(209, -1)[0] == nil end

But this only works if there is only one NPC of that type in the level.

Oh thx. You can do this with any npc right? You just do

Code: Select all

	function isCoinDead()
return findnpcs(10,-1)[0] == nil end
uservar["shopcoins"] = uservar["shopcoins"] + 1
		UserData.save()


		end

And you can add anything u want inside of this function... I'm pretty sure.

[Kevsoft]

isCrabDead was intended to be a own function to be then used the the Loop function:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
  if(isCrabDead)then
    --Do stuff
  end
end

Oh ok thx Makes more sense since u can't make custom functions.

Okay, I need help. I've tried everything I possibly could, but nothing seems to work. I'm making a Boss Rush Mode, and for the first level you fight each Goomba one by one, and each one of them takes one more hit than the last one. I'm very new to coding, but I even used DarkShadeX's Lunadll.txt generator program to make it easier, but not even that works. Here's the code:

#1
//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,27,1,-1,0,2,0

//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,1,1,-2,0,2,0

//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,2,1,-3,0,2,0

//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,244,1,-4,0,2,0

//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,3,1,-5,0,2,0

//Set all NPCs that have the given NPCID to have taken HITS amount of hits.

SetHits,71,1,-6,0,2,0
#END

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or give me the correct code, I would be eternally grateful.

You can't change the number of hits the NPC has to take to die if the NPC isn't a boss.

[leif_erikson]

Regular goombas weren't programmed to take more than 1 hit

[FanofSMBX]

Regular goombas weren't programmed to take more than 1 hit

AKA they literally can't have more hits. It's not an idea in the game, thus no one can change how it works. Once something touches them, there's not an incrementing counter. Trigger death effect. Bye bye. See you later.

Sorry for swooping in like that Kil, I just thought that that could be confusing to new people as is.

[lighthouse64]

Does anyone know why this has a problem at the loadAPI are?

Code: Select all

[code]function onLoop()

	local raocoin = loadAPI("raocoin")
 
	raocoin.items[1] = raocoin.shopItem(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, "iceflower", function() triggerEvent("getitem") end);
		
		printText("money:"..tostring(),30,60)
			
			function buyItem()
			
				end
			end

If you want to answer for me it'll just make it a lot easier for me

[lighthouse64]

Here's a really lame script I made:

Code: Select all

function onLoad()
jumpheight(25)
end
function onLoop()

end
function onJump()
playSFX("1up.mp3")
end

You'll here a ding sound every time you jump

Alright, so if I can't use LunaDll to help me out, isn't there a way to make it so when you kill ONE goomba, another one pops in right where he died, and if you remove the death animation for said goomba, it gives the effect of multiple hits? How would I do that?

[RudeGuy]

Use events and layers. For 2 goombas, make 1 layer for the second goomba and make an event where you have to put put in toggle layers the layer of the second goomba. Repeat this thing for each new goomba you put. Hope I explained well this.

Uh, You could use lua. IDK how to do it exactly, but it would be something like this:

Code: Select all

function onLoop()
if(goombaisdead) then
return findnpcs(1,-1)[0] == nil end
 	NPC.activateEventName
end
end

But it would be much easier to do it with events.

[FanofSMBX]

Step 1: place second Goomba on a layer then mark it invisible
Step 2. Attach a regular Goomba to that layer
Step 3: upon first Goomba's death use an event to show second Goomba. It shows up right where the first one was.
