How to add more tiles?

Hello

I know how to replace a game-object with another one (for example drawn by me).
But is there also a wax to add more tiles or blocks or something to the groups in the Editor-Windows, without replacing other ones?

It's not possible to have new blocks/BGOs/NPCs, you can only replace existing ones (the NPCs can be modified using NPC codes, though).

No... it's impossible. You tecnically have to replace objects! There's no way you can add more tiles in the editor... only replacing 'em!

In SMW there are blocks, where a chaln of Coins comes out, that can be controlled wich the arrow-keys.
Is it possible to get tis effect in this game here?

It's not possible with SMBX, but maybe you can do that using LunaLua.

The clown car is hard coded. Look here on how to change hard coded graphics:http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... =69&t=6802

The Clown Car sprite when you're riding it is hardcoded. That means you need to physically hack the .exe file to change it.

Edit: Ninja'd

It's not possible. A workaround could be to use the secret airship piece in the Lakitus throwing Lakitus tab, but it's really glitchy, thus not many people use it.

Easy. Just put the black lines down with the stoppers on either side, and then you just plonk your platform onto the lines. The SMB3 one, if off, starts moving when you step on it, but the SMW one can be controlled by its corresponding colour switch.

Make sure you're clicking a coloured SMW block. When it's switched off and not moving, it should look like Used Blocks, but when it's switched on, it's gonna look like Turn Blocks. If you used a blue one and it's off, you need to hit a blue switch to activate it.

Are they on a diagonal line? If so then it doesn't work. You have to put it above the diagonal or on the horizontal or vertical line in order to work perfectly.

the platform is on a diagonal line, because i make a Kite-festival-Level by using mxy own grafics (z.b. i schange hill-background-elemends into kites to soar in the sky) and use the platform-paths as kite-strings, and the platforms should be something like kite-ferrys, but to carry the player instead of candy or a parachute.
now i moved the platform vertical one step higher and it works. the platform slides along the line up and down.

As what bossedit8 said, just stick it above the diagonal line so the platform falls onto it and starts moving. However the platform will have to be activated for it to work otherwise it will just fall through.
