Useful LunaLua Documentation Quick Links

[PixelPest]

These are some direct links to important and/or frequently used pages in the LunaLua documentation, to help avoid searching through the surprisingly large PGE Wiki:

Global functions:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_global_functions
All of your general, graphics, static item, text, and miscellaneous functions. Not to be confused with events.

Global sound and music functions:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_glob ... _functions
All of your functions to do with music and sound effects. Not to be confused with events.

Events:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_events
Both your overworld and level events. Always preceeded by "function". They trigger code written inside them whenever a certain time or other criteria is met.

API functions and events:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/LunaLua_global_API_functions
An API, which is placed in Lua Scripts Lib, has certain characteristics and events that make it an API. These items are required for it to function. Refer to barebones.lua for more help info on API format.

Hardcoded image list:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Hardcoded_Im ... MBX_Engine
Certain SMBX graphics require Lua to be used, since they are built in farther than the normal graphics folder. Replacements of hardcoded images can be added to the custom graphics folder of a level or an episode to be used, but they must have the exact same name and dimensions (size).

Sound effects list:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SFX_list_(SMBX64)
The sound effects in the SMBX sounds folder are not in order. Use this list to find their IDs, which is needed for changing sounds in .ini's and for multiple sound effect functions.

Player offsets:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMBX_Player_Offsets
The values held in memory to do with the player's state, actions, etc.

NPC offsets:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMBX_NPC_Offsets
The values held in memory to do with the state of NPCs, their actions, etc.

NPC AIs:
http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMBX_NPC_AI
Descriptors of the default AI of all NPCs.

I feel this could pretty much be summed up by posting this: http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Category:LunaLua_API

I literally summed this up in one line here http://www.smbxgame.com/forums/v ... 87&t=13541 and this thread gets sticky? Bias.

STICKY THIS OR RIOT

Yes. I realize that, but not everything is directly linked to that page, and you need to know what to search for to find what you need. This helps pinpoint certain useful pages from one, clear thread

Your thread is more of an open, Q&A topic. Not saying that it isn't helpful and doesn't have some very useful content, but this is an organized central index, if that makes sense

Maybe you should add a link to the storage of all LunaLua APIs that were released, so that people will have a bigger choice of usage:

Going to try one of these.

Me: Okay... going to try out the Music Lua for my boss rush.

(Gets Error)

Me: ...Why... how do I do this... I'm using this Lua:

Spoiler: show

// Play the music from section 1 right now
PlayMusic,0,1,0,0,1,0

[underFlo]

That's not Lua though.

[h2643]

Going to try one of these.

That's super outdated LunaDLL, not LunaLua.

Then what's the Music Lua. I need to finish by boss rush episode, and I just need to run the custom music properly

[Mable]

Most of the Links in it are Red, so I had to search up a lua on the wiki, I found one, but now I keep on getting this error:

The lines are described to the right of the red links. They don't need their own individual page.
The error you're getting means that lua is unable to find your specified custom music file. Can I see your code?
