PixelPest wrote:After many fails and crashes today, I have successfully created a stable API that forces the power-up system in SMBX to act like the power-up systems in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. DS, etc. When the player loses their power-up (if that power-up is a Fire flower, Leaf, etc., and not a mushroom) they return to Big Mario instead of going straight from Fire Mario, Ice Mario, etc. back to Small Mario, as is the default system in SMBX. Write local altpsystem = API.load("altpsystem") in your lunadll.lua file to use this API after placing it in Lua Scripts Lib or your level folder.

Well, mine is a bit different and not that good as yours. The main difference is that if I would use this in episode i would have to paste it in every level's lunadll.lua

Code: Select all

local mozliwazmiana = 0
local mozliwazmiana2 = 0 
local potrzebnazmiana = 0 
function onLoop()
	if player.powerup == PLAYER_FIREFLOWER or player.powerup == PLAYER_LEAF or player.powerup == PLAYER_TANOOKIE or player.powerup == PLAYER_HAMMER or player.powerup == PLAYER_ICE  then 
		mozliwazmiana = 1
	end	
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 2 and mozliwazmiana == 1 then 
		potrzebnazmiana = 1 
	end
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 1 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 3 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 4 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 5 or  player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 7 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 8 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 11 player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 12 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 41 or player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 500 then
		if potrzebnazmiana == 1 then 
			mozliwazmiana2 = 1 
		end	
	end
	if mozliwazmiana2 == 1 
		if	potrzebnazmiana == 1 then 
			player.powerup = PLAYER_BIG
			mozliwazmiana2 = 0
			potrzebnazmiana = 0
			mozliwazmiana = 0
	end
	end
end

It's super strange that we did something similar in one day isn't it?

Whenever you collect items like: Fire Flower, Ice Flower, etc. you still get an extra-Mushroom for your item slot.
Other than that it is perfect!

That's the way it works in NSMB, but I imagine you could easily change that if you wanted to.

Really? Man I gotta play the game again, I might have forgotten that after playing all those Mario Maker Levels where you don't have an item slot.

They actually do have power-up slot in game, but that's only for the handheld games.

Linik wrote:Thanks for this. It's something I've really wanted to add. However, it doesn't seem to be working when I try to put it into the LunaDLL file. Here's the code I've got:

Code: Select all

local storedpower = false --true if player has power-up other than mushroom
local canchange = false --true if it is safe to change the player's power-up
local needchange = false --true if the player's power-up needs to be changed

local altpsystem = API.load("altpsystem")

function altpsystem.onInitAPI()
   registerEvent(altpsystem, "onTick", "onTick", false)
end

function onTick()
	if player.powerup ~= PLAYER_BIG and player.powerup ~= PLAYER_SMALL then --if the player has a power-up other than a mushroom
		storedpower = true
	end
	
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 2 and storedpower == true then --if the player is powering down (hit by an ememy but not killed)
		needchange = true --the player's power-up needs to be changed from default, but cannot be yet, as it will cause an error while powering down
	end
	
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) ~= 2 and needchange == true then --if the player is not powering down
		canchange = true --deem that it is safe to change the player's power-up
	end
	
	if canchange == true and needchange == true then --if the player's power-up needs to be changed and it is safe to change it
		player.powerup = PLAYER_BIG --the player is now Big Mario
		canchange = false --reset all values to false
		needchange = false
		storedpower = false
	end
end

return altpsystem

What am I doing wrong, and how can it be fixed?

local storedpower = false --true if player has power-up other than mushroom
local canchange = false --true if it is safe to change the player's power-up
local needchange = false --true if the player's power-up needs to be changed

function onTick()
	if player.powerup ~= PLAYER_BIG and player.powerup ~= PLAYER_SMALL then --if the player has a power-up other than a mushroom
		storedpower = true
	end
	
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) == 2 and storedpower == true then --if the player is powering down (hit by an ememy but not killed)
		needchange = true --the player's power-up needs to be changed from default, but cannot be yet, as it will cause an error while powering down
	end
	
	if player:mem(0x122,FIELD_WORD) ~= 2 and needchange == true then --if the player is not powering down
		canchange = true --deem that it is safe to change the player's power-up
	end
	
	if canchange == true and needchange == true then --if the player's power-up needs to be changed and it is safe to change it
		player.powerup = PLAYER_BIG --the player is now Big Mario
		canchange = false --reset all values to false
		needchange = false
		storedpower = false
	end
end

It's best just to put the API in the same folder as your Lunadll.lua and use local altpsystem = API.load("altpsystem")

Even that is still not working. I've also tried using API.Load(string altpsystem) but that doesn't seem to work either.
