How are supposed to make a cutscene in a level only show up once before or after the level?
It'd be very helpful.

While I'm not sure how to do that with LunaLua, you can use an invisible axe which plays the cutscene event. Just place it at the player spawn.

You can have 2 options you rather make a strolling Cutscene or make it a cutsence but use the layers with hide/show.

To make it one time only, either use the data class, or without lua with SMW stars.

This solution also applies to your case: viewtopic.php?f=87&t=13541&p=255199#p255199

Data classes handle global data managed by the entirety of an episode, or of SMBX itself if you wanted to.
