Is there any way at all to keep regular coins as Link? I could change his main block coin to red coins and change the sprites, but the coins would still come out instead of getting collected on the hit.

Is there a toggle for this? Toad and Peach use a similar system, so I thought there might be.

There isn't, but I believe all that happens is that the coins are changed to rupees when the character switch is hit. You could just use LunaLua to iterate over all coin instances and revert them back by transforming into another ID (the original one of the coins)

Coins exploding out of blocks is a mechanic independent to the type of coin coming out. There are fields to change the ID for Link on this page, but nothing so far for Toad, Luigi and their respective block hit effects.

I tried this, but they stay as rupees even if I try forcing an ID change.

Yeah that's what I'm doing, but I'm using red coins because the game forces all coins to be rupees. I might just change the sprites of the rupees into coins and change the sound. Idk why I didn't do that in the first place.

Can you show your code?

All I have now is this:

Code: Select all

local function coinDrops()	-- CHANGES THE TYPE OF COIN FROM KILLS AND BLOCKS
	defines.block_hit_link_rupeeID2 = 251
	defines.block_hit_link_rupeeID3 = 251
	defines.kill_drop_link_rupeeID2 = 251
	defines.kill_drop_link_rupeeID3 = 249
end

But, what I had before was this I think:

Code: Select all

local function changeRupees()
    for _, n in pairs(NPC.get(251, -1)) do
		n.id = 10;
    end
end

It worked when I tried changing it to other NPCs, but when I tried coins, they would remain as rupees.

That can't be your whole code. Where are you calling those functions from? Also try NPC:transform(). In terms of Defines, they act just like variables; try setting them in onStart() and make sure the d in defines is capitalized

That's not my whole code, I just felt like I'd just send the function and let you assume where it was called. The first code is called onStart(), the second is called onTick(). I tested it with the ID of a goomba and it worked, but when I tried coins, they stayed as rupees. The first code is working I just wasn't sure which one you were asking for.

Defines works without capitalization, but if that's more acceptable, I'll change it. I'll check out NPC:transform() even though I already changed the rupees sprites and the SFX.

EDIT: NPC:tranform() does not work either, my guess is the game actively forces the coins' IDs to be the rupees' IDs.

Code: Select all

function onTick()
	armorSet()
	correctJump()
    for _, n in pairs(NPC.get(251, -1)) do
      n:transform(10)
    end
end

If I try a different ID, such as 1 (Goomba), it works fine.

EDIT 2: Off-topic question, is there a remainder function in LunaLua?

I assume this is another stupid Redigit thing where the rupees aren't actually rupees, but still SMB3 coins. There's probably a memory field somewhere (that hasn't been found yet) and I'll see if I can find it tomorrow, otherwise you might have to actually spawn a new NPC and kill the old one.

In terms of remainder, you can use modulo (%). So like 5%2 = 1 and 2%1= 0

The rupees are definitely rupees. The flag is very likely to be something that will be added to the Defines table once found.
