How do I setup customization of NPCs, Blocks & BGOs?

[Animebryan]

I trying to create some custom blocks & I'm not sure what the options refer to. Here's the dummy.ini template:

[block]
image = "Dummy.png"
name = "Dummy Block"
group = "Dummy blocks"
category = "Dummy block"
sizable = 0
danger = 0
collision = 1
slope-slide = 0
shape-type = 0
lava = 0
destroyable = 0
destroyable-by-bomb = 0
destroyable-by-fireball = 0
spawn-on-destroy = 0
destroy-effect = 1
bounce = 0
hitable = 0
transform-onhit-into = 0
algorithm = 0
animated = 0
frames = 1
frame-delay = 125

While some are obvious, there's a few that I'm not so sure of. Can I get a list of what each of these options mean, including ones for NPCs & BGOs?

Most of these options are exclusive to the PGE engine.
For SMBX2's purposes, INI files only affect the editor and only the visual/display fields are interesting.
Documentation is here:

For actual in-game customization, you need to use NPC config. There's a template in the npc-n.lua in the _templates folder, and a list of NPC codes here

It won't stop giving me the finger! I set up 4 custom blocks to act as layer switches when hit, set the Hitable setting to 1, but when I try to hit it, it acts like a used solid block. It doesn't bump up like a hitable block should. How do I fix this?

One of the ini files:

Spoiler: show

[block]
image = "block-757.png"
name = "Right Arrow Block"
group = "Custom blocks"
category = "Switch block"
sizable = 0
danger = 0
collision = 1
slope-slide = 0
shape-type = 0
lava = 0
destroyable = 0
destroyable-by-bomb = 0
destroyable-by-fireball = 0
spawn-on-destroy = 0
destroy-effect = 0
bounce = 0
hitable = 1
transform-onhit-into = 0
algorithm = 0
animated = 0
frames = 1
frame-delay = 0

.ini files only affect the PGE editor, so don't expect it to work in game.

If you want to make a block hitable, then try adding 'Block.config[n].hitable = true' to your level's/episode's luna.lua file, replacing the n with the block ID.

bumpable, not hitable

[Animebryan]

What?

[Hoeloe]

As has been said, .ini files only affect how the block appears in the editor. In order to change its in-game behaviour, you need to add:

Code: Select all

Block.config[BLOCKID].bumpable = true

to your levels luna.lua file.

[Animebryan]

So do I add that as well or just change hitable to bumpable?

The ini is completely irrelevant for this. The ini's config flag is called "hitable" but only affects the PGE engine, which we don't use in SMBX2. All you need is the line hoeloe provided.

Bringing up the ini file is irrelevant. We're talking about the luna.lua file & whether to replace hitable with bumpable or to keep hitable & have both.

[Enjl]

Ah, I didn't know you skipped over the part where I corrected Electriking by saying that the field is called "bumpable" instead of "hitable". Hitable doesn't exist in block config.
