[NPC Pack] Weird Gizmos

My very first custom pack finally sees light! It features various enemies and blocks suitable for different situations.



CONTENT:
Boo Balloon (YI)
Boost Block (SM3DW)
Cannon Shoe (SMB3)
Heave-Ho (SM64)
Rocket (SMB2)
Rope (NSMB)
Skeeter (NSMB)
Waddlewing (NSMBU)

Sprites by: Mariofan230, Gatete, Duraner Hawkeye, Redigit

changelog: show
11/11/20
- Now the Cannon Shoe dismounts correctly on level end
- Slightly optimized code for Rocket (thanks to MrDoubleA for help)

23/11/20
- Some Skeeter tweaks:
-- Slightly reduced their minimum action timer.
-- Slightly reduced their initial timer so they react a little faster when spawned.
-- Their dash speed is now randomized, making it possible for them to move shorter distances.
-- They're now set to always drop bombs when "Doesn't move" is active.

28/11/20
- Fixed a typo from last Skeeter update which had a wrong effect ID.
- Now all image loadings use Misc.resolveFile(), which should fix some loading problems.

24/6/21
- Heave-Ho now doesn't die when touching it with invincibility frames.

Download

- Of course the content of this pack is not final. Since I'm still a lua beginner there are probably going to be bugfixes and improvements, but most important it will be expanded in the future, so stay tuned for more stuff!
- Every element has its own description in the editor, if you want to figure out what they do.

These are incredible! An idea to expand on the waddlewings could be to allow them to carry objects and release them upon death, like in NSMBU. Might be good for things like assist the enemy type levels where once you finally get to interact and kill it, it drops and exit orb.

I thought that enemy was called a "Chuck-ya"?

Chuckyas are entirely different from Heave-Ho.

Is there anyway to change how long it takes before the player starts to fall off the rope?

-Never mind, I think I found a way to do it.

How could I make stop a waddlewing to jump from the summit of a slope? I also would like to make it stop to "jump" when it spawning for the first time at screen when placed in the air before gliding.

Yeah that's probably a problem I already found while working to another script. If that's the case I should be able to fix that tomorrow

Boosted players are abruptly stopped when they hit steep slopes.

Guess the slope is too steep then. They also often make fire and ice balls poof.

Sadly I know. I only managed to find a workaround with gentle slopes but dashing through steep slopes isn't a thing yet

You sure it's the skeeters? I just tried them out because of this and no error is showing and they work just fine.

What exactly did you do to make this appear?
