kindHurtBlock.lua - Unredigised hitboxes

Postby **MrDoubleA** » Wed Dec 08, 2021 4:39 pm

Little library I wrote in about 10 minutes for my mystery contest submission. It decreases the hitbox size of harmful blocks, to make them more forgiving. The amount it's decreased by is customisable.

This is an absolutely incredible library that I can see being used for a lot of projects. It's so simple! I'm surprised it hasn't been made sooner. Thank you for creating this!

This is awesome! Definitely would give a more fair margin of error for all types of levels.

I'm absolutely going to use this somewhere, especially with how tight the lava hitboxes are in vanilla SMBX, which makes them unideal for tight lava sections that involve skull rafts and platforming. With credit, I guess

you could edit "kindHurtBlock.directions" table to include other blocks

So, it seems that overlapping lava blocks with normal blocks makes things goofy.
This is WITH kindHurtBlocks:

And this is without:

Obviously you can't fix the latter, but maybe a fix can be applied to the former two?

looks like it's something else you have loaded that's causing it. i've personally experienced a similar bug (player sinking into blocks when overlapping with a hurt block's hitbox) without even using kindhurtblock, so if you're using a costume it could be that, or maybe a different library that the level's using.

I would agree, but if I comment out kindHurtBlocks, the glitch is non present. Even with a less modified player (that Yellow Toad uses the SMW Costume Code), it STILL happens when kindHurtBlocks is enabled. So IDK
