Super Mario Bros. X Forums

hello, i was looking through the forums trying to figure this out but coudlnt really find anything that fit, so badically i have a custom enemy sprite for a goomba, that works perfectly fine, but when i kill it with a fireball lets say its custom death effect is cut off and broken whenever it appears, is there a way to adjust the size and frames on an effect or is it impossible? thank you and merry christmas

You can set the size and frames of an effect with txt. files. If you wanna know more about effects: viewtopic.php?t=26207

thank you for linking me this, its pretty helpful, but im still quite perplexed on how exactly to do it, i have some of the commands in a text file already such as frames and frame style, but the problem im having still applies, the changes in the text file just dont get applied, maybe its because i named the text file the wrong thing? i currently have it named "effect-52" since for normal npc sprites you just name the text file after its source sprite to make it work. do i have to name it something different?

using txt files to customize effects works only for effects above id 161. if you want to create a custom effect for an npc which already has an effect id reserved below that, you have to make the actual effect invisible and spawn a custom one when the npc dies through lua.
