Modifying GP input - groundPound.lua
Posted: Thu May 05, 2022 11:43 pm
I am fully aware I could ask on the original groundPound.lua topic but the creator hasn't been active since last year.
I've been using the ground pound for a bit now and wish to change the the ground pound trigger from down to my alt run. Initially I tried doing this myself by changing the two instances of 'down' to 'altRun' but no results. I modified the following code:
I am unsure what else needs to be done. I also realised that using Alt Run to trigger the ground pound could be problematic with a powerup that has special abilities. I would need a way to have the input be replaced while in the air only and not making contact with the ground, and have any special abilities disabled in the air, but allow the use of said abilities on the ground.
I want to replace the key because I think mid-air crouching is important, and I also want to have the game play more like most modern Mario games where a separate button becomes ground pound (like ZL or something in newer games).
Thank you.
