Quick Respawn Key

[LooKiCH]

Are you tired of waiting for the world map to load after the file, then the level to load? I wrote a script that allows you to quickly restart the level by simply pressing the F8 key

With reset powerups

Without reset powerups

how to use: show

Code: Select all

local quickrestart = require("quickrestart")

copy this code and paste it into the luna.lua file

P. S. You can apply the script to all episodes by dropping the quickrespawn.lua file into the "scripts" folder
And then paste the code into the lunabase.lua file (at the end of the file) (in "scripts/base/game")

settings: show

Code: Select all

quickrestart.resetpowers = true -- Reset powerups to the state it was at the start of the level (if at least one player is alive)
quickrestart.losepowerups = true -- Lose power-ups if all players have died
quickrestart.loselives = true -- Lose 1-UPs if all players have died
quickrestart.restartkey = VK_F8 -- Quick restart key, you may change a key

This seems like it could really be useful for speedrunning, but I feel as though if someone is training to speedrun a level that they'd just use the level editor instead.
Nonetheless, cool script!
