I have a custom NPC that I want to use in my SMBX2 level but I can't make it visible. Help?

NPCs are visible by default. Can you share more information about your custom NPC? Spritesheet, lua file setup, editor ini...

This custom NPC was created by me and it's invisible by default in SMBX2.

Maybe I set it up incorrectly?

The default state of NPCs is visible. Unless you messed up somewhere, NPCs have no reason to be invisible, which is why I requested more information, so that I can maybe take a look over the relevant files and find the thing that causes it to be invisible.

Does changing the name of the custom NPC to "npc-751.png" probably fix this?

Just upload the files and I take a look and tell you where the issue is. Guesswork takes too long.

SMBX2 decided to recognize my custom NPC and make it visible.

EDIT: For some reason, the custom NPC is jumping nonstop, IDK why.

that's just what the placeholder ai script does. the npc's behavior can be changed by editing its .lua file.

I opened the .lua file, and where's the jumping script and where to disable this?

Scroll down to the comment that reads that the default behaviour is jumping. The lines below that comment are the jump behaviour and can be commented out or removed to disable the jumping.

What are the NPC jumping script names?

EDIT: I just tried removing the NPC jumping script and nothing's changed.

the part you're supposed to remove is:

Code: Select all

if v.collidesBlockBottom then
	v.speedY = -6
end

though i think it's worth noting (and i don't mean to sound condescending) that if you don't know how to do this, you're probably better off not messing with lua files yet.

Does it remove the "--Execute main AI. This template just jumps when it touches the ground."?

Edit: The custom NPC doesn't jump anymore.

How do I make the event start when the player enters the trigger?
