Hey there once again!
Here's a library that let's you roll when sliding & do a somersault by pressing altRun + down, which lets you gain a burst speed & even makes you invincible for a short time!
You can also configure the library with the following:
- somersault.enabled - can the player be able to somersault?
- somersault.slideRoll - can the player also be able to roll when simply sliding?
- somersault.barrelRoll - can the player also be able to roll when being shot out of a barrel?
- somersault.allowFlash - should the player flash white upon starting a somersault?
- somersault.setiFrames - how many frames will the player be invincible when initiating a somersault?
- somersault.setCooldown - how many frames will it take before the player can somersault again after doing one?
- somersault.initSpeedX - how much HORIZONTAL speed will the player get when initiating a somersault?
- somersault.initSpeedY - how much VERTICAL speed will the player get when initiating a somersault?
- somersault.inputsNeeded - what are the inputs needed to perform a somersault?
1. Install the file in the link below then copy & paste it to the level/episode folder of your choice.
2. In that level/episode's "luna.lua" file, copy & paste this line below on the top part of said "luna.lua" file:
Code: Select all
local somersault = require("somersault")
3. Save the "luna.lua" file then open up the level/episode & press altRun + Down to do a somersault!

Definitely a "must-use" for a future project for sure!
Very good work.

This is actually cool! Does it also work for other characters?

The script technically
could work with other characters that aren't Toad, Peach, Link or any other characters that use them as a base, as the only thing stopping it work with other characters is two simple checks to see if the player's character is either Mario or Luigi.
That said, I haven't tested the script on them so

According to google:
Mario maintains his moveset from previous 3D titles, including the Triple Jump, the Long Jump, the Side Somersault, the Backward Somersault, the Roll, the Ground Pound, the Ground Pound Jump, the Spin Jump, and the returning dive.
2 of those are in this very pack, we just need a long jump lua and a backwards somersault lua and we got it

Hello!
I recently overhauled my somersault script to 2.0 for a more well written script + added rolling after being shot out of a barrel as a new optional setting!

I know it's been a day but here's another semi major update to somersault lol
- Fixed showing the slide animation when somersaulting for a certain time with slideRoll turned off
- Added
anotherwalljump compatibilty to prevent rolling while wall-sliding
- Added a white flash upon somersaulting to indicate how many i-frames the player has left.

I hope this question doesn't seem too annoying as a request, but: Is there a chance that this could ONLY work for the barrels (i.e. when the player is ejected from a barrel) and otherwise somersault.lua is not active?
(I have not downloaded your work yet and therefore not tested what can be done with it)

Ok, I have encountered a bit of a weird bug...
I changed some code to allow Toad to somerSault, but when I do so, Toad´s images flicker and stop rolling earlier than the characters normally allowed to somerSault. Here´s two gifs to better explain...
when mario somerSaults
when toad somerSaults

There is a reason why I only left it to support Mario & Luigi by default.
somersault.lua requires the slide ability in order to work properly, as that handles most of the physics.
Which usually
only Mario & Luigi can do. Because of this, Peach, Toad, Link, & any SMBX2 character that uses them as a base can't use somersault since they don't have the ability to slide sadly

Ah, that makes much more sense! I do plan to input code in order to allow Toad to slide (and ride Yoshi) in the future (probably not possible), but I think even that might not help... thanks for replying though

It Glitches out when you try sliding down a slope as Wario
