inertia.lua - Keep your speed on moving npcs!
Posted: Sat Mar 09, 2024 9:50 am
You may know the moment when you are trying to platform on a moving platform (looking at you, red YI platform) and it's hard to stay on the platform and feels wrong as well.
The lack of inertia in SMBX bothered me at least, so here's a little library that fixes that!
inertia.lua v1.1
With this library you keep your momentum on moving npcs, making it a lot easier to stay on a moving platform.
Additionally, your jump height is effected by the vertical speed of the platform! You can get quite a lot of distance with that.
v1.1 fixes two issues:
- Fixed an oversight where jumping to the left capped your speed at your runspeed
- NPC's layer movement now also affects you
You can customize how it works with these:

You can customize how it works with these:
Code: Select all
local inertia = require("inertia") -- loads the library
inertia.keepSpeed = 1 -- how much speed you keep when leaving the platform
inertia.maxJumpSpeed = -16 -- the highest vertical speed you can get when jumping off a moving platform
inertia.minJumpSpeed = -3 -- the lowest vertical speed you get when jumping off a moving platform.
inertia.maxSpeedX = 6 -- highest horizontal speed. If > 6, you can get faster than your normal running speed, it reverts back to normal when landing
