Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Hello there, I've been torturing Mario for a while and now it's time to release this library so you can join in on the fun
Introducing

deathAnimations.lua v1.0

Instead of dying the ordinary way with the ordinary (and boring) death effect, let the player react to their demise in unique ways!
This library overrides the normal death animation and lets you register your own instead.
You'll need some lua knowledge to register your own death animations!

To register a death animation, you'll need three functions:
- checkFunc(p): return true when the player has died to the desired source. You might need do some trickery with this
- tickFunc(p,data): onTick() equivalent. Use it to set values in the data table, which you can use to draw the death animation in
- drawFunc(p,data): onDraw() equivalent. Draw the death animation here, using values from the data table
(Note: data.deathTimer is reserved and counts up every frame, starting with 1. Don't forget to end an animation with deathAnimations.endAnimation(p))

Here are some examples (gone wrong): By the way, this library is multiplayer compatible! If you use respawnRooms.lua, you'll have to disable quick respawn though to get these animations.

Don't be as cruel as I am and credit me if you use this library.

interested? Then here's the download!
deathAnimations.lua v1.0

does this work with the basegame character graphics, or just the SMW costumes?

it comes packaged for SMW graphics, but all it'd take to fix it for the default ones is a bit of image editing

Yeah I originally wanted to also add a default costume image but then I realized that I am lazy and didn't. Hence there's also no dedicated death animation for Link in those cases, it's very much possible, I just couldn't be bothered lol

Is it possible to check if the player is colliding with a box made by easyLiquids.lua (by Akromaly). I'm having a hard time trying to check for the script's lava collider.

This library is quite interesting. But I have to say, forbidden knowledge takes longer time to comprehend.

You can add this in your burnCheck function that should be in your global luna.lua file (right before return false): For that to work you have to register easyLiquids in your luna.lua file. If that's not already the case, you can add this at the beginning of the file: (You can see that it's registered already if you can find "local easyliquids = require("easyliquids")" in that file)
