Dunno if this has been asked before, but whenever I reskin an SMB3 Lakitu, he doesn't throw those green spiny balls anymore. The graphic I'm using now is 44 by 44, and has only one frame, if that's of any help. How can I make reskinned Lakitus throw their green balls again?

Uh select the green spiny and set it to Lakitu = ON.

That will spawn an SMW Lakitu, not an SMB3 one. I hate to be nitpicky, but is there really no way to use the SMB3 Lakitus?

Hmm... maybe SMBX doesn't really reconizes SMB3 Lakitus Size very well, I do not know. Can you give us the graphic so we can look into it further?

You may want to just use the same frame 6 times. I'll bet Lakitu checks to see what frame he's on to know if he throws, and if he's on first frame all the time he never throws.

Changing the SMB3 Lakitu's size will make it stop throwing Spiny Eggs altogether. You should be able to change the sprite without any problems but applying any code that would change its size will break it. I ran to this problem before and since I needed its size changed I just used a SMW Lakitu.

Edit: In light of the fact that you didn't change its size, changing how the frames go will also break it apparently, as FanofSMBX said.

Didn't Sednaiur make giant Lakitus though?

I think he used the SMW Lakitu since the SMW Lakitu doesn't break when using NPC codes, unlike the SMB3 one.

I guess I'll just reskin the SMW Lakitu instead, then. Thanks for the help anyway!
