you can do a getIntersecting check over overlapping blocks to tag them with a variable that prevents them from transforming No you can't. Beat blocks don't "transform" between different IDs, they change their state, so you'd have to prevent the state from changing for all blocks of this type, which...

That's not how it works. You don't just "insert" parts of one NPCs code into another. However, all NPCs from ID 293 onwards have open source code, so you can just take a look in the scripts folder to see how they were made.

In my experience, legacy autoscroll is virtually useless in SMBX2

To be totally fair, it hasn't changed. It was virtually useless in 1.3, too.

> 4. ... it sucks that you can't access battle mode from it as far as I'm aware). Since recent time, PGE Editor can launch battle mode with SMBX-38A and TheXTech engines. But still, SMBX2 doesn't support that. At the same time, SMBX2 have a broken two-player game support. This is disingenuous at be...

Custom world map music is not part of SMBX. It's a PGE engine only feature, and won't work in the game. Instead, you should use music.ini files to redirect existing music tracks to custom music, or use Lua to play music manually.

Besides, if you have compatibility concerns, there's still a possibility of making levels in PGE and saving them in .lvl format instead of .lvlx. That's the thing, just to test out if PGE levels worked in 1.3, I loaded up one of the completed levels that I have been working on in my episode, and it...

It's not broken by any means, but it sometimes doesn't closes when closing the window, takes too much time to load, or spawns your character at weird positions when opening another level. So, aside from a lot of other very weird points that I won't get into (like how more NPCs somehow makes the edi...

i Don't know what it means by "luna.lua:8: 'then' expected near ';' "

Like I said before, ; is NOT used to access functions. You should NOT be writing player;mem, but player:mem. You've used semicolons where they don't make sense.

You... don't need to copy the lua files, just load them using "require".

It wasn't producing an error message. How do i save the file Correctly?

How did you create it? There should be a button in the editor under Scripts that allows you to open the local level script. That should create the correct file.

Oh ok, I'll see if it works.

Added in 15 minutes 47 seconds:
It's still not working It still Moves To the End Of Section Immediately.

Was it producing an error message before? If it wasn't, then your Lua code wasn't even running. You likely didn't save the file correctly.

The problem is that lunetime.tick() continues to increase while the layer movement is paused, so the layer remains stationary while the speed continues to change. The way to resolve this is to not use lunatime.tick(). instead, create a local variable, say, "timer", and assign it to 0 initially. Then...

player;kill()

If your code isn't erroring, it's not running.

This should be player:kill(). A semicolon (;) is used as a marker for the end of a line, not as a member function. For that, you'd use a full colon (:), which is used similarly to a period (.) in Lua.

I just discovered a bug that if you change episode, yout point stay the same and it can also deactivate the switch palace of other episode. (SMBX2 with all patch) How are you "changing episode"? The best way to switch episodes is to go back to the launcher and switch from there. The old title scree...

You don't "insert" the costume files. You place the entire costume folder in their own "costumes" folder, and activate the costume from a Lua script (though I believe MrDoubleA's SMW costumes are built into the latest version of the game): function onStart() Player.setCostume(CHARACTER_MARIO, "SMW-M...

These are for an unfinished set of NPCs - shield monitors from Sonic the Hedgehog. They're not available in the editor because they're not finished and don't work.

You aren't supposed to run that .exe directly. SMBX2.exe in the root folder should be the one you run. If that doesn't work, try SMBXLauncher.exe in the data folder. If THAT doesn't work, try LunaLoader.exe.

Checking PGE for updates isn't going to update your engine. SMBX2 Beta 4 patch 2.1 is the latest version, which you can download from http://codehaus.moe.

I believe that error can occur if you're using an old version of Beta 4. Make sure you have the most recent version downloaded!

Uhh.... That is exactly what this explains??? You can't do it with MP3 files, because they don't support it, but you don't need Lua for this. You just fill in the metadata and SMBX will loop the music from the point you specify. It'll play the intro the first time, and then loop back to the marked "...
