I'm trying to make a rush-style level where you have to complete the level quickly or else die, either by time or some other factor. Got any ideas on how to implement something like this? I'm terrible at trying to understand how to make events.

Create a new layer, and put a bunch of lava on it. Then use the "Layer Movement" option in Events to make the lava layer move.

framestyle=0 - acts like a goomba, means, both left and right movement use the same sprite.

framestyle=1 - the NPC have sprites for both left and right, the first half of the sprite sheet is for left movement, the later half is for the right movement.

framestyle=2 - NPC has both left and right movement, and upside down movement for when the NPC is grabbed (such as the SMB2 enemies).

Hopefully that helps.

Can you make boos slower? I ask because I think what I need to do to make murder death place zone a little more doable is to slow down the boo driving the 'net' a tiny little bit. I know there's a thing using .txt to make goombas and whatnot walk slower/faster but does it work with boos?

The thing to watch out for with the "speed" flag is that some countries use periods for decimals and others use commas. So it is best to avoid them as much as possible since a lot of people from many different countries play smbx.

Using periods in "comma countries" will cause the npcs to go much faster than you want them to.

Correction. Using periods in "comma countries" will give them a runtime error and crash the game on the level loading.

The thing to keep in mind is that Redigit seems to think speed is only horizontal movement. Thus, altering the speed flag will only alter horizontal movement of an NPC. The vertical speed will remain the same.

Actually what the engine does if it doesn't recognize the period/comma is pretend it isn't there. So 1.5 becomes 15 etc. Sometimes this can cause a runtime error and sometimes it just makes the npc much faster than intended.

When using a custom background, does it have to be the same dimensions of the 'original' background it replaces? I assumed as such when making mdpz, but it's not something I know for sure.

Is there a way to stop this?
