http://engine.wohlnet.ru/pgewiki/Player_%28class%2 has Player.pauseKeyPressing

True, if the player is pressing the pause key. Can be overwritten with the Event onInputUpdate, to lock or reverse controls (LunaLua ≥v0.7)

How To: Overwrite or lock player input

Code: Select all

function onInputUpdate()
   if(player.pauseKeyPressing) then
       player.pauseKeyPressing  = false;
   end
end

This should do it. (not tested)

Doesn't sound replacement work the same way as with sprites? Can't you put a silent sound file with the same name as the P-switch sound file into your level folder?

The P-switch jingle is music, not a sound.

You can use:

Code: Select all

function onEvent(eventName)
  if eventName == "P Switch - Start" then
    Audio.MusicStop();
  end
end

So when you hit a P-switch, the music is immediately stopped, and is completely silent for the duration.
But this is probably not exactly what you want, because with this, you have no idea how long the P-switch effect actually lasts.

Yeah, it's definitely what I want. I'd like the level music to continue uninterrupted, with a sound effect playing overtop.

1) I've given it a try disabling the pause menu but no real luck thus far. I'll look further into it some time. Worst case, I'll have to modify LunaDLL to add some extra functionality for control of allowing/disallowing pausing, since my initial attempt of blocking the control input failed.
2) How does disallowing the player from entering the pause menu help "A World 1 Level" from Ep 1? I don't recall that level or what's wrong with it.

SAJewers wrote:EDIT: Also, Is it possible to have no P-Switch music, like in ASMT/A2MT?

I'm unaware of what was done in ASMT/A2MT for no P-Switch music (was it just have no music file or a silent music file?), but any reason the same can't be done?

I'm now however thinking that in the next few days I may look into adding a "p-switch settings" thing to LunaLua, so various things about p-switches could be set from Lua, which would be via the lunaworld.lua file for making something episode-wide. Might think about making it so in addition to silent or not, maybe allowing the duration to be changed by Lua code (not super relevant to A2XT stuff at the episode level but maybe some level creators would find it handy)

I have a way: music will not be overwritten by others while you have seized music stream:

Code: Select all

Audio.SeizeStream(int sectionID)
-- Seizing control of music stream from SMBX Engine for specific section ID (from 0 to 20. If -1, then will be seized music stream for all sections).

If section has been seized, SMBX Engine will be not able control music engine while player inside current section, so, is possible to manipulate with music via lua code with no bugs
I wasn't tried that with P-Switches, but must work

the P-switch thingy in ASMT was an ASM patch that replaced the P-switch music with a ticking sound effect that played over the level music. Here's an example from raocow's ASMT LP, or a TAS of that level if you don't want commentary. I can easily grab that sound effect.

EDIT: If it's any use to you, here's the ASMT resources pack, which includes the ASM patch for the ticking p-switch (\patches\ticking.asm)

As for "A World 1 Level", the main part the level uses events that sync up with the music. Pausing the game causes the events to stop until you unpause, which causes the music and the events to desync.

Any Luck with this?

Also, while I'm posting, is it possible to increase the Demo counter in Lua?

Red and me is working on that.

Horikawa made a demo counter in lua, might ask her.

Posted: **05 Sep 2015, 20:24**

I don't mean creating the Demo Counter again (I think someone is looking after that), I mean adding a Demo to the counter upon a certain event happening.

In the lua based one, definitely.

Oh, good.

This will probably make my Fairy/Angel Girl level idea much less annoying.

Posted: **06 Sep 2015, 01:05**

OK, how do I make the player always be a fairy? Using this in an onLoop doesn't seem to work:

Code: Select all

	if (player:mem(0x0C, FIELD_WORD) == 0x0) then
		player:mem(0x0C, FIELD_WORD, 0xFFFFFF);

	end

Posted: **06 Sep 2015, 15:01**

Nevermind, this works:

Code: Select all

Ship = {}
Ship.npc = nil;
Ship.timer = 20
function Ship:onLoop()
	if (player:mem(0x0C, FIELD_WORD) == 0x0) then
		if (Ship.timer == 0) then
			Ship.npc = spawnNPC(254, player.x, player.y, 1)
			Ship.timer = 20
		else
			Ship.timer = Ship.timer - 1
		end

	end

end

OK, now How Do I use Warp.get and Warp.EnteranceX/Warp.enteranceY to get the coords of a warp, and teleport the player to there?

EDIT: To be clear, What I'm looking for is to reposition the player in an autoscroll section. I figure the best way to do that is to have a Warp, moving with the autoscroll. The problem is, I can't figure out how to retrieve the coordinates of that warp.

Nevermind, I got it to work somehow.

How can I hide the hud for my level? I'm having hard time getting anything to work on the A2XT devkit.

Thank you. I was remembering there was a code for that somewhere.

Edit: It did not work. I wonder if the devkit is on the way somehow. I tried it as an episode too, and that did not help.

Does this not work?: Graphics.activateHud(false)

I tried that, and "hud (false)" since I saw someone use that on a level too.
Neither of them caused an error, or removed the hud.

Posted: **13 Sep 2015, 14:11**

Code: Select all

hud(false);

Should work, as I use it for my overhaul API.

using lunalua, is it possible to make it so Mario constantly fires bullet bills like he's holding a billy gun? i tried this code but the bullets it spawns don't move:

Code: Select all

direct = 1;
timer = 0;
function onLoopSection1()
	if (player.speedX > 0) then
		direct = 1;
	end
	if (player.speedX < 0) then
		direct = -1;
	end
	timer = timer+1;
	if (timer==15) then
		timer = 0;
		local bill = NPC.spawn(17, player.x+direct*32,player.y,1);
		bill.speedX = player.speedX+direct*4;
	end
	player:mem(0x16E, FIELD_WORD, -1)
end

Posted: **13 Sep 2015, 16:02**

I skimmed your code and, sadly, from my previous experimentation, you cannot modify the speed value of a bullet bill. That might be a reason why they aren't moving.

Posted: **13 Sep 2015, 16:37**

I tried your code, and looking at differences between a normal Bullet Bill and Billygun Bullet Bills (in their memory), but also couldn't find a way to change the speed.

Instead of speed, you could try to manually move them by 8 pixels (the speed they have when shot out of a billy gun) every tick in the direction the bullet bill is currently facing. (also, set "collides with NPCs" to -1)

Posted: **13 Sep 2015, 17:38**

OK, nevermind, i fixed it by making them resprited fireballs instead of bullet bills
