nah, could you post the txt file? what boss are you trying to set hits for?
also do you have other codes in the level and do they work?

I dunno if I'd be overstepping my boundaries by doing so though... augh

#3
SetHits,209,3,-40,0,2,0
#END

To my understanding, the "3"s have to do with what section of the level the boss is. (And before people worry about that -40 value, the boss itself is huge and you have a bill launcher. Because normal MB aiming is boring.) I just tested it with having the layer active the whole time, and it still dies in the normal ten hits. My guess is that either the #3 at the top is incorrect or I'm forgetting some tiny thing in the code itself.
I do want to thank everyone for trying to help out with this though!

#3
IfNPC,209,1,0,1000,0,once

#1000
SetHits,209,3,-40,0,2,0
#END

When I face left, it works fine, but when I face right, the Toothy replacement (same size as regular toothy) comes from the middle of the NPC instead of the right side.

In other news, my level is now PROPERLY SUBMITTABLE! But first I want to do some visual touch ups and record a thing. The most important thing ever recorded.

Ultratapir wrote:I'm having slight problems, some bullet bill blasters in my level miraculously disappear sometimes... It doesn't happen everytime i test it, but like every third or fourth time one blaster is just gone. For clarification, they're on a layer that is attached to a moving object, could that be the cause? I'm kind of hoping to fix this because it looks really broken if they disappear.

In Wohl this background(and others) appears just fine, but when trying out my level in SMBX this happens... Uuuh, any tips? This happens to all backgrounds at a certain point in the larger area. Like, I'm guessing the background ''ends'' though I thought this one for example, repeated itself. In Wohl it shows the proper background over the whole section.

This is what happens when a background "ends". It should repeat itself, but it might be that it only repeats a fixed number of times.

Yes. How do?
