Perfect SMBX Screenshot Thread 10

Is showing a layer with Layer.get("myLayer"):show() not easier to use here, if you put the NPCs in a layer?

I don't use a layer for NPCs because I only need a single line of code to make a NPC spawn. If I use a layer, I need to place them in the editor and then NPCs would not spawn after I killed them.

The code seems to be for different sections and not individual Camera Zones. This will make my Metroid episode easier to deal with once the Samus playable is done, more resources, so yay.You are inspirational. Not sure if this should be in PMs or here since we are technically still talking about your last screenshot.

The fourth parameter of the NPC.spawn() indicates the section where the NPC spawns, it has nothing to do with camera zones. I recommend to test it on different LunaLua events like OnStart() to see if it works well. Other recommendation: Beware of the coords you put a NPC! They can glitch through blocks. That happens to me with zoomers mainly.
The problem I'm getting is that I can't make working lifts.

I mean, because I use camera Zones (thus no section warp pipes), I make the entire level.lvl in a single section.

I had that idea too. The camlock API is great for Super Metroid levels, but the main problem here are the backgrounds and music. For example, in a Brinstar level you have the green Brinstar, the old Brinstar and the deserted Brinstar. All of them with different music and backgrounds. I thought on make sections closer by resizing them and place them one beside another. With PGE this is easy. I found that case in the level 49 of The Invasion 1, where there is a battle arena below the room you encounter with Bowser. That was an entirely another section.

Edit: I was talking about this technique:

Spoiler: show

If you add camzones to all your sections with a smooth transition, the effect is done nicely. Sadly I can't put all the areas togheter because of the lava going off-screen in various sections.

You should see one of my old metroid styled levels. It is a bit of a night mare due to some bad lua, but the map worked perfectly becuase I had to move all 21 sections next to each other. I will see if I still have the picture of the level. (It is not metroid graphics, but still)

Spoiler: show

As you can see by the picture, this was done by moving the sections next to each other back in 2016.


Here is an ingame screenshot

That is a great and interesting use of Switch Blocks. That does make my day.

How did you create the cohesive switch blocks?

That can be done with 4 layers and four events with them set to toggle.

That was the thing I'm talking about! I did the same to my level yesterday, but the lava flowing don't let me put another section below it (otherwise if you enter to it you'll have lava moving above you haha). Another time perhaps.

Ok where the hell did you get that graphic because that is god damn beautiful.

[xDestroy]

I recommend you makes the green outline when the green huge block isint on there more lighter, because the outline seems to blend to much into the background

lol i made it

^ The_Loaf_Lord: it's not just one graphic, he changed several blocks to these polygones. :P

Freaking awesome.

I remember doing that back before PGE existed as well. If I had more Metroid Graphics, I would try to make a legit metroid level.

Question: how did you get the snake blocks?

[Great_Papyrus123]

I think she/he did it by luna lua..

But there is an old map in Return to Dinosaur Island by Valtteri back in 2014, and there's no LUA back then. I think it's possible without LUA.

Really ugly to do with layers and events. 100% sure this is using the new Beta4 snake blocks

But, how? Does Aristo has the new Beta 4?

How else would Aristo be using Beta4's snake blocks
