The one gripe I have with the Chain Chomps right now is that you can't set a solid block as their spawn point like in the official 2D Mario games, as they will only patrol one side of it if that's the case. Maybe you could fix this by having them ignore the solidity of the block they spawn on? Also they seem to lose a chain when lunging.

[MarioLover64]

You should have the option to make chain chomps break off after a number of lunges, like in smb3

[PROX]

I'm definitely using these!

[1AmPlayer]

Nice, it's finally out. I'm gonna have to mess around with all these now!

Maybe just making the chomp ignore THIS post block with a script where it would be the only npc to be able to go through it?

Some npc id are shared between the chain chomps and spikes making it impossible to use all of them in a same level. I also think than Spike ball and Giant Spike ball should be able to enter clear pipes and act a bit more like Grrrol and Mega Grrrol but anyway you made a pretty good job and here some video if you're looking to make the spike more accurate in the future:

Making them ignore one block would require rewriting their collision system entirely, and do read this for how to have them all in the same level.

[Mushroom King]

Thanks for the link.

[Murphmario]

Well shoot at that response. Guess I'll have to just use NPC Pass-through blocks when I get around to making my episode.

[Yoshi021]

Those screenshots look awesome!

[PROX]

So apparently the spike balls don't kill other npcs. Even the big ones don't.

[MrDoubleA]

Coming soon, plus beta 4 compatibility:

v1.1 is now out!

[Mushroom King]

Tested the spike, the giant balls don't like when we put a line of moving npcs in front of them. I said moving because when they're immobile it's fine, one ball keep rolling and killing them. But put like 11 goombas in a row walking between a Giant Spike and a block and it doesn't go that well. First ball kill some goombas before breaking on one of them, same for the second. At this point only one goomba stand. A third ball is send and... not only it doesn't kill that last goomba or even break, it just BOUNCE back to the Giant Spike, killing him.

Edit: A conversation about spike balls and snowballs behavior in SMM2 if it can help you for a possible update: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioMaker/com ... long_post/

The horizontal Lotuses behave oddly, shooting upwards/downwards instead of left/right, but other than that, the new Lotus NPCs are cool!

I'll fix this soon, but for the time being you can just change "isHorizontal = false," to "isHorizontal = true,".

Already did, but thanks.
