gonna be very mildly upset if someone's done this already cause i couldn't find it anywhere
peer inside for a clue: show

the moving hole from smw ghost houses. place it down and use left/right redirector bgos to control the boundaries of its movement.

features of note
  • unhides hidden blocks even if it wasn't the one to hide them
  • does not hide sizeables or blocks which it cannot fully envelop vertically (you can change its height to accommodate for the latter)
  • blocks fully obscured by a pit are not affected by most block-manipulating npcs such as p-switches and snake blocks which may lead to some strange situations
  • blocks immediately to the right of the pit which have graphics that don't take up their entire collision box or have semi-transparent graphics will exhibit minor visual distortions
jank interactions that kinda work but also kinda don't
  • blocks that hurt the player from the side might not work properly if partially obscured by a pit
  • slopes do get obscured by pits as expected, but this absolutely annihilates smbx's slope physics so please handle with care
  • some npcs which require blocks to function may interact with pits in strange ways
  • settings a pit's "speed" config to something very high and enabling horizontal wrap may cause unexpected things to happen
  • multiple holes crossing paths will lead to them fighting over which blocks are hidden. this doesn't cause anything particularly bad to happen but some blocks might appear/disappear early/late.
  • (probably other minor things i missed)

Sorry to burst your bubble deice...

But Core has this in her NPC Pack.

However, your one is actually diferent in the sense that it doesn't have a black bar on it.

i didn't count that one because she's removed it in newer versions of the pack - understandably, as it caused the game to lag horribly and had several collision-related issues as well. (also, might be a nitpick but that one requires layer movement in order to actually move which makes it quite unwieldy)

Wait, what? I didn't know that. Okay then, you did good :D

I don't remember another instance of this npc but since Core's one is out, this one causes to stay! :D

Nice one!
