The Enemy Respositorium

[Villager103]

Make a custom enemy that spawns the bullet bills, then place it on the cannon. You can fine-tune the timings, too. Alternatively, you could also use the enemy spawner entity.

edit: new page yay

[Qwerbey]

Nope. You'll need to make a custom launcher using either spawner entities or another custom enemy.

hey friends, hmmm i was asking myself if its any way to make a enemy jump only up, i got this code but i want it just jumps up, is that possible ?

I have no idea how to make a sprite fit in game i tried messing with offset and quadcenter but nothing works

	"autodelete": false

Im trying to make a toad npc that runs around here is the sprite:

Bonus question: how would i make an enemy jump once every few seconds with an jumping sprite?

[craftersshaftstuff]

It might be because because your sprites don't match up with your scaling. if width and height are 1.50 that means it's looking for a 32x32 image per frame.

[Qwerbey]

No, "width" and "height" determine the size of the bounding box, not the quad size. I think your problem is that you have one less spriteset row than you should (or maybe 2 more than you should, and you need "nospritesets").

[frostplays]

Hello people, why does an enemy with flyvertical movement never collide with the ground? I want it to be able to.

Oh, and re @CoolJulianXD, you need four rows of spritesets, not three, like everyone else said - the offset and quadcenter are for in-game rendering. As for jumping, I don't think the sprite part is possible without transforming into another enemy, but periodic jumping may be possible by setting speedY with a custom timer. Check the wiki if you're confused.

Edit: I changed your png for you.

[Qwerbey]

You can also modify "animationstart" with custom timers. I once did that to give my enemies simple idle animations.

[frostplays]

Is there a way to make an enemy render behind tiles?

[Qwerbey]

Make the tiles foreground.

[masterminer176]

I made a sledgebro! It doesn't stomp, it's just a big hammerbro essentially.

Here's the drive folder for the enemies

i have been trying to add tracks as decoration but i cant get it to load correctly and it never works so i thought i would leave it to the experts.


even a little advice is appreciated.

[Britdan]

wow after a lot of confusion and struggle i have it done.

TRACKS FROM MARIO MAKER
[aidanTP is not responsible for tracks that dont hold items like in mario maker]
there just to be used as a decoration. i'm using them for my next mappack so i thought i would post them
download 1 - only the tracks without track variation - e.g []----[] - 8 enemies
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0oib96y91nt7t ... 8.rar?dl=0
download 2 - all tracks includeing variation - e.g []----[] / ()----[] / []----() / ()----() 32 enemies
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8q80d9rzxibji ... 2.rar?dl=0
(sorry for bad names, i will update links in the future)

[Britdan]

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A WAY TO MAKE ALL THE TRACK VARIATIONS WITH ONLY 9 ENEMIES!
IL KEEP YOU POSTED

I get this crash whenever I try to make a goomba that throws goombas yes, I used the above code

Error

JSON.lua:525: JSON.lua:240: expected string's opening quote at char 4 of: {
spawnsenemy = goomba,
spawnenemydelays = {0.2, 0.1, 1},

base = goomba

 spawnsenemy = "goomba",
 spawnenemydelays = {0.2, 0.1, 1},
 spawnenemyspeedx = -15,
 spawnenemyspeedy = -20,
}

darn eastern time... now I have to wait to get an answer

[Qwerbey]

You have incorrect syntax. It should be:

Code: Select all

"spawnsenemy": "goomba",

instead of

Code: Select all

spawnsenemy = "goomba",

[SirBaconIII]

You have incorrect syntax. It should be:

Code: Select all

"spawnsenemy": "goomba",

instead of

Code: Select all

spawnsenemy = "goomba",

Now it doesnt crash but the enemy doesnt appear, but all the other enteties appear in the custom section of the enteties list (but they're unchanged)

[Qwerbey]

If you used my code verbatim, it won't work. You still need the braces to notate the enemy object. Here's the official page on JSON.

[Sky]

Was reminded that I never released these anywhere, so here's the enemies from Super Mario Bros. Special!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/swqts1v6t5em9 ... s.zip?dl=1
Note that this doesn't include any of the powerups, since those either require complicated animations to set up, or are not possible to recreate accurately in Mari0.

[Tecminer]

Unexpected issue here, my enemy falls through solid tiles (not supposed to) and not just straight through but rather stops on every tile and then continues dropping

Code: Select all

{
	"quadcount": 2,

	"animationtype": "frames",
	"animationframes": 2,
	"animationstart": 1,
	"animationspeed": 0.25,
	"stompanimation": false,

	"offsetY": 0,
	"quadcenterX": 8,

}

[Qwerbey]

Width and height must be a mutiple of 0.75.

[Tecminer]

So i can't really make an enemy with a collision box of 1 tile in width and height then?

[MagicPillow]

you can, but collisions will be borked to heck.

[Tecminer]

Has anyone mentioned this in the CE thread yet?

[alesan99]

Has anyone mentioned this in the CE thread yet?

I already pushed out a fix for it. You might be on an old version

[Tecminer]

Downloaded CE 1.4, problem persists

[alesan99]

Downloaded CE 1.4, problem persists

1.4 doesn't have the fix since it was released in November. You'll have to download the files for now until there's an official update.

[Tecminer]

Hadn't realized the löve release wasn't the latest build, that did fix it; thanks

Here is some sprites I made of Pinopi/pionpi for MFGG. how would I be able to get the more 16-bit looking one to function like the original.

I'm not familiar with it, so can you give a run down of what it's supposed to do?

forget this exists

Pinopi.png

No wonder. PInopi appear in the last world of Super Mario Land, known as the Chai kingdom. They hop after Mario. They only move while jumping ( they wait for around a second between hops). After being stomped on they behave like dry bones, getting back up a second or two after being stomped, continuing to hop after Mario

The Super 0'Brothers channel has a video of Pinopi in Mari0, so it's definitely possible

also is there a way of have a projectile be thrown based on Mario's position, like this

projectile infographic.png (3.31 KiB) Viewed 22922 times

[Qwerbey]

For the Pinopi, you should have it throw an intermediary enemy towards the player that transforms back into the main one on floor collide, like a spiny egg. When stomped, it should transform into a unmoving enemy that doesn't collide with the player, then transforms back on a lifetime, just like Alesan's dry bones.

As for your projectile issue, I've had the same problem with Caustic, and I hadn't found a solution.

[Evan.F]

I am done with Pinopi, Now since then I have found the custom enemy properties page on the wiki and have learned some new things about the editor, so now I shall explain some stuff that most enemy packs dont use:

1. There is a true/false (boolean) property called “nofollowspeedup” which Disables the speedup enemies with the movement “follow” not to achieve a speed boost when mario walks past it.

2. There are two barely used movement properties in game. “Jump” is similar to bouncing but intended for the Hammer bro style of jumping and “chase” which is nofollowspeedup on a timer, once again intended for the hammer bro

3. Transforming enemies can be trigged by collistion with walls and ceilings as well as floor, and even by the player showing up.(this transform trigger, which I cant remember the name of, has inspered me to add a new enemy too my mappack... The Stinby from the 3d land/world games.)

4. Custom timers are a really complicated feature used in the diamond entity. I can see the timer be used for making more ambitious entetie such as an actual pinopi, fighter flies, a variety of bosses, etc

5. If you want a platform, categories box and platform (I think the were 4 and 15 respectively) will work.

And this is not all! The wiki has more useful information than the enemy documentation!

[Qwerbey]

Fun Fact: The only reason I listed the diamond enemy was because I had a picture of it on hand. It's one of the simpler uses as well, so that helped.

[Evan.F]

Wait you wrote the custom timer entry?

[Evan.F]

Also what are these other uses you implied...

[Qwerbey]

Yeah, I wrote much of the custom enemy documentation, as pieced together from Trosh and Alesan's prior work. Some of the other properties are really abstract, so they can get complicated fast. I can't think of any proper examples at this time, but maybe there's something from one of my mappacks.

[Evan.F]

I am making a Stingby now and I want to know if you can make a flying enemy wiggle vertically at the same time.
