Did you look at some finished castle map in the fangames of the website? You may find good examples there.

Your projects / Re: Ocean's Heart
« on: October 16, 2018, 11:16:27 am »Thanks! I'm not planning on licensing all the graphics, but I am going to release quite a few after I release the game.
Actually, this terminology is wrong. All works have a license, even when you don't choose it (laws nonsensical stuff). The correct is to say that you are not planning to license all as free (as in freedom), but only some of them (the rest would have a non-free license chosen by Max).

Exactly, it is new stuff, and very useful.
This allows you to initialize as many variables as you want from the Editor (or from the scripts), and get or modify their values in your scripts with the corresponding getter/setter functions, all in a very clean way. Customization is the future!

A clean way to do that is to use general events:

Development / Re: Wait, I don't understand how "require" works
« on: October 08, 2018, 02:06:48 am »
As far as I know, requires are usually written at the top of your script, and I recommend to do so (so that others can see the dependencies and avoid errors if some required file is missing). Think on them as "imports", since they are just that.

Have you played Survival Kids from the gbc? (Gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQet3NwtHO4) I played it a little bit and I believe this game might have taken some inspiration from there too, or at least it has some things in common. I never finished it because it was too hard for a casual player like me, though. If you haven't played it, I recommend you to take it a look at it for inspiration and good ideas in your game.

Development / Re: How to filter an entity iterator?
« on: September 24, 2018, 12:24:34 am »
The best way to do that is exactly the way you are doing it:
Always put the stronger condition in the outer built-in iterator, because that one is optimized. (For instance, getting first the custom entities and later the "rectangle overlapping" condition would be slightly slower). In this case you cannot do it with only 1 loop (you need to filter with "if" conditions).
Code: Lua
- for entity in map:get_entities_in_rectangle(x, y, width, height) do
- if entity:get_type() == "custom_entity" and entity:get_model() == "trash" then
- -- blablabla cats meow meow!
- end
- end

Notepad++ is a quite good choice. I use it.
PS: yes, it is not an IDE, I think.

Just to inform people who may be interested in asking questions in the chat: the team has left Gitter and moved to Discord (#solarus chanel). Also recall that we left the Github repos and we are working on Gitlab.

I think that lines 57 and 69 should go inside their timers above. Otherwise, if the enemy is restarted (and therefore all timers stopped), your enemy will break its behavior, as you can check if I'm not wrong. (Even if the hero is frozen, the enemy could be hurt by the boomerang or other thing, and so restarted too.)
