Bubble + boomerang = fairy?

[YoshiMario2000]

Is it possible to trow a boomerang at a bubble and get a fairy?

[Diarandor]

Yes. It is possible to make almost anything if you know how to code it (but not easy).

To do what you want, I would use a custom entity for the bubble. You can use a collision test on the bubble script to detect the collision with the boomerang. (I have done something similar to make trees that throw leaves when hit with the sword, and it works.) You can use something like this:

Code Select Expand


entity:add_collision_test("sprite", function(entity, other_entity, sprite, other_sprite)
  if other_sprite:get_animation() ~= "boomerang" then return end
  -- Here goes your code...
end

It is even possible to keep the bubble as a normal enemy.
Define the enemy:on_hurt(attack) event on bubble, and if attack == "boomerang", call enemy:set_treasure("fairy").

After that I think we would want to remove the bubble.

If you have played link's awakening, or the oracle games,
Trowing a boomerang at a bubble will cause it to "transform" into a fairy.
That's probably why the are called anti-fairys.

That's right!

Code Select Expand


function enemy:on_hurt(attack)
  if attack == "boomerang" then
    local layer, x, y = enemy:get_position()
    map:create_pickable({
      layer = layer,
      x = x,
      y = y,
      treasure_name = "fairy"
    })
    enemy:remove()
  end
end

But, This works beater, at least, for me anyways.

Code Select Expand


function enemy:on_created()
  self:set_life(1)
  self:create_sprite("enemies/bubble")
  self:set_size(8, 8)
  self:set_origin(4, 4)
  self:set_can_hurt_hero_running(true)
  self:set_attack_consequence("sword", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("hookshot", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("arrow", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("fire", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("explosion", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("thrown_item", "ignored")
  self:set_attack_consequence("boomerang", 10)
  self:set_treasure("fairy")
end


You're result Gave some useless and humorous results. The bubble could be hit,
It just couldn't be killed. even by boomerang.
