Can a sword have different variants? For example, variant 2 for a red sword graphic?

Code ( lua) Select Expand

game:set_ability("sword", 2)

Thank you. It works now.

I made a key item. I require the key for opening the door, but I get this error message. The door entity never shows.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

2140] Error: In create_door: bad argument #1 to ? (Bad field 'opening_condition' (equipment item 'key' is not saved))

It is good for small maps. Are you gonna post it?

Here is the exact list of filenames currently hardcoded in the engine: https://github.com/solarus-games/solarus/blob/dev/work/data_files.txt

Is there a list of hardcoded animation names?

I know "walking" and "stopped" are some hardcoded keywords.

@Diarandor
Oh, I have only seen it referred to as the hit box. A lot of people want the ability to resize it, but I wanted to just know the size. The bounding box is 16x16. Thank you Diarandor!

What is the size of the hit box?

Thank you Zefk! It works now.

Basically the sol.surface font text is equal to test for displaying words test1,2,3,4, etc. I am trying to overwrite the first 0-7 tests.

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local test = {}
local testing

test[0] = "test1"
test[1] = "test2"
test[2] = "test3"
test[3] = "test4"
test[4] = "test5"
test[5] = "test6"
test[6] = "test7"
test[7] = "test8"

for i = 0,7 do
     show_test[rep] = sol.text_surface.create({
      text = test[i],
    })
end

function sol.main:on_draw(screen)

--clear and overwrite
test = {}

if testing == true then
test[0] = "test_overwrite1"
test[1] = "test_overwrite2"
test[2] = "test_overwrite3"
test[3] = "test_overwrite4"
test[4] = "test_overwrite5"
test[5] = "test_overwrite6"
test[6] = "test_overwrite7"
test[7] = "test_overwrite8"
end

for i = 0,7 do
    show_text[i]:draw(screen,x_test_pos,y_test_pos[i])
  end
end

end

file:write("Hello World")

Can I write the value of a variable?

For example,

Code ( lua) Select Expand

local coordinate_x = 50
local coordinate_y = 40
file:write("x:",coordinate_x, "y:", coordinate_y)

[txt file:]

Hello,

I want to print a string to a text file.

For example,

Code ( lua) Select Expand

print("hello world")

txt file:
1 hello world

You can do shorter

Code (lua) Select Expand


for i = 1, whatever_you_want do
  if i < 15 then
   -- calculation
  elseif i < 30 then
    -- other calculation
  elseif i < 45
   -- Again
  end
end



This works. Thank you MetalZelda. 

Is it possible to do this in a shorter way?

Code ( lua) Select Expand

for rep = 1, 15 do
--blah different coordinate calculations
for rep = 15, 30 do
   --blah different different coordinates calculations
  for rep = 30,45 do
   --blah different coordinates calculations
   for rep = etc....... do
    --blah different coordinates calculations
   end
  end
end
end


My first thought was to use arrays. Will this work? If yes, how would I have starter begin 0 and ender begin at 15?

Code ( lua) Select Expand

for 1,15 do

it would end up being:
15,30
30,45
45,60
etc

Code ( lua) Select Expand


local starter={}
local ender ={}

for rep 1,15 do
starter[rep] = 0
ender[rep] = 0
end

for reprep = 1,15 do
starter[reprep]=starter[reprep] +15
ending[reprep] = starter[reprep] +15
for rep = starter[reprep], ending[reprep] do
--blah different coordinates calculations arrays
end
end


This is unrelated to Solarus. Has anyone got a gb(secret of mana currency) glitch in the game? I noticed it does not add up correctly and the same glitch happens during item purchase.
