Oh, you're making a increase walking speed kinda dash instead? OK. But if you want something akin to rolling in Minish Cap the link is here: https://forum.solarus-games.org/en/index.php/topic,1161.msg6851.html#msg6851

There's a built in run function similar to the Zelda series. Just call 'game:set_ability("run", 1)' to enable running similar to that by holding the Action Button. If you want it on an item or something else, I believe it's 'hero:start_running()'.

Thanks for the solutions. I'll try resizing through scripts and if that doesn't work, I'll try the custom entity method instead.

Please add the ability to resize Stream entities, unless there is a way to do it already that I have missed.

General discussion / Re: General Lua and game coding advice?

« on: October 25, 2021, 11:57:00 AM »

I found Solarus to be pretty easy to use. The engine handles basic stuff like movement and sprite rendering, so replicating ALTTP will be the easy part.

As for a battle system, I've experimented with making one. Its relatively easy stuff. I recommend reading the API docs though: https://solarus-games.org/doc/latest/index.html

There are also resource packs with built in scripts for dialog and such on the main site: https://solarus-games.org/en/development/resource-packs

Good luck with your Romancing Final Secret to the Past of Evermore Legend project.

Development / Re: how do you activate a function when all the enemies on a map are killed

« on: October 08, 2021, 09:13:12 AM »

Its enemy:on_dead(), not enemy:on_killed().

Also, a for loop would be most effective actually.

sol.timer.start(map, 500, function()
  if not map:has_entities([enemy_name]) then
    [door_name]:open()
    [chest_name]:set_enabled()
  end
return true
end)


remember to name the entities in the actual map, not just the breed
should be smth like this: enemy_1, enemy_2, etc.

also chest should be set as not enabled whether through script or declared in map file
