Last post by PrincessQuest4 - October 03, 2023, 06:52:37 PMIs there a way to add sound to the walking animation. Also is there a way to delay the sword attack so the attack is not rapid sword slashing.

Last post by wuckertrhea - August 24, 2023, 11:29:24 AMCould you provide us an illustration of how this works, please? This file would be perfect for my Full Hyrule entities pack, which features eight unique dash rock variations.
How about making this script a "Lift Level Required" obstruction, similar to the big rocks in LttP?

Last post by hzamoracon - June 25, 2023, 12:31:19 PMTried to do the same with a Legend of Mana image, separated it into tiles and giving the terrain features (traversable, wall, water, etc), then pasted the tiles in order on the map and everything looks fine, I didn't think it was so easy!
It had been a long time since I played an rpg creator and solarus always caught my attention as it was focused on ActionRPG, This is awesome!
I didn't know that the LoM backgrounds were also placed with tiles, thank you very much for the answer and also for the extra resources.

Yes, of course you can use full images as a background: all you need is a second set of invisible tiles that have all the basic terrain grounds, that you overlay on the desired borders. By the way, LoM actually uses tiles, but with many, many more base elements than the 2D Zelda games.
edit : while unrelated to the base question, here is the page for LoM on the Spriters resource site, especially the "background" section which is showing the maps and their different layers :https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation/lom/

Development / Image/Ilustration as backgroun...
Last post by hzamoracon - June 24, 2023, 01:10:15 PMHello, new here.
I was wondering if it is possible to place an image as the background instead of working with tiles, and just put collisions to guide the movement of the character. Something like Legend of Mana for ps1?
I would just like to make illustrations on a working video game as a demo.
I have tried with rpgmaker but I would like to avoid implementing the action-RPG part and would like to try with solarus.
Is there a possibility, any ideas?
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum.

The error message says that it can't find the "hero" entity.
The reason is that you never asked the engine to give it to you in the first place.
Since you intend to make some generic behavior for the hero -hero_meta-, you should use the hero's metatable (using sol.main.get_metatable), and then define what you need here. it works the same as using the hero directly, but more like a model, so multiples heroes will get the same behavior.
If you know the concept of object-oriented programming, then think of modifying the class instead of the instances.
Thank you. This is very helpful.
I am familiar with object-oriented programming; I am a little rusty at using it since I haven't practiced using it in a few years, but I remember all the fundamental concepts.

Development / What does this error mean?
Last post by lefthandedhero - June 01, 2023, 02:39:32 AMRecently, I created a script specifically for code related to the hero, that I called hero_meta. Here is the code that's currently in this script:
The purpose of this code is to establish a maximum distance away from the hero and create a table storing the hero's prior movements within that distance.
When I try to run the quest, I keep getting this error:
What does this error mean? Any idea what is causing it to occur?
Code Select
local MAX_BUFFER_SIZE = 48
function hero:on_position_changed(x,y,z)
local hero = self
if not hero.position_buffer then hero.position_buffer = {} end
local hero = self
local dir = hero:get_sprite():get_direction()
table.insert(hero.position_buffer, 1, {x=x, y=y, layer=z, direction=dir})
if #hero.position_buffer > MAX_BUFFER_SIZE then
table.remove(hero.position_buffer)
end
end
