Your projects / Re: Minish Cap Maps in Solarus

« Last post by Max on July 20, 2022, 02:07:09 AM »

Looks really cool! Nice work : )

Most people don't post here that often haha, so you're in good company. Almost all Solarus activity is on the discord. Although there's probably some usefulness to having forums, since they work as searchable archives of scripts and stuff that are posted.

I don't think you'll be able to use the tilesets for animated water, if they still are like they were when I last looked at them. You'll probably need to set up new water yourself. Maybe check the Spriter's Resource for tiles? Something I've done at times is looked at Youtube videos of Minish Cap, paused them, and stepped through from by frame (usng the < and > keys) to check each frame of an animation. Maybe you can recreate Minish Cap's tiles that way. Good luck!

Hi! The forum get some suspicious spam posts sometimes and this looks a lot like one! Sorry if it's not.

However, you ought to explain more what your link is pointed to and what you want feedback about.

Hi.

I've recently finished some work of mine and I thought some of you might be interested in.
AFAIC, I would appreciate feedbacks: understandability and/or prior existence of the technique, optimisations for weight at run time within the Solarus engine, incorrect spelling ...

Enjoy ! ;–)

Development / How to buy items

« Last post by CopperKatana on June 13, 2022, 02:02:59 AM »

Hello, I am trying to program a shop in my game. But I think I'm not quite understanding  how to implement buying things. I watched the official tutorial on Shops and there was a dialog called _shops.question, which says something like:

Price is $v rupees.
$? Buy
$? Don't Buy

And the engine should fill in the item's price in the $v part, and recognize the "Buy/Don't Buy" part as selectable options. While the price of the item is properly displayed in my game, these options are just displayed as text with the $? symbols. The engine does not recognize them as choices.
How can I make it so that these are choices, and how do I control what effect each choice has?

Bugs & Feature requests / Re: Problems with "get_facing_entity()" being a one time use?

« Last post by Argeus on June 01, 2022, 03:16:12 AM »

Hopefully that helps if you haven't already fixed it. 

Nope, I never fixed it.  I've been addressing other aspects of the project while waiting for potential feedback/input about this.

Anyway, I've found a workaround that will hopefully do what you want:

Change the line:

Code: [Select]

function jumper_found():to

Code: [Select]

function jumper_found(self, object):
self will be the custom_entity, and object will be the same as your object variable - you won't need to assign it, just delete the 'object = get_facing_entity()' line.

I worked this out from reading the docs on set_can_traverse, it mentions that the function you assign can take 2 parameters, the entity and the one you're colliding with.

Hopefully that helps if you haven't already fixed it. 

Thanks for the workaround!  This method seems to be working.  I will know for sure once I start adding other interactions for other entity types using a similar method.

Hopefully you've fixed this already, but I've had a look and I'm getting the same problem with get_facing_entity just returning the same entity each time.

I'm just a beginner with Solarus but it definitely looks like a bug?

However, when my custom entity collides with a chest, my function isn't triggering, only jumpers - so that might be a problem with part of your code that isn't shown.

You might want to post the problem with get_facing_entity on the gitlab as an Issue, I don't expect that to happen.
