if you use my fake commands plugin for ved then it's as simple as the following

Code: [Select]

:target(10)
changecolour(#,green)
this changes the 10th (0-indexed, so ignore the player) entity in the room to green

VVVVVV Levels / Re: yooooo the 4th level in the series

it was probably made near the end of 2018 when fortnite got popular as this level has a reference to it (the room "Playing fortnite on my PS4")

seems to not include the custom graphics it requires.

looks like you tried to use a command which doesnt exist,

Code: [Select]

kill(player)

with TELEPORTING from scripting which was revolutionary at the time for me and possibly the whole community idk i dont remember when this was made

it's really just gotoroom(), a very well known and very commonly used command, so not revolutionary for the community
when i started making levels (back in 2015) it was still very widely used and documented

now that 2.3 is out i can destroy past me once again

7: Intersection with disappearing platforms

ah, this means disappearing platforms which touch. it might look a bit ugly but it's fine to do.

8: Copied scripts
Edge case, this can be done correctly (see: Detox)

okay, actually i just genuinely don't understand this. copying scripts is fine, as long as they're not 1:1 and can be reused. but copying scripts is something you'll have to use a lot since VVVVVV doesn't really have variable support or anything.

12: Repeating Scripts
Depends on why they're repeating, like changing the player color every time you enter a room is fine

okay, i think i was just being a dick here... the original definitely meant scripts which repeat dialogue. generally you should avoid this, however repeating dialogue is okay if it's in like, a terminal, or a crewmate. though maybe it should be a shortened version of the dialogue after the first time you see it...

19: Making a vertical two-block-wide passageway lined with spikes
Allie (the person who posted this originally) later released Detox which had this

well, i think generally you should avoid this... but in detox it was great.

68(?): Putting way too many enemies down. (This causes lag )
Never heard of slowdown in VVVVVV, but there are entity limits

not in 2.3! those were fixed. i did a stress test, though, and the game barely slows down with thousands of entities. so really, don't worry about this.

131224. INTERNAL SCRIPTS WHICH CRASH THE GAME/SEND YOU TO MENU/DESTROY YOUR SAVE!

heyy, in 2.3 your saves no longer get destroyed in custom levels. ever.
