VVVVVV Level Editor Tutorial - Part 2: Entities and Room Settings

[Chillius]

Eagerly awaiting scripting tutorial... My entire level depends on scripts and I've no idea how to use them :|

Brief tutorial.

say= terminal
reply= Viridian

say(1)
Hello.

reply(1)
This is an example.

That is simple "say and reply" commands.

delay(X)
Replace X with a number, preferably above 10. Paused for a second or so.

music(X)
Changes the music. Replace X with a number between 1-11 (0 for silence.)

sad and happy commands change Viridian's face.

Happy(X) Replace the (X) with a colour like Pink or You can type Violet or whatever. then go to your crewmate and it will be happy
same thing with sad(X)

Wow.  I thought VVVVVV's level editor had a glitch. I learned something new. Instead if doing: say(1) test. I'm supposed to do:
 say(1)
Test.

Nice and detailed! I like this tutorial Can't wait for part three. I wanted to wait till scripting was thoroughly covered to start messing with it. I'm having fun with this level editor so far

If you see something in underline, it means that it only works with 2.1.

X is a number, c is a color (giving arguments: cyan (), purple and pink (), blue (), red (), yellow () and green () (There is none for gray) and s is a script name.
say(x) - Create a text box with x lines. Text below the command will be the text.
say(x,c) - Create a text box over crewmate c with x lines, and color c. Text below the command will be the text.
say - Create a text box with 1 line. Text below the command will be the text.
reply(x) - Create a text box over with x lines. This acts in the same way as say(x), only with the player's text box.
reply - Create a text box over with x lines. This acts in the same way as say(x), only with the player's text box.

In 2.0, with say(x), say(x,c) and reply(x), you can have up to 5 lines. In 2.1 you can have 11.

music(x) - Play song x. The numbers are the same as in the main menu, and 0 for silence.
flash - Make the screen flash
happy - Makes happy
sad - Makes sad
happy(c) - Makes crewmate c happy
sad(c) - Makes crewmate c sad
destroy(warptokens) - Destroy all warp tokens on the screen.
destroy(gravitylines) - Destroy all gravity lines on the screen. (It won't always work)
flag(x,on) Turns flag x on. There are flags 0-66 and 68-99.
flag(x,off) Turns flag x off.
ifflag(x,s) If flag x is on, go to script s.
iftrinkets(x,s) If you have at least x trinkets, go to script s.
map(on) - Turns the map on
map(off) - Turns the map off
squeak(c) - Makes a crewmate squeak
squeak(on) - Turns crewmate squeaking on
squeak(off) - Turns crewmate squeaking off

That's all I know for now! Hope that helped!

P.S. There is no flag 67.

Technically there is, but using it messes stuff up.

5 - Checkpoints: Checkpoints have two orientations - on the floor, or on the celling. Click on them when they're placed to switch between them. When testing a map, you can press ENTER to spawn at the closest checkpoint.

False. You spawn at the earliest placed one.

You spawn at the checkpoint in the room 

IF  there is, perchance, TWO checkpoints, then

You spawn at the earliest placed one.

Would there be any way in the future to change terminals into speaking crewmates?

There's a scripting exploit to do that.

you already can

What do you mean

[QwertymanO07]

I'm guessing they mean like "Press ENTER to talk to Vitellary", because anything else would be stupid.

Jesus christ they're a new member you can't expect them to know about internal scripting right off the bat
