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

[Ally 🌠]

Uh...
Hello? I was new and already knew internal scripting...?

[shiny]

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

well I practiced internal scripting for years before joining
think of me as a ninja who went to train in the mountains or something

[QwertymanO07]

And hey, my first post is about internal scripting.

[allison]

Yes, it's a thing that has happened, but not an expectation.

[QwertymanO07]

I can see where you're coming from, but with the thread stickied, it is easier than ever to find out about internal scripting.  Either way, we'll find out when Mega Mayo posts again.

1 year later (almost)... Wow, I'm also surprised that this is the 50th reply in the discussion...
Anyways, is there a limit of enemies that you can put in one room?

[cheesefactory]

I don't think so, but there is a limit to how much space there is to put enemies into. I hope you weren't considering a room with 50 enemies though...

[allison]

I know that the game can only render so many entities in gameplay before it crashes

[MJKhoi]

I've seen quite a few user-created levels that use some of the larger enemies, such as the red thing from B-B-B-Busted and Mad Carew's Ghost, any tips on how to find and use them?

[Ally 🌠]

you can use createentity() in certain rooms to create them

createentity is an internal command, so learn internal here: https://glaceon.ca/V/tutorials/#internalif

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

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

and then at this point the conversation degenerated into pure nonsense in typical distractionware fashion

here is something actually helpful. although to disappoint qwerty's such high standards you can only get "press enter to activate terminal". activityzones that say "press enter to talk to <guy>" call hardcoded main game scripts

Code: [Select]

do,32
createcrewman,-21
loop
everybodysad
createactivityzone,#
changemood,cyan,0basically we're overflowing the activity zone id to be the activity zone of the last terminal in the room in the entity order (the last terminal to be placed in the room), and then spawning it. the number for do is 33 minus the amount of entities already in that room (the player counts as one).
