A quick question

Sometimes I try putting a press somewhere and it becomes unable to kill me and any bullets I fire at it go straight through, though I can still stand on it. It's on the correct NPC set (red) so I don't know what's wrong. Can this be fixed?

 

Can you post a screen shot of the positioning?
It could be that it's not oriented correctly.

 

Make sure that flag 2000(the flag that lets you talk to npcs) isnt set on the press. From my experience it makes the npc both immune to bullets and makes it impossible for it to hurt you.

 

There could be an event running.
It's impossible to take damage while an event is running

 

Not true, it's impossible to take damage while an event is running and either <PRI or <KEY was used earlier in the event (using <FRE makes it once again possible to take damage).

 

Ah, flag 2000 was set. Working perfectly now!

 

Not true, it's impossible to take damage while an event is running and either <PRI or <KEY was used earlier in the event (using <FRE makes it once again possible to take damage).

Wrong. <PRI or <KEY does not have to be used earlier in the event. As long as the event has some runtime (like a <WAI or a <NOD) it will make you invincible to all entities. <FRE will not make you vulnerable again, you will only be taking damage once the script has finished running (it reaches an <END). However it should be noted that this only applies to entities, and that you can always take damage from map tileset spikes.

If you disagree, please test it yourself.

 

why doesn't anyone look at the stickies? this belongs in QUICK MODDING/HACKING ANSWERS. yeesh.

 

Whoops. Well, as long as this is here, how do you do a 'when all enemies are dead' event?

 

set flag 200 on teh npc

 

Thanks. Also, what sprite is the 'sue on computer' sprite?

edit: Oh wait, got it. Sprite 92.
