[Luke1337Lucky]

How do i make the blue message box not in the game ?

[MarioBros125253v1337]

I was wondering how to make it to where you hit an "invisible" block and having a message blip in out of thin air (like the one level in the invasion 2 when you go into that one guys lawn after you jump over the bullet ill launcher i have tried too look at what they did but i cant figure it out any idea or some help?

It's a really cool demonstration. I have the Super Mariuo Bros. X 1.3 and this is really cool to made. I have a level that has a message box.

[kuno86]

how can i trigger events on death of enemy-group or bosses ?

[telinc1]

@kuno86 I can tell you only for bosses, and if you have version 3 and higher, because it`s have some desighn changes.. First you make the event. Then remove the boss.(Ff you have placed it on the level.) Then select it again. Now click Events on the NPCs window.(At the upper-right corner). Now where it says "Death", choose your event. Now, don`t close the events window. And now, the last thing, you need to do, is to place you NPC. Hope I helped.

I have a question how do you make goombas come out of a pipe

[cyberman1011]

I have a problem. I am trying to make a thing where you get to talk to people like Toad and stuff, but I don't know how to do it. Help!

PLZ ANSWER

[hoemmario]

Piece of cake:

Click on the NPC you wan't to talk, afterwards write a message in the box with some text about making someone talk. Click "Friendly" button. Finally place the NPC

[cyberman1011]

What do you mean about the friendly button? How do you it?

[hoemmario]

To the left in the NPC section there is a button with the text "Friendly", click it.

[Pherioxus]

@cyberman1011 It's like the same as the message box :-)

You choose a sound of how you like to sound when the message opens.

Then you click on ''message'' type in of what you want your NPC to say.

Then you click ''test'' next to the message.

If this is not specific enough, you can PM me so i can make it more specific.

[hoemmario]

@abbef2

1. Click world settings

2. write in world name

3. save, but dont close the window (This bug might have been fixed)

4. Wait for it to save

5. Done.

[abbef2]

how do i make toad talk???

[hoemmario]

Choose the toad (don't place him yet)

Write a message in the box where it says: Write message here.

Place him.

Easy enough

[szlane]

Also, Do you know how to make like a star come out of a boss when you beat it?

[hoemmario]

Yes, but please search for it on the forum (in start of video).

[szlane]

What forum?

[hoemmario]

supermariobrothers[dot]org/for­ums

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

Thanks for the Tut! But is there a way to make it where it is there at the start like in the toad house in SMB3 where it says "Chose a Box. It will help you on your way."?

[hoemmario]

Yes, go to the event "level start" and write the message.

[monkeytricks70]

Do you work for them I've seen your videos before

[hoemmario]

Yes, if you go to the forum, search for the moderator Mario.

I am a moderator on the forum and a beta tester and level designer for SMBX.

I work for them.
