What's wrong with this code? if memory.readword(0x7E0ADA) == 291 then
If you lose you will be forced to fight Psycrow. If you lose, just shoot him till he's dizzy then whip him.
This was the next thing I was thinking of. I've put some concept function descriptions in the savestate section of the API docs. Tell me what you think. I'll put some sample code up later to help clarify.
Is it possible to make a script that automatically fast-forwards cutscenes, elevators and item pickups in Super Metroid? Is it possible to make a counter that counts how many times a certain memory address has had a certain value? (It could be used as a shot/death/kill/hurt counter for example.)
myFunction = function(address)
snes9x.message("Written: "..address)
end
memory.register(0x7E0521,myFunction)
while true do
snes9x.frameadvance()
endThe inputs will become more random in the next version. It might also be cool to use hard-coded input sets to affect flying and certain glitches from the TASes, but I expect that it will be stuck as a dodo, considering the unlikelihood of Mario grabbing a feather. ;)
Just when I thought this Lua thing couldn't get more awesome, I realized it could be used for botting, and created a rudimentary bot script for SMW. How it works is, it runs to the right while holding Y, and randomly presses B. Brilliant, isn't it?
When Lua execution starts, the emulator will be automatically unpaused if it is currently paused. If so, it will automatically be paused when the script exits
framecount = 0
while (framecount<100) do
data = memory.readword(0x7e005a)
snes9x.message("x_coordinate "..data)
framecount = framecount + 1
snes9x.frameadvance()
end
snes9x.speedmode("maximum")
framecount = 0
while framecount<100 do
framecount = framecount + 1
snes9x.frameadvance()
end
snes9x.speedmode("normal")
I'm unable to reproduce this bug; would you mind uploading or PM-ing me SMVs that you're able to reproduce the bug with?
Haha, impressive (...) rest of the run!
