I have managed to edit GHZ's boss. As you all know, when Robotnik spawns, he goes to the left and behaves normally. I changed his ASM code to make him go right and offscreen. The only problem is that his sprite still faces to the left while going right. Is there a way to flip Robotnik's sprite during the "cutscene"? Here is a screenshot that represents what I'm talking about.
I always wanted to make a boss like in the advance series: Eggman go to the right at high speed and sonic have to run to hurt eggman, with the bakcground and foreground withan endless scroll, and when we beat eggman, make the prison capsule apears. I'm really sure, it's easy to do, but i'm still nt capable of it. This thread helped me to understand a little more how to do it.
I've found these parts of code. Code: BGHZ_ShipMain: ; Routine 2 moveq #0,d0 move.b ob2ndRout(a0),d0 move.w BGHZ_ShipIndex(pc,d0.w),d1 jsr BGHZ_ShipIndex(pc,d1.w) lea (Ani_Eggman).l,a1 jsr (AnimateSprite).l move.b obStatus(a0),d0 andi.b #3,d0 andi.b #$FC,obRender(a0) or.b d0,obRender(a0) jmp (DisplaySprite).l Code: loc_177E6: move.b $3F(a0),d0 jsr (CalcSine).l asr.w #6,d0 add.w $38(a0),d0 move.w d0,obY(a0) move.w $30(a0),obX(a0) addq.b #2,$3F(a0) cmpi.b #8,ob2ndRout(a0) bcc.s locret_1784A tst.b obStatus(a0) bmi.s loc_1784C tst.b obColType(a0) bne.s locret_1784A tst.b $3E(a0) bne.s BGHZ_ShipFlash move.b #$20,$3E(a0) ; set number of times for ship to flash sfx sfx_HitBoss,0,0,0 ; play boss damage sound Should I edit one of the two "obStatus" I've found or should I search somewhere else? I've already tried doing this, and what I've got was... not the best looking thing. Probably I didn't understand what you've meant with "Object status table". Also I'm using the GitHub disassembly
If you don't understand what I meant by object status table, then you are currently attempting something out of your depth, as this table contains all of the necessary variables for basic object function. Head on over to http://info.sonicretro.org and read up on the variables used within object programming in the community hacking guide, and the use of RAM variables in general. I don't believe that by giving you a direct answer will help you in the long run, as this is something you need to learn and understand or you'll only end up coming back with a he'll of a lot more questions.
Right now, I can't really tell you how much I would like to thank you. Thanks to what I've learned, I managed to find an alternative way. Instead of doing what you've asked me to, I've added a line that flips Robotnik at a certain point in the cutscene. Doing so, it came out just like in my imagination. Now, this fix got me another problem. I now have to guess his X/Y position. Is there a way to let the game check only his X position? This would make my life easier. (I've tried doing something myself, but I failed) Again, thank you for helping me. Really.
Once again, the information you need is in the link I provided. Rather than playing guess work with the code, use the link I provided and look at the code and you will be able to work out what each line is doing, and therefore know how to manipulate the code to your liking.
