I'm not sure if this is the right subforum, but itapears to be the closest, so, any way, here it is. After you get a powerup at a toad house, hold down x, and after you've been holding it long enough, it registeres that you're pressing x before it registers that it's supposed to be gone, and you can re-enter and max out your map item bar. Just thought it could be useful to y'all :).

Yeah, I've seen it before, although it most games there's little point in exploiting it. Hello isn't exactly known for being responsive to criticism, but you could always PM him and see if he'll fix this.

The Hello Engine is created by an MFGG user named Hello. He only comes on once every couple months to show us his new version of the Hello Engine. I'm not sure how he wants us to report bugs to him. He might have a website for this kind of thing, I don't know.

I'm wondering, would it be moraly wrong o upload a "fixed" version that would be cheat proof in that respect? If so, I'll make it, because someone might want their game to be more challenging.

Just post the section of the code that needs to be fixed; there are already about a dozen "remakes" of the Hello Engine (and except for the DeeY Engine, most just change the sprites or add about three new enemies). We don't really need another one floating around. Hello also has a Web site in his profile, and that's another way you could try to contact him. About a year ago, I got stuck in one of his games, and he responded to one of my comments on the main site about how to get past the place I was stuck. But the rest of the time, basically he just writes "Update!" in the Hello Engine topic or the topics for his innumerable HE3 games.

Here's the code [syntax=gml]if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_shift) and other.speed = 0 and ready = 0 { with obj_mapmario event_user(1) global.powerup[0] = powerup1 global.powerup[1] = powerup2 global.powerup[2] = powerup3 room_goto(rmBonus) } if obj_mapmario.speed = 0 obj_mapboxdrawer.mytext = "mushroom house"[/syntax] I checked hello's engine and I found that misses something. See the "[b]ready[/b]" variable?, It seems Hello doesn't added "[b]ready = 1[/b]" in that part of code. That is the problem.

In obj_mushhouse's collision event with obj_mapmario, replace that code with this. [code]if keyboard_check_pressed(vk_shift) and other.ready = 0 and other.speed = 0 and ready = 0 { with obj_mapmario event_user(1) global.powerup[0] = powerup1 global.powerup[1] = powerup2 global.powerup[2] = powerup3 room_goto(rmBonus) } if obj_mapmario.speed = 0 obj_mapboxdrawer.mytext = "mushroom house"[/code]

Hello actually replied! Wow.

Woah, what a surprising moment (Not really) but this isn't the first reply that has ever happened. Though I am getting really advanced at Game Maker and is capable of reading Hello's coding, it is still isn't right that he doesn't indent his code. He really needs to look at his engine or else Deey is going to have a better engine. I'm using both of their codes at the moment to make my own Super Mario Bros. Engine, but still. The point is Hello needs to look over his coding (and indent) so people can read his coding or more people will begin to use Deey's Engine. Oh and Deey,I don't mean to say that so you'll get angry; no offense.

Well most people who use the hello engine probably don't even know what code is, so his only real loss is probably as much competition as they are users.
