This page explains how to use Events/Notetype Scripts in your mod!

Could there be some sort of strumline movement event script? That'd help a lot with the mod I'm working on.

[DatPhantomOnYT]

is it possible to play an animation using the notetype thing, but for another character added in using the stage?

[NexIsDumb]

yeah, the notehit event has a character field iirc

[TuxCat01]

I copy and pasted the code for a note type I made myself, but when testing it in-game the second I hit one the game crashes with "Null Object Reference."

[acesenatus-prog]

It MAY be because your not using boyfriend as your character and when it goes to play bf hurt it cant find anything explaining the null error and then it crashes. even if your using boyfriend try removing that part if you dont need it. if it still crashes idrk _(. .)_/

I think it would be useful if the info on note types specified a bit more, such as the fact that you can use these functions:
function onPlayerMiss(event) { (allows for different actions if the note is NOT hit)
function onDadHit(event) { (allows for actions if it's on the opponent side)

[NexIsDumb]

i mean, you just gotta look at song scripts

How do i make a custom note that continuously drains the players health when pressed? (Like the poison mushroom notes from Mario's Madness)

[acesenatus-prog]

since you mentioned mario madness, im going to assume Codename.
The script for a drain note would be:
import flixel.tweens.FlxTween;

var drainAmount:Int = 0.6;

function onNoteCreation(e)
{
if(e.noteType == "your drain note here")
{
e.noteSprite = "game/notes/types/your drain note here";
}
}

function onPlayerHit(e)
{
if(e.noteType == "your drain note here")
{
trace("draining health!");
drainHealth(drainAmount);

    trace(health);
}

}

function onPlayerMiss(e)
{
if(e.noteType == "Your drain note here")
{
e.cancel(true);
e.note.strumLine.deleteNote(e.note);
}
}

function drainHealth(amount:Int)
{
health = FlxTween.num(health, drainAmount, 15.0, { ease:
FlxEase.quadOut }, function(val:Float) {
health = val;
});

trace("New Hp Value: " + health);

}
As for how to make the healthbar change colors and the icon go to the
losing one when you press it i dont know that yet. but this is the base
code for a drain note.
