Add Rockets To STKM Using Lua API

    How can I add rocket boots to STKM, STK2, and FIGH with Lua API?

    You can't. Unless of course you're willing to spawn gravity wall under the stickmen, wait one frame, and then unspawn the wall.

    I could have sworn there was a command that did that. What about regular in the console commands?

    I'm not aware of one.

    I found the command!!! Apparently it only works in Jacob1's Mod so maybe that is why you couldn't find it?

    The API in my mod is documented here: https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Lua_Functions_in_Jacob1%27s_Mod.html#sim.stickman

    But if I add it to official, I'm almost certainly going to change it. I don't really like the API now.

    How does the spawnID function work though?

     

    if sim.partProperty(sim.stickman(1, "spawnID"), "ctype") == elem.DEFAULT_PT_WATR then

        sim.partProperty(sim.stickman(1, "spawnID"), "life", sim.partProperty(sim.stickman(1, "spawnID"), "life") + 1)

    end
     
    The following code is not working for some reason. I checked everything so I think the only way it is flawed is something about the sim.stickman function.

    spawnID is the ID of the SPWN particle, not of the stickman. That isn't what you want.

    You should set an update function on STKM and use the ID passed into that function. This update function will only run when STKM is active, which is also a benefit.

    What ID in the update function? The iterator?
