[SM] Hyper beam plm?

[Jet3rd]

Hello everyone. I was wondering if it is possible to make The hyper beam a plm.

I am making a hack with SMILE and want to add in the possibility to get the hyper beam from an item.

So if this is possible can someone tell me how to get this plm in smile.

Thank you.  :cool:

I wanna say yes it is possible due to SM Phazon 0.3 doing something with the hyper beam.
[spoiler] it was an unlock for collecting the pazon particles. who knows i could be wrong.[/spoiler]

it's 100% possible, and not particularly difficult either, but it would require you to either change the code of an existing item or make a new item, and if you don't code or have a cursory knowledge of plms in super Metroid, you'll have to wait until someone decides to do it or ask them if they will.

Steel Sparkle:
[spoiler]phazon has a new plm for phazon particles and then hyper beam activated once you touched any phazon surface, which had a trigger that checked if you had collected X number of particles, and if so sets the hyper beam as active.[/spoiler]

Ah okay

[Jet3rd]

Hopefully someone can make a patch for me. I cant really code at all.

There's a reason why it covers the other beams & you can't deselect it...

Stick with long beam.

[Jet3rd]

Not really sure what your trying to say.

Are you implying that it will screw some crap up if it can be deselected?

I know that there is a Action Replay code through which you can put on and take off it. (Using Codes for each action)

SO why not a game mechanic?

[PHOSPHOTiDYL]

It's not screwing anything.
On the outside of super metroid, it's a cool hyper beam.
Inside the code, it's not a hyper beam.

It's a charged wave/plasma combo, & the way beam bits are set up you can still enable ice beam.
There's a reason why it covers the other beams & you can't deselect it.

It requires a lot of code to get working properly.
Code that isn't worth the time & effort.

I'll save you a bunch of time though with this.

It's not worth it.
Definately not without splasma beam @ 100%.

[Jet3rd]

Not sure how your saving time. I don't really know what that was but i get it now. Thanks.
Im not gonna bother anyone then. ;P

[PHOSPHOTiDYL]

Idk it's at least 1/3 a hyper beam.

Collect the plm, display a message, cancel the beams, broken beam gfx.
Just needs to maintain beam selection on the equip screen & get the proper gfx.

Aka you collect the beam, all other beams are disabled. That's it.
The rest is up to you.

[Jet3rd]

Hmmm. I see. Well thanks. Il see if anything comes out of it..

[dewhi100]

This may be off topic, but I'd like to point out that in both SM and in Prime, the hyper beam is OP, and available only for a very limited time. Those go together. If you're planning to use it, be careful and consider the possible balancing issues. Making it a PLM to me sounds like you want the HB usable over a lot larger context than it was originally intended for. Good Luck!

[Quietus]

It could make for an interesting racing hack, where the aim is to deliberately have everything die to one hit (other than bosses), so players can focus on speed. :^_^:
