Creating Powerups - Smashing-Tech/Smash-Hit-Blender-Tools GitHub Wiki

Power-ups are objects that help the player throughout the game by giving them temporary help.

Object Properties

Power-up

This will select which power-up this one will appear as. Some of the options require explaination:

Standard power-ups

These are power-ups that appear normally in Smash Hit.

• Ball Frenzy: Also called "infinite balls"
• Slow Motion: Also called "time slow"
• Nitro Balls: Also called "explosive balls"

Beta power-ups

These power-ups were added to Blender Tools in order to support older versions of Smash Hit and not many still work; however, there are a few that still work - notably the barrel power-up, despite a messy sprite.

• Barrel: It still works and creates a large explosion which breaks the surrounding glass. This will show as a ball sprite with a white-to-transparent gradient, but you can fix this.
• Multi-ball: Does not work anymore. Old power up that would enable five-ball multiball
• Freebie: Does not work anymore. Old power up found in binary strings but no known usage
• Anti-gravity: Does not work anymore. Old power up that probably would have reversed gravity
• Shield: Does not work anymore. Old power up that probably would have protected the player
• Homing: Does not work anymore. Old power up that probably would have homed to obstacles
• Life: Does not work anymore. Old power up that gave the player a life
• Balls: Does not work anymore. Old power up that gave the player ten balls
