How to make invincible bullet bills:
1: Place the bullet bill base.
2: Change the color to something easy to spot in the level code.
3: Copy the level code.
4: Find the color number in the code.
5: Change that number to something but a number.
Your done! The bills from that base will be flashing and invincible!
Before: 71,x,y,Direction,Rotation,Speed,Wait,Offset,Color,0

After: 71,x,y,Direction,Rotation,Speed,Wait,Offset,NaN,0

Thank you and that's what I want!

HOW TO DISABLE SPRITES (Credits to Gamer to find this!)
Disabled Sprites are good for nice effects. Level Transistions, for example, just get dark stripes. Dark rooms, anyone?
1. Place a sprite in the level.
2. Look right in the window. At the bottom you see the picture of the sprite and the name - in front of it is a number. Now look at the top. There are 3 groups: Various, Enemies and Decoration. If your sprite is a enemy, add 50 to the number in front of the sprite name, if the sprite is decoration, add 100.
3. Click on the placed sprite and remember the values next to x and y.
4. Copy the code and paste it in Notepad or something. Search for
|SN,x,y
SN is the result of Step 2, x and y are... x and y from Step 3. Now put a 0 (zero) in front of SN:
|0SN,x,y
Copy the changed code and load it in the Level Designer, the sprite is now disabled.

Grammar mistake: "a own"
To be right, make it "an own"

Well, good sir, technically it would be "their own" but nobody noticed that. >.>

Is it possible to create a vertical level transition? (example: climbing the clock tower) And if so, how?

[Buff_]

It isn't possible to make working ones... though you can make disabled ones. Hope that helps.

[Sinow Dark]

Curses. Well, then that's something that should be added to the "What's missing in the level editor" thread.

[Buff_]

It has, many times. Runouw just isn't updating though... but meh. It's brilliant the way it is. Of course, if someone could find a glitch way of doing it.....

[Sinow Dark]

There's always a glitch-way... But I suck at coding.

BTW, what are the conditions of a level-transition anyway? I keep trying to use it, but it only works in odd, inconvenient places, cutting out whole chunks of the area, rather than a blank area off to the side.

Wait, never mind, I figured it out. There have to be a set number of tiles on the grid past the transition. Dur.
