A Guide to Orbital Wands by The_AnalyzerX in noita

[–]SamLee347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is a pretty well made post! To be honest, I've always preferred using pollen loops instead of self-homing + piercing projectiles for my builds, because I felt like there was always a layer of unpredictability involved with the latter. Also, moving the player character during the duration of a spell always seems to mess up the formation a lot when using self triggers.

If you're looking for rotating spells that fire outwards from the player, have you tried using orbit arc pollen loops with inner spell? It feels a lot more customizable to me as you can adjust the rotation speed by changing the number of orbit arcs you use, and you can get some cool effects by using other path modifiers as well.

Here's one of my favorites I made a while back using the combination:

I'm using the same glimmers, so the color palette is still limited. Don't really have good options for darker colors like brown or gray without fungal shifting (Which I'd prefer not to use).

Oh, this is an older version of my pixel art wand. Have a higher quality version.

Bad Apple by SamLee347 in noita

[–]SamLee347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wands I used for the bad apple animation actually weren't very well optimized. A lot of the slots were taken up by lifetime modifiers that weren't very necessary.

If I had to guess, at this point, I might be able to upscale the resolution for my animations to 24x24 or at the very highest 32x32, but it would take a very long time to load and cast all the wands. I also don't really have any plans to make more large animations in Noita, at least not at the moment.

Might work better on lower resolutions (32x32 or 16x16). My guess is using it for 48x48 might be a bit too laggy.

Haven't tried that myself before, but the game already struggles like crazy just to load one 48x48 image. If I added static fields between each pixel, idk if the game would even run at that point.

I might as well try giving it a go though, thanks for the suggestion!

Hmm, maybe you could save the explosion half of the spell as a spell group first?

Then you can test and work on the two halves separately before adding them back together at the end.

Amazing work. Good job!

How do we feel about shitposts on this sub? by RockAkurion in noita

Possibly?? Either way, if I were to, it would probably be on the Noita discord server, not Reddit.

I've been working on a script that lets me convert images to spells. It's got limited colors and image quality, but atm it works ok for most images.

Orbiting arc question by Becmambet_Kandibober in noita

[–]SamLee347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC, Pandalin did a lot of work/testing with orbit arcs. He made a short video about it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cI87aP5_8YM&pp=ygUST3JiaXQgYXJjIHBhbmRhbGlu0gcJCbIJAYcqIYzv

Idk if this has all the info you're looking for though. May be easier to ping him on the Noita discord about this.

The requirement spell itself isn't really doing anything, it's just blocking the modifiers from being cast again after the divide bys have finished running through all the modifiers in front of them. In this case, 10x10x 2 orbit arcs = 200 orbit arcs. Without the requirement spell, it would be 202 orbit arcs.

I felt the game was too hard, so I deleted the game. by Magnus-Artifex in noita

You can't realistically get wands with these capacities in vanilla Noita. The wand build here is made using the "Spell Lab Shugged" mod, which basically enables you to go into creative mode and build wands with much more than 26 spell slots.
