Goomba Star Spawn

Solution
hmm like this?
the star now doesn't spawn immediately which is cool, now when you kill the 5 goombas it still does not spawn
If you aren't using visual studio code, download that, and get it set up using this.
I've formatted the code, I'll go thru what I changed
Firstly, lets look at the currAreaSyncValid code. I changed it to be a 1 liner, simply checking if the area isn't synced. With booleans you don't need to do explicit checks for true or false, you would simply do:
if x then print("True") end
if not x then print("False") end
The main thing that was wrong was you were using get_id_from_behavior and not get_behavior_from_id. So you were attempting to get the behavior id from, well, a behavior id.
If you have any questions feel free to ask :]

Code:
---@param obj Object
function bhv_custom_goomba_star_spawn_loop(obj)
if obj.oAction == 1 then
return
end
if count_objects_with_behavior(get_behavior_from_id(id_bhvGoomba)) ~= 0 then
return
end
if not gNetworkPlayers[0].currAreaSyncValid then return end
obj.oAction = 1
local star = spawn_red_coin_cutscene_star(obj.oPosX, obj.oPosY, obj.oPosZ)
star.oBehParams = obj.oBehParams
end
id_bhvGoombaStar = hook_behavior(nil, OBJ_LIST_LEVEL, false, nil, bhv_custom_goomba_star_spawn_loop)Firstly, lets look at the currAreaSyncValid code.

Firstly, something I missed, you can use `obj_count_objects_with_behavior_id` and just pass in the behavior id instead of converting it to a behavior. Another thing is instead of using oAction, just delete the object using obj_mark_for_deletion when the star is spawned.
I can't point you in one single direction for how to fix it, however, what I can say is that the problem most likely stems from what behavior you're searching for. Do the "big goombas" use a custom behavior? If so, check for those instead. Other than that, without more context, I can't really figure it out, either that or i'm being stupid and another modder can find the problem in 5 seconds lol.

Fearl, I'm extremely confused, help!
Hook into the mario update event, check if mario's player index is 0, if it is, can you run this code
This will spray chat if all the goomba's are killed.
Does the chat message go and then stop, or is it constantly saying all goomba's are killed?

I got a solution seeing this also I've realized many mistakes I made, thank you very much for the help.

Ok, the id your using must be incorrect, so i'm gonna ask a couple of questions.
1. do you hook the behavior and replace it at any point? i.e
2. Why was that marked as the solution, did you solve it, am I burning time writing this?!?!?!
3. If 1. is not being done, go into the script.c file for the level and see what bhv it's using
Edit: I was wasting my time, woohoo!!

Cool, happy I could help, what was the solution if I may ask?
lmao, the solution was to make it simpler, also make it read values <= 0, my brain exploded right now
hopefully it's okay, otherwise i'll explode right now lol, once again thanks!

A minor thing, that line above does absolutely nothing, cuz where you're spawning the star is done first. Check that where you check the level stuff aswell (and be sure to flip the condition from checking if it's false to true), otherwise though, if that works cool!.
