Pikifen (formerly know as the Pikmin fangame engine)

Version 0.17 is out! This version introduces several important objects to the engine, like Pellet Posies, decorative plants, nectar, Candypop Buds, bomb rocks, and a few others. You can find some of these new objects in the "Play" area. As usual, there are also some improvements and new features in this version. Specific enemies can now drop specific things, like pellets or treasures, the editors got some minor quality-of-life features, Pikmin that carry a single-Pikmin object will now do it better, gameplay should have better performance, and perhaps most importantly, some nasty glitches with the area editor have finally been fixed! You can find the full list of changes in the changelog, and download 0.17 here!

Pikifen 0.18 is out! This is the second "important objects" update, and as such, it introduces four new object categories: group tasks (Pikmin pose together to push, activate, etc., like cardboard boxes), scales (they measure weight, like seesaw blocks or crushable paper bags), tracks (they transport objects from point to point, like climbing sticks), and bouncers (they bounce objects away, like Bouncy Mushrooms and geysers). Some objects have also been added to the pre-packaged content to test these new categories and other features, though they are not present in the standard area. This update also revamps several things about object scripting and combat, like allowing the usage of variables in scripting in a lot more places. As always, the changelog can be found here, and the download here.

(Just here to ask a question, I don't really use this website XD)
So, I understand if it would be too hard to add Winged Pikmin, seeing as they'd need some sort of code to identify them as above ground, meaning some enemies wouldn't be able to reach them, but what about Rocks? Or even Bulbmin? (TBH Bulbmin also sound kinda hard, but possible.)

Alright, thanks for clarifying! I know I did say that it would be nearly impossible to implement Winged Pikmin, but do you think that it would be possible or not? I think it isn't possible, if I'm honest. ;-; But hey! I made an alternative called "Pink Pikmin". Their throw height is 480, but they have weak attacking power. Basically Wings but no flying.

I believe I know how it would be possible to create them. You might have to use part of the code for the Pikmin's throw, but make it sustain for most actions. For example, when a Pikmin is thrown, it goes a certain height. The Winged Pikmin would always be a certain height, meaning it would be like they're constantly being thrown, but they'd be able to perform actions. I might ask a friend of mine to see if that would work. However, you would need to make the Winged Pikmin drop for attacking, picking things up (but not fully carrying them) and being knocked over. That could be applied for when a Pikmin is no longer being thrown. Also, this rule could apply for enemies like Shearwigs and Flighty Joustmites, Snitchbugs and The Dirigibugs (or as I call them, Hot Air Balloon Bois). (And also, if Mitites were to be implemented, they would need logic for them to have a chance to spawn out of eggs, and also spawn nectar when killed.) Another way for Winged Pikmin (and more flying enemies) to be implemented could be to use code from the Spectralids, seeing as they fly, too. I hope this helps! Also, good luck for the next update, and I understand if it takes a while (Plus, I was able to make Bulbmin ).

No worries! You can make and share any content you wish. That's the idea behind the engine, after all. You may have a larger audience in the engine's Discord server though. As for trying to script Pikmin, that's a new feature introduced in 0.19, but it's fairly limited, due to the way Pikmin work behind the scenes. Because their script is internally very complex, it's almost impossible for a Script.txt text file to change their behavior effectively. In the future, I want to see if I can add more ways to customize the way Pikmin work, though.

Heya! The next update has a few tricky things that I'm still working on, so it'll be tough to give an estimate. But I'm thinking it'll be ready somewhere around April. If you want, you can join the project's Discord server, where I post updates every couple of days. I've edited the first post of this thread with updated links and a link to the server. See you there!
