Level Editor: Secrets, Entity Names and ExecuteFunctions (Tool included)

By st0l3n.id and 1 collaborators

I try to gather advanced knowledge about the Broforce Level Editor in this guide, as well as providing usefull tools to furhter edit them outside of the game.
Finally be able to assign functions/actions to switches. Make it rain mooks and fire and actual rain at the same time with a push of a button? All possible now.

Entity Names

The game has a SpawnResource Function, which allows you to spawn in resources through triggers.
This List was originally created by SoupCalhoun and myself, most of the credit goes to him though, especially for recent updates (post-hell and post-desert).

Certain resources may not even spawn because I have not tested Broforce Forever completely yet.

Execute Functions

There is also a function type called ExecuteFunctions, you can access them by typing smokinggun in the main menu.
After you have done that the new trigger type should be available in the editor.
Call Methods are no longer functional due to Network Security Vulnerability Fix (October 3, 2022).
Execute Functions still function normally.
Execute Functions are case sensitive.
Recent iterations of this list are all possible thanks to SoupCalhoun.

Execute Functions with Variables

Using Variable Dependent Execute Function

First have a trigger use a Variable Action in order for the variable to be used:

Then have a trigger use an Execute Action and apply the variable to it by checking the box
"Use Scripted Value As Parameter" and inputting the variable name:

In this example the player is set to be invulnerable for 0 seconds, by setting variable "Zero" to 0, and applying that variable to the function "TempInvulnerability" will use it to determine the duration of the function. Other functions that work similarly include: "Stun" "Blind" "CreateMinorGroundWave"

Some functions determine which player or faction the object will effect, like "ArmVillagerRPC" or "ForgetPlayer". Negative numbers can make evil villagers.

There are also functions that determine magnitude and direction with positive and negative numbers: "RollOnto" "Push" "Roll" "Open" "ForceFaceDirection"
Numbers greater than 1 may be needed for them to work.

Tools

Download the Broforce Level Tool here [www.dropbox.com]
Alternate link [drive.google.com]
The tool allows for decompressing and re-compressing the level files to make manual changes with a text editor of your choice (i recommend Notepad++ with the XML extension to refactor and highlight decompressed files).

/Edit: New Version, now with switch support.
There is a funciton that adds 3 triggers with 3 ExecuteFunctions each to every map. It also adds 3 ExecuteFunctions to every switch on every map, therefore unlocking access to create switch puzzles, or simple elevator call buttons.
Be advised that this is not necessary anymore, as you have the "smokinggun" cheatcode now, which is frankly more reliable ;)

Decompressed files give you advanced editing power.
Fe. it its possible to edit block spawning actions to spawn any block. An example level for that is linked in my thread (look at last section).

If you are worried about what the tool exactly does:
The level files of Broforce are compressed with a method to make them smaller (LZF), my tool simply uses a free library to decompress and compress them. Adding the triggers is simply doing the steps of hopping into a text editor and writing lots of lines manually, for you.

Finally, i have added functions to simply mass-spawn stuff etc, on an XML base.
Your published levels (or others) cant be opened with this tool.

Read the ReadMe to learn how to use it. Oh, and the blockSpawnReplace bat wants two coordinates that describe a box and will spawn in given foreground terrain via a trigger (background and doodads are still wip).

Guide Future & Tool updates

This guide is up to date for now, the tool is not, and might still get expanded on, but i have nothing sheduled on this right now.

Alternativly subscribe to this thread, i'll post updates there as well:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/discussions/-1/610573009257205332/?appid=274190

Also give Soup a big shoutout as he did most of the work on this topic.

what do i put in the "call method on object" section?

lеshii 22 Aug, 2023 @ 1:34am

Thanks, that helped a lot, although I thought that removing conditions in that case will make the level editor remove every potential bro so I just put // before RemoveAt functions

st0l3n.id [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 1:07am

You know trivial for your average gamer, just decompile your game and change the games code....

Soup is the expert on that though, i've not gone that far

Soup Calhoun [author] 21 Aug, 2023 @ 6:22pm

It's easy. What you do is get a c# decompiler like dnspy v6.1.8 and then open the AssemblyCSharp.dll file in the Broforce/Broforce_beta_Data/Managed folder. Then you go to the LevelEditorGUI class and remove the bro must be unlocked conditions in the code.

if (!Application.isEditor && !Info.IsDevBuild)
{
for (int l = this.heroTypes.Count - 1; l >= 0; l--)
{
if (!PlayerProgress.Instance.IsHeroUnlocked(this.heroTypes[l]))
{
this.heroTypes.RemoveAt(l);
}
}
for (int m = LevelEditorGUI.broChangeHeroTypes.Count - 1; m >= 0; m--)
{
if (!PlayerProgress.Instance.IsHeroUnlocked(LevelEditorGUI.broChangeHeroTypes[m]))
{
LevelEditorGUI.broChangeHeroTypes.RemoveAt(m);
}
}
}
Then you can access The Expendabros easily. There is also other parts of the code to delete in order to access the scrapped bros.

lеshii 21 Aug, 2023 @ 7:28am

Hi, my request may sound dumb because I'm sure that this information is public and can be found somewhere around a community(I didn't found it tho

) but how can I add expendabros to my levels somehow? Because I didn't find any similar to Brochange functions there, and, you know, Brochange onlu works with vanilla bros
If you know any ways to implement expendabros could you please share this knowledge with me?

Soup Calhoun [author] 13 Aug, 2023 @ 8:25am

Those are for abandoned game features, so I don't believe the shop props or money have any function whatsoever.

mæstro :) 13 Aug, 2023 @ 7:11am

Do these ShopProps even work? And also, is there any use of money? (in Level Editor you can spawn some)

Soup Calhoun [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 9:19pm

Air Fortress is
Boss/Boss_Tank

Judge Boogiebuns 9 Aug, 2023 @ 11:10am

How can you spawn an air fortress?

brennfeu 26 Apr, 2022 @ 9:15am

some can be summoned using entitynames, some can't
