Hello and welcome.
I'm gonna try to explain this with pictures.
First you have to either create or have an existing exit at bowsers castle.


Change the destination to the Mushroom Kingdom Castle.
Mushroom kingdom Castle Throne Room is {018} as you can see.



Find the isometric spot where you want to place Mario.
This is at the door of the throne room.



Now punch those numbers into the Dest. Coords at Bowsers first room.



And now you are ready to go!
Don't forget to save everything!

Yeah, you can use a springboard.

You'll need to do a little modifying of script 65 on your side, which makes a springboard and Mario jump up (or down if you have a certain bit set.) onto or off the springboard.

Open up Event Script 65 for me.



Should look a little something like this, right? Click on "Obj Mem 70A8, etc"
Then click the "EDIT COMMAND" button at the bottom of the window, should be a little toolbar with a bunch of icons, should be the single sheet of paper with dots on it.



Should look a little something like that.

Now, go to the right side of the window, where it says "Mem 70A8," and click that drop down menu. A few selections below it should be the list of NPCs you can use. You may want to set it to NPC #0, for simplicity's sake.



Now, that this has happened, there should be another action queue with the same thing as above, and you should change that to NPC #0. (Or whichever you prefer.) This should mean, that any NPC #0 in any level that has it's event set to "65" should run that event. Be sure to set the trigger to "Jump on" in the LEVELS section of the editor.

If you need clarification on any of the steps above, please tell me. I'll assist you the best that I can.

You also need to have an exit floating above the NPC (Preferably pretty high up there.) for Mario to exit to it. I would think, anyway. You should expirement around.

Also be sure to keep most Script 65 unedited, because this game is rather fragile, and simple command in the wrong script could make the game go haywire. I would know from expirence.

ok i somewhat understand that and i did all that, i got my warp to work not the way i wanted to though. 2 problems. one the animation for when you jump on the springboard doesnt go off. instead i have to jump on the spring board and jump up to activate the warp. and when i do i here the mushroom kingdom music but its just a black screen. is there anywhere i go to find a tutorial and learn everything all about the lazy shell editor?

I think the reason the spring board isn't going off because you aren't setting the action script. Put in the number 65 in the action script box. Any time you set off the trigger for that sprite, it will activate the action and event scripts.
If that doesn't work, you could probably look at a spring board in another level and try to duplicate it. Remember to look over all the flags and action scripts.

As for tutorials, here are all the ones I've gathered (as of Nov. of last year):

Battle Scripting Tutorial
-> "Dummy" attacks and spells (also featured in Waddler-D's above guide)

Event Script tutorial

New Enemy Creation Guide

Getting NPC's to Display Dialogue

Using Cirrus - The LazyShell Patch Server

Submitting a hack to Cirrus

All I'm going to say on that part is: "Good luck to you." If you can pull it off, you'll be known well for it. The only real "Full" hacks so far are the ones made by Gian, being Bob-Omb Mafia and OFFEREZEPS, but those are only an hour long if you do it right.

right. yeah this program is supper complex. especially when it comes to scripting. like now i have a warp trampoline. i got the animation to work where it bounces you up but now i cant get the actual warping part to work. the screen just flashes black and nothing happens. i had the warping part down but not the animation but now i have the animation but not the warping part. i thought i had it down early but i guess not. the thing i dont understand the most are like bits, and the mem thing. i store mem@ that kind of thing. i dont really understand that. that looks like the hardest part. sorry for all of the questions but im trying to learn all i can about lazy shell so i know how to operate it properly. thank you very much

When you warp, you need to have a "Fade in from black (Async) (or (sync))" somewhere in a script. Usually, event 65 should be ran as a "Sub-routine" script, which should be in the events part.

And yeah, if you want any direct help, I'm always on MSN and Skype, and I've been helping out Hanto with his hack over MSN, so I can try to help you there if you would like.

Yeah, I did. Click the "Main" link on the top of most pages, and it should say "Private Messages" somewhere at the top of the main forums page.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, giangurgolo was nice enough to write some tips on making a full fledged hack in the older versions of LS that you might want to read.
Here is the full list of versions on giangurgolo's website. Just download one LS v3.2 or lower.
(Don't forget to update to v3.6 while you're there)
