Gentlemen, I have worked out the code necessary to recreate SF4's novelty feature, the focus attack. Sadly, the amusement gotten from this is somewhat short lived, as it dawned on me shortly afterward that I have no real practical use for this snippet of code myself. To justify the time I wasted in making this code, I am going to post it here with the detailed notes I made to clear up what does exactly what. Let us begin.What this code doesThis code lets you recreate the Focus Attack/Saving Strike command move from the Street Fighter 4 series. For those unfamiliar with what a focus attack is, it's a command move you charge up by holding both mid attack buttons, with the resulting attack doing more damage on higher levels and even becoming unblockable at max power. You can also cancel out of the attack by dashing backwards or forwards.When charging, your character can absorb 1 non-throw hit without being knocked out of the move. As long as you don't get hit again after either finishing the attack or dash canceling, you can actually slowly regain the health lost from the one allowed hit. If you hit again while still charging though, there is no change to gain back health at all though.The code itself is broken up into 3 main states for p1: 2 charging states for before and after getting hit once, and the last state for the actual attack portion. There are also portions that need to be placed within the negative states For p2, there is the one custom crumple state that they are forced into if they get hit with a max power focus attack. As there's no standard collapse animation, it just makes use of standing and crouching gethit frames before going into liedown and returning control to p2.List of Vars used in examplevar(20): Reserved for Focus Attack part A (Keeps track of single hit)var(21): Reserved for Focus Attack part B (Lost life from hit)var(22): Reserved for Focus Attack part C (Keeps track of animelem for charge anim)fvar(9): Used for Focus Attack charge valueRemember that if you change the var numbers in your own case, be sure that you make those changes in all instances of that var.Command entries used (aka put these in the command file in the appropriate places.)[Command]name = "hold-b"command = /$btime = 1[Command]name = "hold-y"command = /$ytime = 1;Focus strike[State -1, focus]type = ChangeStatevalue = 900trigger1 = command = "y" && command = "b" && statetype = S && ctrlAnimation Entries usedNote: These entries are just the examples I used.

Tune in next time as I talk about a quick and dirty way of tackling the SF4 Ultra bar; not because I have any use for it, but because the one example I have seen uses an absurd 70+ animations to pull off the green alone when you could really do the same in 3 animations or so with the right code. That is absurd! If you can make use of the code, just remember to toss in a credit somewhere. If you really appreciate it, please feel free to visit the link in my signature and visit the paypal donate page. Hah! (Seriously though, if you can spare a bit, it would be appreciated.)Well, that ultra bar code won't write itself; good .\/. to you all and catch you later.[Edit] Most recent edit has revised and additional hitdefs in the final state to better emulate the behaviour when the attack hits an airborne enemy.
I've also developed my own focus attack codes, it's shorter but it works fine. But this one looks much more consistent, so I might borrow bits and pieces of the code to fine tune my own, thanks
thanks, maybe rei will remake his sf4 chars based on this codesomeone should email him, I would but I don't know his email
Wow, Thanks!! I'll try this when I get home. I didn't implement it because I got stuck trying to figure out which state to put P2 in his crumple state and make him juggleable/hittable for a few frames.
Replying just to ensure that those who already installed this code earlier take notice that the hitdefs within the attack state have been updated to fix some problematic behavior.
very nice, as is your sf4kfm in generalI was wondering if you could explain how to just get just the super armor part of the focus attack from this code, so it could be added to other moves. As you probably know many characters have ex moves in sf4 that have the focus style super armor but not the crumple, charge etc. Thank you in advance.
From the sounds of it, most of what you need refers to the hitoverride sctrl and related aspects under statedef -3. That's responsible for redirecting the character into the secondary state rather than a gethit state. You'll likely want to find an alternate solution to the current var usage to keep track of animelem number, since the current code example is really only ideal for an animation that doesn't make use of a lot of frames.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tNc9Sgsji4thank you rolento. this is the result of you code with some edits on my end. you will be in my read mefor contributions.
I have found a problem with the coding. i need help. what seems to happen is when gouken dash cancels the max attack seems to be stored or better described as stocked away. then when you go for another charge he does full fucus attac instantly.i have delayed goukens release until i can fix of get help on it.
I did put a varset in statedef -2 that should reset the charging value if you cancel into any of the dashing states, which are usually states 100 and 105. Perhaps you are using a non standard value?

After a quick check, I'm pretty sure it is; doesn't look like I threw in any 1.0 specific sctrls or triggers.

Then you haven't done everything right, and are possibly initialising that variable back to 10 or whatever at a specific point. Of course, he SHOULD do a level 3 kick if you charge it to level 3 kick.I trust your variable isn't already in use...
Working 100% turns out gouken didnt have a statedef -3so i had to make it in my character and then place the -2 in stuff in the place in my extra.cns.no it's perfect and resets. thanks rolento.
vyn im adding this code to your ryu evilxryu. your focus for terry was on point i must add. but yeah ryulento all my other sf characters will have this. im redoing ryu and ken with this.

Tune in next time as I talk about a quick and dirty way of tackling the SF4 Ultra bar; not because I have any use for it, but because the one example I have seen uses an absurd 70+ animations to pull off the green alone when you could really do the same in 3 animations or so with the right code. That is absurd! If you can make use of the code, just remember to toss in a credit somewhere. If you really appreciate it, please feel free to visit the link in my signature and visit the paypal donate page. Hah! (Seriously though, if you can spare a bit, it would be appreciated.)Well, that ultra bar code won't write itself; good .\/. to you all and catch you later.[Edit] Most recent edit has revised and additional hitdefs in the final state to better emulate the behaviour when the attack hits an airborne enemy.[/quote]You mean That Attack that Alows you to break gaurd like SFIV? ???
