Anyone knows how i can get my helper to be layered over the player or target instead of behind. similar to like an energy shield.

SprPriority.

Can be used either on the statedef:
[Statedef 1005]
type = S
physics = N
movetype = A
anim = 1005
ctrl = 0
velset = 0, 0
sprpriority = 4

Or as a sctrl:
[State 1005, SprPriority]
type = SprPriority
trigger1 = 1
value = 4

They work as layers, sprpriority = 2 will be in front of sprpriority = 1 and so on.

and if the layering problems happens when hitting the enemy, there's a sprite priority parameter inside the hitdef that can adjust both P1 and P2's sprite priorities

note that  helper's code is run before the player's so there migth be some discoordination, if what you want to do can be done with explods, use explods instead, since they are instantaneous.
