How do I launch a projectile that explodes on impact with the foe or at a predetermined point 200X away if the foe isn't close enough, within 200 x points?

Use a helper. Projectile works too but helper will make more sense if its like a timed bomb.

For the if it hits all you need is the movecontact trigger. For the other bit is that an absolute distance or a variable one like 200px away from the player? Both can be done but the method varies and 1 is far simpler than the other


In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

I want to launch a projectile that will travel 200 X horizontal distance forward and then explode, regardless of whether the user moves after using it or not.

use a helper, and then calculate the pixel movement based on time and velocity. For example, if the velocity is X=2, then it means it will move 2 pixels per tick, therefore you will have to blow it up when time=100

I'm sorry, I've never used Helpers before. How do they work? I doubleclicked Helper in Fighter Factory and filled out what showed up but that I think doesn't spawn the helper. And where do I put the "go from state 241 to 242 after 4 seconds, Helper!" Code?

Where is your favorite documentation on how to code helpers? If you tell me I'll credit you in the character's readme file.

Will this method also make the helper explode on contact with the enemy if the enemy is within 200x of the player? That's what I need here: projectile 1 firing, travelling 200x distance, then exploding. Or touching the foe if he's too close, then exploding early.
