I've kinda wondered why no one has tried to start making a "full game" for things such as POTS style, CVS2, etc. Basically making a new KFM (Ryu?) with no regards to other characters, just built to all work with each other with standard community set vars, special anims, etc.

How would one go about coding chaining attacks, like Jab into Strong into Fierce Punch.

How would I code a multi hit attack, like a three string fierce punch??

How would I properly code a Dragon Punch??

[State 1050, 2]
type = PosAdd
trigger1 = AnimElem = 2
x = 15
y = 30

and you character becomes a functional clusterfuck of all sorts, but players are happy with it.

attack.dist = 90	;Default attack distance (by pixel.)
proj.attack.dist = 90	;Default attack distance for projectiles (by pixel.)
head.pos = 0, -114	;Approximate position of head (by pixel.)
mid.pos = 0, -80	;Approximate position of midsection (by pixel.)

[State PosA, 1]
type = PosAdd
trigger1 = animelemtime(14) = 0
x = floor(40 * const(size.xscale))

No the axis is still different for each character. It's just that once you get the axis you simply set all sprites to that axis and they are aligned. AOKManiac/Insanius is good about supplying the axis for you with his packs in a read me. I am doing that as well starting with my new Dee rips I just released.

As for the animations. Again, if the sprites are ripped like mine, Kong, AOK, etc get them they have a lot of duplicates. Just use the duplicates in the packs as they are. They are in the correct order for the moves and FF3 will link all duplicate sprites for you later anyway.

Throws can also have varying damage based on if they can be comboed afterwards or not. For example, if a throw wall bounces, its damage should be lessened a bit since its juggles can be limited depending on position. If a throw just keeps P2 in the air right next to the character (like Gouken), it's best to not give it any damage since any hit is basically guaranteed.

can we please post pictures or snapshots to help noobs like me?
it would help me a lot.
And why not take a char badly coded and post step by step how to update him??

Don't forget about the main data on your character(s).

Data like this -

Code:

attack.dist = 90	;Default attack distance (by pixel.)
proj.attack.dist = 90	;Default attack distance for projectiles (by pixel.)
head.pos = 0, -114	;Approximate position of head (by pixel.)
mid.pos = 0, -80	;Approximate position of midsection (by pixel.)

-are important. Some creators (like me) do use these numbers in their characters. Mainly these numbers are important for AI coding, but these numbers can be used if you're using a projectile or helper that homes based on their mid.pos or head.pos (for headshots).

Also, if you're going to have testers for your character, have testers with experience in that fighting game-style. Unless if it's a completely custom game-style, of course. It's not necessary, but it does help.

And for positioning characters, onion skinning does help; but if the character is taking big steps when attacking and you want the character's sprite to stay in the middle of the X axis, use the PosAdd state controller. Take the amount of pixels from the leg it started, move it to the desired axis (mainly put the axis in between the legs of the character) and use the difference of that number (starting X - ending X) in the value of the PosAdd state controller.

Code:

[State PosA, 1]
type = PosAdd
trigger1 = animelemtime(14) = 0
x = floor(40 * const(size.xscale))

The * const(size.xscale) helps if you're scaling characters.

And.. ..I think I just confused some people.
