I want this to be triggered at the first 6 ticks of movecontact.

Code: 
trigger1 = movecontact = [1,6]

The problem is that movecontact = 1 automatically means it will work for the entirety of movecontact but i don't want that.
What's the workaround for this?

movecontact = 1 does not mean that and has not meant that for years.

Movecontact is a boolean, meaning it's either 0 (false) or 1 (true). It either happens or it doesn't.

What you wanna do is this:

Code: 
trigger1 = movecontact && time = [x,y]
where x and y are the start and end of your active frames in your animation.

  • A frame here, a pixel there.

That's not true. MoveContact measures time since a move has made contact. 0 = move hasn't made contact, 1 = move has made contact and attacker is in hitpause, 2 = move has made contact and attacker is in first frame after hitpause, 3 = move has made contact and attacker is in second frame after hitpause, etc. I think the real issue here is whether Sanaefroggy wants something to happen during hitpause or not. If they want something to happen in the first 6 frames after hitpause has ended, then "MoveContact = [2, 7]" should suffice. If they want something during the 6 first frames of the hitpause, then they'll have to do something else.

Damn... I was sure I had it figured out.

I seriously apologize for the misinformation, it wasn't my intention.

Seeing as this post makes the OP's intentions more clear, the best bet for the latter case would be the use a helper to detect when hitpause begins, and have it begin a counter that increments during the hitpause, and use that as the trigger (using redirection)

Forget the helper. use a hitspark that's 6tics long. if it exists do what ever, if it doesn't then you know. The helper would probably be 1 tic behind anyways.
But MoveContact should work just fine, as long as P1 isnt paused.
