Is it possible that if a helper attacks an opponent, but then disappear or just stays on screen for a bit, is there a way to redirect its target to the root character?

Like for example, helper may put target into a custom state for a bit, but then the target character goes into its own self state. While the helper is no longer there, I would want the root character to put target character into another state without attacking it?

Let's try this Sheng, why don't you send me the char and tell me what you want and i'll try to make it happen. If I can't do the task then no harm no foul. If I can then you win. I want to explain my idea, but now i'm scared because I couldn't help you in your partner thread, even though i'm sure by myself I could make it happen, but maybe I didn't explain it as well as I should have.

The only way you can force an enemy into custom states is by hitting them. What you want seems doable though. Basically, it would work like this:

1.) Have this helper hit the enemy and store its ID (target,ID) in a var.
2.) If the var is set, containing the ID of your target, then position the helper on target by redirecting to the player via their ID directly. For example: playerID(var(x)),pos x for their x position.
3.) Now that the helper is basically stuck to the enemy, have the helper hit the target whenever you want them to go into a custom state.

Hope that helps.

I guess it's also worth mentioning that you can put P2 into a custom state whenever the hell you want, by calling a helper that uses a blank animation w/ a full-screen CLSN box.

See my post here, steps #3 and #4.

One workaround that I found involves the use of the Projectile state controller. Since Projectiles created through this controller are immediately owned by the root, even if created by a helper, the root character gains the target information on hit, unlike a Helper-based Projectile.

So yeah, once your Helper makes contact, have the helper spawn a 1x1 projectile that lasts only 1 tick, deals no damage, deals 0 hits, and puts p2 into another custom state. That way the root gains the target info.

You limit yourself so badly when you try to avoid variables. When you get over your fear of the "complexity" of variables, you will find yourself in a better place: A beautiful world where coding is actually fun.

I'm going to need to know that in the future and I'm totally going to forget about this thread... so bookmarked for knowledge.
