Intros that involve Player 2?

I'm working on a custom sprited character, Jailbot, from the cartoon series Superjail!

I'm still in the spriting phase and have yet to study the coding aspect.  However, I have a "unique" idea that I don't believe is possible, but I really want to have this clarified before I entertain the idea any longer.

Two of Warner's characters, Peter Griffin & Homer, each have a custom intro coded for when they fight each other: Homer always kicks Peter across the screen when they fight.

My Question:  Is it possible to delay an opposing random fighter's intro to make them first walk on-screen, perform their "throw" animation, then walk back off, before resume their intro?

For this particular intro that I have in mind, I would like the opposing fighter to throw a rock at Jailbot.

Has this been done? Is it possible?

Thanks!

Its been done and is certainly possible, but it would require synchronizing both characters' intros. AFAIK, theres no way to actually interrupt a character's intro without coding the intro into both characters and using name triggers.

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.

Thanks for the reply!  This intro I have in mind can also work with an NPC... so when Jailbot's almost completed, I'll just code it both ways and see if anyone is interested in having their character toss a rock at him :)

I'll keep the question on the table, though, in case someone knows some workaround to do this.

I did it once, pretty easy:

Code: 
[State 190, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = Enemy, Name = "RyuKOP" && Enemy, AuthorName = "Human"
value = 192

trigger - if enemy name and author is x and y then state goes to z, if you use this in both characters working at each other it will synchronize them (as they start at the same moment.
