Hello again.
Right, cutting to the chase, for the purposes of what I'm doing (IE recreating mechanics from Dragon Ball FighterZ), I need some custom knockbacks and knockdowns because... Well, generally speaking, there are 3 different types of each.
For knockbacks, we have what I'm going to call "fall", "splat" and "bounce" knockbacks, based on how they interact with the wall.
For knockdowns, we have "soft", "sliding" and "hard" knockdowns. soft being the default, sliding being a "you're stuck here and vulnerable to Off the Ground attacks for a bit" and hard being "no recovery, only stand"
Anyhow, here be my code for such things

Var(10) is assigned on move hit for a relevant move, for example:
[State 220, HitDef]
type = HitDef
trigger1 = AnimElem = 3
(mostly not relevant stuff here as far as the knockback is concerned)
ground.velocity = -5, -1 ; Knockback for wall bounce
envshake.time = 10
envshake.ampl = 8 ; Stronger screen shake for heavy attack
p2stateno = 5400 ; Custom state for wall bounce
p2facing = 1 ; Force the opponent to face the player after hit
[State 220, Knockback set]
type = VarSet
trigger1 = MoveHit = 1
var(10) = 1
Now, my issue is twofold, mostly. I think. Basically
A: As far as the knockback is concerned, it doesn't like looking at var(10). (The thought did occur to me as I'm writing this that I could have different knockback states for each wall interaction, but I'd prefer not to do that if I can get the var(10) check to work, I don't have to copy the thing several times.)
and B: The knockdown landings just don't work.
