The Mugen Fighters Guild - Diary of the creation of a P.o.t.S character Part 6: Santa's Little Helpers

Previous parts:

Part 1: Basic Movements

Part 2: Run, Dash, Evade, Power Charge, Zero Counter, Parry

Part 3: Custom Combo, Recovery, Guard

Part 4: Lose and Intro animations

Part 5: Constants, Win animations, Taunts

Part 6: Universal Helpers

Greetings! It took a bit more time to write this, 'cause I'm working full-time again and I have less time to do mugen related stuff. Which may be for the best, actually. Although mugen is one of my tools to deal with stress and relax a bit, I was starting to overwork myself with this project. So, I'll take this with the due timing to avoid the feeling of burnout that killed many a project.

The System.st file is almost done. The remaining parts are the Statedefs -2 and -3, which redirect to many other states I haven't even looked at yet. That's why I'll leave that part for later. Today, I'll be starting to deal with the universal, P.o.t.S-trademarked helpers. I'll deal with Ryu's unique helpers as I deal with the associate moves.

Being this stuff universally used to make a character "look P.o.t.S-ish", this will be obviously mostly a copypaste job. However, I'll try to highlight the differences between Jmorphman's codes (which I'm taking as a template) and variations whenever I can. This may be boring, but you may find it useful as a template if you want to understand why a character has bigger/different sparks and this bothers you (which does it for me).

PARRY HELPERS
In most recent P.o.t.S characters, the file starts with these. Not Ryu, though. Actually, the geography of this file is very different, so we'll be pretty much remaking it.

Gotta be honest, I'm not really sure what's happening here. At first I thought this coded for the blue thingy, but then I realized it's just an explod (which I'm putting here under). Does this code decide the area of action of the parry itself?

After this part usually go the unique helpers of the character, such as projectiles and stuff. We'll jump ahead.

GUARD SPARKS
Most of the stuff that follows is identical from a character to the other. As it should be, if you're an OCD fella and want your roster to look like it comes from the same actual game.

Guard sparks are pretty conserved between character even in different "P.o.t.S sub-styles", the only difference I found are the scales. I'm keeping those I'm finding on Jmorphman's characters.

This sprite is conveniently centered.

Here's a (probably) unpopular opinion: I strongly dislike the MvC style text that appears during counters and super finishes. I won't remove them, but I'll add my own trigger to deactivate them. So, I'm gonna add this on the config file:

Code:

; MvC Style Text
[State 5900, Text]
type = VarSet
trigger1 = 1
v = 55
value = 0 ; (0 = on, 1 = off)

That said, whenever you see the var(55) anywhere in the following parts, it's me giving myself the option to remove texts. (Spoiler: I'll do the same for the Lv3 super portraits)

To break a bit the monotony, the BindToRoot of this helper needs to be placed carefully to match the power charge animation, as well as the bel values on the particle explod.

And now a party trick: the double portrait for the tag team Super with Ken. Unluckily, this kind of move is something more unique than rare. I'm pretty sure Jmorphman is making a double Super between Evil Ryu and Violent Ken, in that case I'll update this part.
