QUICK UPDATE - 3.93.10.16.15
* Makes some improvements to Resource Systems.
DOWNLOAD
Here is the Character Template converted into a Resource System, let me know if you have any questions or need help.
Also, this will most likely be the last update for this version of Fighter Creator. The next update will focus on optimize the entire program, removing a ton of bugs, and adding 3D support and more.

RESOURCE SYSTEMS
Makes game development with Fighter Creator a lot easier by allowing users to create or use predefined game mechanics which, streamlines the creation process. By using Resource Systems, you no longer need to know how to implement most of the complicated gameplay features because resource systems, created by other users, can contain these features already perfected for you.
Resource System options can be accessed by clicking on the 'RS' button at the bottom of the middle bar :
- New Resource System - Sets up a new resource system.
- Import Resource System - Import an existing resource system.
- Edit Resource System - Imports an existing resource system for editing.
- Reset Resource System - Removes any left over resource system data.
If creating or editing a Resource System, new options will be available for you to add variables, entities, scripts, and frames to that system :
When items are added to the system they will be tagged to let you know :
After you are finished adding/adjusting everything in the system, clicking on the Resource System button, and clicking the 'Export Resource System' option will allow you to save your changes and export the results to a file :
Once the file has been exported, press the Resource System button again, and then click on the 'Close Resource System' option to exit out of Resource System editing.
To use the Resource System, press the Resource System button, then press the 'Import Resource System' button to load the system you previously exported.
After the system has been imported, the data the system contained will be added to your project. Any data added to the Resource System hidden will not be visible when imported ( frames will still be visible but cannot be modified ). If there were any scripts that were added to the Resource System pre-defined, they can be accessed by pressing the Resource System button :
After choosing the pre-defined script you want to insert into your project, you will then need to name the script :
Once named, the script will be added to your project ready for usage :
The Character Template posted before will be converted into a Resource System and posted here soon.

@Beto,
The only similarities between FM and FC is the both are point and click Fighting game creators. Other than that, FC uses a completely different design that gives users much more control over their projects.

You mean something like this : https://youtu.be/5fC-eBXuDk4?t=1m10s
If you look closely you will see a couple of small boxes, these are Position Collision boxes. I used them for the throw attack, but they allow you to position players where ever you want in the game.

Thanks lol, I'm not going anywhere.
As close as I can possibly get it to where the character can generally work for most fighting games, and then you would just add your game-specific features on top of it.
A ton of feedback is welcomed.
Just mainly focusing on basic movement and combat, but I can also cover more advanced features like tag team systems and so on.
Yes, templates for complete resources or gameplay systems will be share-able and people will be able to add on top of them.

Been working on adding support for 3D stages, characters will be coming soon after. Cinematic creation will be getting an overhaul to work more like how you would expect a cinematic editor to work.And I have also been working on a full game with the engine which, a lot of the game's systems will become the default setup for new projects, making it even easier to get a game up and running with the ability to still retool things to your liking.
