*Ignoring the first two replies*

You'd need to fumble around with the postype values. I'd assume the original code would have postype dedicated to the sides of the screen. Change it so that it requires another trigger that checks what player # it needs. Ifelse could come handy.

Nope, he refers to Helper sctrl itself. There's a line called postype which is where your helper will appear. In the case you mentioned, originally the heper appears behind the character, that's mean "back", and what you want to do is to make him appear "front" the character.

Here's an example. this is the Helper sctrl I use for one of my Scott Pilgrim's helpers appearing in front of my char and behind the opponent:

Code:

[State 1101, Wallace]
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelem = 6
persistent = 0
name = "Wallace"
id = 1200
pos = 50, 0
postype = front
stateno = 1251
helpertype = normal
sprpriority = 9999
ownpal = 1
keyctrl = 0
facing = -1

So, in your Helper sctrl you've to get postype = front to get the efect you desire (if it's not added, you've to add it by yourself)

Well, there's another line you should see:

Code:

facing = -1

If you want the helper also see the same side your char see, then change -1 for 1 and the helper will face the same as the player
