enhancing beam effects

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

I have this character who has this beam attack. The beam attack is quite unique and I'am trying to play with the code for enhancing the beam's destructive force. The beam attack works like this:

player punches a combination of keys:
character executes beam attack. the attack button used for execution is held for keeping the beam going.
player presses up or down the manuever the beam upwards or downwards.
The beam is drawn as three seperately animated sprite segments: the tail, the middle and the front tip, all combining to illustrate a single beam fired in one direction. Needless to say, there are three such animated segments for aiming upwards and downwards.

Here are the constants (taken from Fighter factory) used:

The actions used in the animations relevant to this code are as follows:

1010: aiming beam straightwards
1011: aiming beam diagnolly upwards
1012: aiming beam diagnolly downwards
1013: transition from straight to downwards
1014: transition from straight to upwards
1015: Spark effect caused by the beam hitting an opponent
1006 and 1005:player is finished firing the beam.

I'am still studying the definitions of each variable used here. I'am a novice, but I figured somethings out by testing the code with different values used.

The first thing that I noticed is, that when the beam is fired at an enemy it strikes him rapidly and pushes him back. The attack collision box is repeatedly generated to mimic the effect of a scorching beam at a very quick hit per microsecond rate. I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that when the beam touches the enemy there is atleast a one second delay before the next hit is registered.  

The second thing I'am trying to figure out is that how I can make it so that when the beam is aimed downwards and the collision box touches the ground, it creates all the effects exactly like the same way the beam reacts when hitting an opponent.

Lastly how do I make the screen flash white entirely when a collision box registers a hit to either player or the ground.


P.S:I'am manipulating the values of the variable Var but they seem to have no effect to the overall attack. What is the function of Var in this piece of code.

[Ryon]

i find this VERY EXTREMELY useful.

this is something i should implement to my Kid Goku, since he has controlled it once as a kid.

[Cyanide]

So, you're posting someone else's code that you don't understand just yet? Moving topic to help, it's not code library material unless you can explain it.

All var(0) is doing is controlling the direction of the beam. Var(10) appears to have no real purpose because i don't know what it's set to, or when it's set.

Due to the nature of that beam you could not stop the projectiles hitting again except in a rather over the top manner (hitflag = MA-) meaning only hit people who aren't in a hitstate which just wouldn't work.

As i'm pretty sure this is pextin's code, and i know that beam is pretty static really, clever scaling of a helper would give a better effect and be more controllable. Only issue would be that you have to change the anim via a change in anim rather than just angledraw.

[Ryon]

i've seen Pixteen's chars use this. and it sounds awesome. dont mind me.

[Cyanide]

Oh there's nothing wrong with it as far as it goes, it's just, it could be better and it didn't belong in code library because the OP didn't and couldn't explain how to replicate it.

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

its been a while now, and I retried coding this with Cynide's suggestion. Since Cynide suggested to do this outside PMing, I decided to revive this thread in hopes of getting this solved once and for all.

This is in testing phase to see what works. There is an error however.

Would appreciate help knowing what went wrong.

[2OS]

Post Statedef 1051 then

[-True-]

I see no explod, in the code.
the error is in the 1051 state. can you put 1051?

[Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷShadyƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ]

Probably your state 1051 problem. Post it in here.

[2OS]

Ok seriously ?

Two echos aren't needed thanks

Try that

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

Tried it. Its still giving the same error .

[Cyanide]

For the sake of troubleshooting. Please change the pos line to pos = 20,0

I know it's not what you're after, but if it still errors after that we can take a malformed equation out, or consider that there is an explod parameter required that you haven't added. Although i'm pretty sure you've got the only important ones already.

Also, please label your 2 explods slightly further with numbers

explod 1

explod 2

in the [] bit. Would be interesting to know if 1 or both are causing issues as they are both the same code.

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

I tried your modifications Cyanide, but it didn't solve the problem. Its giving the same error, only now it has the numericals labelling the explods.

[Cyanide]

Good. We can go a step further then

[State 1051, Explod 1]
type = Explod
trigger1 = Time = 0
anim = 1053
pos = -20,0
sprpriority = 5
;postype = p1
;bindtime = -1
;removetime = -2
;removeongethit = 1

Those 4 are parameters i always add by default. Uncomment 1, save it, test, repeat. Do this for explod 1 only. Would like to know if it removes it from the debug. If it does NOT remove it. Then we have exhausted options for fixing the explod. Delete the sctrl. Save the files, quit altogether, reopen, rewrite the code.

[-True-]

i test two sctrl of explods, and no give me error  (winmugen and mugen 1.0)

[Riptide]

The first two parameters, you include them because mugen will go buggy with out them?

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

Well, I have tried your second step, and there are no more errors, Cyanide.

However, when I execute the attack, the player disappears and there are explosions on his feet that blink very fast.
