support char's own set of damage poses?

[sgn15]

so i want my char to call helper chars that has stance that changestates into attacks, walk, and 1 damage pose (simple hitoverride). it dies when its hit 3 times consecutively.

is it possible to make my helper have its own multiple damage poses? to explain this, i mean when p2 hits my helper char with an attack that has ground.velocity = -5,-15 and fall = 1, my char will really fly up then fall to the ground when successfully hit by that particular attack. so yeah, is it possible to make hit, lie down, fall up/diagonal/down, get up poses for my helper char?

i coded my helper as type = normal.

any help?

edit:
do i need to post the whole codes of my helper states?

[Cyanide]

Not at all. Your hitoverride state should be movetype = H

you can then use gethitvar to define what you want the helper to do in his hitstate. Use a variable to count the number of times you enter the state.

[sgn15]

1. not at all possible? then by using your method, what would the use of hitstate be other than going back to the helper's stance state? even if i can use change anim (like for example to "flying up" pose), i have to use velset for going up and velset for falling down the ground then changestate or changeanim to get up state or anim before going back to stance? sorry if its hard to understand. im also confused myself. so does that make sense and possible?

2. or i thought of another way but i dont know if its possible, so please answer if this is possible too. so i use the common1 file for my char so i can edit all states in it. then i send the helper to the hitstates (5000 and above) then just changeanim to the custom hit anims of my helper when ishelper(ID) ? my problem is the different triggers for hitoverride that should depend on the fall, ground.velocity and air.velocity of the hitdef of p2. how about this method? also impossible?

[Cyanide]

D'oh. No i mean

do i need to post the whole codes of my helper states?

Not at all

There. That's that out of the way. You don't need to do anything at all fancy like mess with state 5000.

Simply give your helper a hitoverride to a special hitstate. So it will have movetype = H. While you are movetype = H you can use GetHitVar triggers to detect what sort of thing has hit you. For example

type = velset
trigger1 = gethitvar(xvel) <= -5
x = -10
persistent = 0

Open mugen\docs\triggers.html and look up gethitvar, it takes a large number of hitdef arguments.

[sgn15]

oh ok. i think i got the general idea now.

but where will i put that velset with gethitvar trigger? i was thinking of putting those in statedef -2 with ishelper(ID) trigger. because i think its the same as putting all possible velsets in each of the helper's states?

and if the attack has just 0,0 as ground.velocity and has fall = 1, i would just use gethitvar trigger to the hitoverride itself so the helper will fall down?

and then the "lie down" and "get up" state/anim would be just one state/anim that goes back to helper stance state?

so did i get the idea right?

[Cyanide]

No, it all goes in that special hitstate. It's a SPECIAL hitstate. You make the helper go there when hit with hitoverride

And helpers have no access to state -2.

[sgn15]

ok. i have some issues

for y velocities, how do i make the helper go down to the ground and then either changestate or changeanim to the lie down then get up before going back to stance state?

if i use velset, then i need a fix value when he will stop going down?

edit: and so i can use changeanim inside that special hitstate?

[Cyanide]

It's a helper. You can make it do what you like. Including defining all your own hit states and behaviour. There is nothing to stop you giving it 600 states to make use of.

Helpers are just another version of the player. That's all. The only things they cannot do is access state -2 and -3.

[sgn15]

oh ok. got it.

this question is about helper of a helper. so this helper char that i summoned (the one with stance, attack, walk, lie down, etc) can call a helper that is a weapon. this weapon helper stays and is binded to the parent helper char. this weapon helper has stance, attack and damage anim also.

what is a good way to sort of make a small transformation for the helper char without using variables? so the situation is like this:
the helper char summons the weapon helper. then the weapon helper stays there, until it (weapon) gets hit twice in a row or by random (since i dont want to use button commands as triggers for calling them in and out). helper char can use the weapon to attack of course.

[Cyanide]

Redirects.

trigger1 = Root, command = "a" and both helpers can pick up on it. Then changestate accordingly. Bindtoparent will also be your friend for the sword.

Also, i highly recommend looking up any trigger or sctrl i mention in the docs.

[sgn15]

huh? i said i dont want to use buttons/commands as triggers.

is using random<# trigger a good idea for that ? i cant think of a good situation to use as trigger other than use the random (since the helper char is sort of like a char not being controlled by me once i summon it)

also another question regarding the random trigger. if i want the random to be between 20 and 30, does using random>19 && random <31 mean that exactly?

[Cyanide]

Yes.

(random = [20,30]) would also be acceptable.

[sgn15]

that random shortcut doesnt work so i use the expression with && instead.

and can you tell me how to use variables in this situation:
so i want to call helpers by groups (each group of different helpers are summoned at once). i have IDs for all different helpers. i just want one single state for summoning all of them but i want it to be random which group of helpers will be summoned when i use that helper-summoning state.

i dont want to use tons of numhelper(ID)<1 in one trigger only. i have to do this for many helpers

[sgn15]

no replies?
anyway i found out varrandom would solve that last problem i posted

and back to the helper's own damage states. i tried to make a generalized system of states for all helpers that will have this feature. i havent added the changeanim (trigger1 = ishelper(ID) ) for every helper.

i havent tested it yet as i cant right now. but is this correct so far (lacking the changeanims as i said)

so the helpers are defeated permanently (and go to lie dead anim/state permanently) by hitting them 3 consecutive times. im not sure if the 3 stand hit states and the other hit states will have problems when p2 uses a combo on the helper. (thats why im posting here for opinion of more experienced coders to check)

so please comment and tell me if this is correct

Not checking it. If it works good, if it doesn't you should be able to find out by testing the failing situation in Simul and Vs. We don't error check code that's not giving errors, that's silly.

[sgn15]

no not check as in putting them in a char cns file and adding anims and stuff to try in mugen. i mean by looking at the codes themselves, are they ok? and i can use those same states for all helpers (like i wanted when i made those) ?

just add this to all states and per helper

[State 0, Changeanim]
type = Changeanim
trigger1 = ishelper(1)
value = ###

also looking at the states again, i guess i can use merge "lie down" and "get up" states into 1 state since "lie down" automatically changes to get up after animtime.

so are the codes logically/correctly made?

EDIT: and i still want to ask again, is it good to make 3 stand damage states (for combos to kill the helpers) and also different damage states depending on the xvel, yvel and fall parameters of p2's hitdef?

i plan to add blue clsn to only the 3 stand hitstates' anims so the helper isnt hittable during flying up, flying down, lie down, get up and lie dead.

Look if you add them and they work, and i assume they do, then we don't NEED to check it. And we're not going to. You know what you've coded. We don't need to know or really approve of it unless it's not working.

You tell me it's broken, i will happily read through and try and point out the bit that's not working. If it is working i am not reading your code because that is a waste of time.

i have this hitoverride in all of helper's states (stance, walk, etc)

[State 0, hit by]
type = HitOverride
trigger1 = movetype = H
attr = SCA, NT, ST, HT, NA, SA, HA,NP,SP,HP
stateno = 1010
time = -1

the same hit states in my last post.

problem. when i hit the helper, it becomes a clone of my char (p1) using any kind of attack

EDIT: i have added changeanim strl with ishelper(1) to all hitstates. (my helper's ID is 1)

like this:
[State 0, ChangeAnim]
type = ChangeAnim
trigger1 = ishelper(1)
value = ###
;elem = 1
;ignorehitpause =
;persistent =

[Cyanide]

trigger1 = movetype = H

You're not in a hitstate when you're hit though. Try trigger1 = 1
