A coding issue

[Lord Mike]

Hello. I find myself in the need for help with some coding issue i've been having.
I have this char that has a special fatal ko system. After 7 attacks that are "special" he has the opportunity to use a one shot kill move.
Now, the author enabled some of this specials in combos (you can normally chain 3 of these special attacks with valid effect on the fatal ko system, the rest of the hits will not modify it anymore), but i want to enable it for another combo that probably slipped him.
This system is coded through fvar(1). Which starts at fvar(1)=7, and decreases until fvar(1)=0, point in which you can perform that one shot kill i was talking about. I have searched through all 8 cns files and could not figure out how he modifies this setting, but couldn't find it anywhere. All i found was the initialization.
So, plan B, make the modification manually in the respective statedef, i added conditions and figure i could use a varadd:

Code Select Expand

[state ]
type=varadd
trigger1=movehit=1
fv=1
value=1
Obviously, this adds 1 to fvar(1)'s value, which is not good, and it's not what i want since fvar(1) decreases from 7 to 0, adding 1 would head me in the opposite way.
So i figured i could use value=-1, but nothing happened.
And this brings me to my question: how do i decrease fvar(1)?

Ctrl + F: fvar(1)

[Lord Mike]

Twas the first thing i've tried.
fvar(1) is only mentioned in statedef -3:

Code Select Expand

[[state ]
type=varset
trigger1=roundsexisted
trigger1=!roundstate
trigger1=var(1)&8388608
trigger2=fvar(1)>=7
trigger3=!roundstate
trigger3=var(1)&268435456
fvar(1)=7

[Rajaa Retired]

If that's the only mention of fvar(1), and there is no varrangeset or fvar(1):=blah, then I don't know how it's decreasing and preventing itself from being decreased.

Did you check the .cmd file?

[Lord Mike]

In the *.cmd file fvar(1) is mentioned in 2 nulled states.

[Rajaa Retired]

Post 'em.

What i wanna do is shown here: http://lordmikehnk.blogspot.com/2011/08/combo-error.html

But since i can't understand what is going on there, can't i decrease that fvar with my own set of triggers?

[Rajaa Retired]

That's how he's controlling the variables. Unlike what you thought before, the system isn't as simple as fvar(1), it's MUCH MORE complex than that. It's pretty impractical for me to try to decipher that because I don't know what each variable does. You'd need to sit down, retrace every variable you see there, and connect the dots. Well, maybe not every one, but a few of them.

fvar(1) := blah

That means to set the variable to whatever appears in the place of "blah."

Good luck with that.

[Lord Mike]

That's what i am trying. But that fvar(1) only shows in the bits i've posted, and except for that part in statedef -3, in statedef -1 it shows up in a null state.

The tracing part is what kills me. All his attacking states have a varset like that, with vars depending on vars depending on vars, and it's hard for me to trace and understand which is which and who does what and where...
For instance, this is a state that automatically decreases fvar(1) by 1 unit:

However, fvar(1) is not mentioned here...

[Rajaa Retired]

That's because it's primarily managed in the null states you posted. It probably has something to do with var(1). You're just going to need to study his system and figure out how things work. Nothing more to be said, really. =p

[Cyanide]

No. We cannot really assist with your overall desire. We can assist with bits of it. For example, as Rajaa has done, we can inform you that fvar(1) := is assigning values to fvar(1). However we cannot give you all the info.

As you trace things back we can help you with how to do that, or even how a specific varset is working, but you'll be doing most of it.

I would suggest to start, break down the fvar(1) := lines in the CMD to see what sort of values are being used. Pick some abitrary values for the variables already in there and run with it. You may have to break some things to figure it out.
