Adding an Attack to a character?

[superbsaiyan]

I am using Fighter Factory to try to add an attack to a Ryu character I downloaded a while ago. I am just reusing animations already in the sff. I put in the states, and the commands and whatnot, but when I run mugen nothing happens when I use the command (D, DF, F, x) I put in the cmd file. Other than that the character works just fine, like the regular Ryu, so could somebody tell me why this added attack is not working.

I pretty much just coppied the Haduken code and changed a few values, this I added to the cmd file:
The Command

Code Select Expand


[Command]
name = "Added"
command = ~D,DF,F,x

The State -1 part:

Code Select Expand

;Added Hadoken
[State -1, Added]
type=ChangeState
value = 6000
triggerall = command = "Added"
trigger1=statetype=S
trigger1=ctrl

So why does nothing happen when I press down, down-forward, forward, x in game as this character. Is there some sort of extra compiling I have to do before saving it? Did I reuse an already in use command?(I don't think so)  Did I mess something up in the states or commands themselves?

Think it's gonna be one of 2 things.

1. Make sure you have an anim 1000 in your air file. If this is the problem, if you hold ctrl and press d in game, it should show a bunch of white text and when you try to do the move, it'll say "invalid animation 1000 in state 6000" or something like that.

2. In the cmd file, make sure that

    ;Added Hadoken
    [State -1, Added]
    type=ChangeState
    value = 6000
    triggerall = command = "Added"
    trigger1=statetype=S
    trigger1=ctrl

is above the normal attacks. Like your weak punch move which usually is just an x. Make sure the hadoken is higher up in the cmd file. Mugen gives priority to whichever comes first from top to bottom, so if your normal is above your special move, it's going to do the normal instead.

Those are the only two I can see right now, too groggy.

I think there might be something wrong with the window size or somethng, because i can't see all of the text that comes up on ctrl+d, but when I do that, i don't see anything about an invalid animation, as it is the same animation used for the already existing Hadoken. I also moved that part in the cmd, nothing changed.

[Cobra Caddie]

I don't know if I can help you with the debug text other than suggesting putting your Mugen screen at a standard window size, if it's not already set to one. Here's a few more things you can check:

- Check to see if you already have a state 6000
- Make sure you still put the command in statedef -1 when you moved it up
- This one probably isn't it, but make sure you're actually editing the right cmd file. Some characters have multiple cmd files. Also make sure you're saving it properly(I know this seems like a no brainer but I've personally done a bunch of no brainer stuff)

I usually edit stuff in notepad and not fighter factory so it could be an error with that. Someone who uses that program more might be able to point something out.
