Snap Issue

[kargon]

In hitdef, is there a way to force the opponent to snap a specific distance from the point of contact than from the attacker? I've tried snap = 200, for example, and all it does is force the opponent, on hit, to snap his root to 200 from the attacker's root. Instead, I want him to snap 200 away from the point of contact, so if the roots are 150 apart, and I want him to snap an additional 200, he would end up 350 away from me.

Also, can this be done on guard as well? Force the opponent X units away from you.

Thanks!

I guess basically a PosAdd for P2 on hit or guard?

The docs recommend using targetbind for that, but if snap works for you, go ahead.

The formula is simple. Just add p2dist x to 200.

snap = floor(p2dist x + 200)

Thanks! I'll give it a try and report on the results!

You may need some "Facing" math in there. +200 may not work if the character is pointed the wrong direction on the wrong side. Especially if you're using helpers like it sounds like. But the idea is correct.

The move guarded may be possible by setting the x velocity with some tricky math. I think my Ibuki does something similar. But getting it to SNAP there, I doubt it.

Use TargetBind instead of snap

Is there a way to get the current distance of the players and then add an additional amount? That way I could always have the desired effect of pushing the opponent back an additional X amount.

I made a pretty complete post. It may be in Mugen Class... let me try and track it down.

wait, do you mean without helpers involved? p2dist x and p2BodyDist X. Both are explained in Mugen Class. But P2Dist is probably exactly what you want.

Thanks a ton!
