Question about a type of attack

[MUGENforever]

I want my character to do a flying punch straight forward across the screen.

I figured I would basically have him disapear and the projectile be himself flying across the screen, the problem I have is once he comes out of the state, he is back to where he was before launching the projectile.

Should I make this attack differently somehow?  I also have a spark to bind to him which I hadn't done and don't know if it will work if he himself is the porjectile.

How do I make my character do a flying punch across the screen?

Use a velset.. ???

[Cyanide]

type = velset
Click it.

The docs are your friend.

[Metal_Sniper_63]

you can just put velset on the statedef right after anim and that's it

[MUGENforever]

I was hoping to make it work sort of like blankas attack when he rolls straight across the screen, M. Bison Psycho Crusher is the best example of what I want to happen

he accelerates downwardif I give him a velset, its suppose to be in air attack and he has to go straight in the air, and if I add Y he jumps up then goes forward a falls at the same time.

An aireal psycho crusher is best example.

Did you read this? ???

Sets the player's velocity to the specified values. A positive x velocity is in the direction that the player is facing, while a positive y velocity is downward on the screen.

there are a few topics on coding an uppercut/shoryuken, read on those since the concept for the move is pretty much the same.

Let me Give you an example, because I don't think you understand. Take the dashed line as his motions.  When he is in the Air I want him to do this

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when I set an X velset, he does this

-
       -
               -
                       -
                               -
                                      -
                                             -
                                                    -

If I set an X and Y velset he does this
            -
     -             -
-                          -
                                  -
                                        -
                                              -
                                                   -

Get the difference?

[tetsuo9999]

Oh, i though you wanted a forward dashing punch.

there are a few topics on coding an uppercut/shoryuken, read on those since the concept for the move is pretty much the same. <-

[Bastard Mami]

yeah, i know what's going up and all, that's why i told you to check how the shoryukjen was coded; by the looks of it you have already coded it up to that point; the difference here is that you want your y vel to become 0 for a big part of the move; so guess waht, use a velset with Y = 0 for the part of the move in which you want him to fly straight. i.e. the move should be split in 3 parts, start up, fly straght and fall down.

[MUGENforever]

so guess waht, use a velset with Y = 0 for the part of the move in which you want him to fly straight. i.e. the move should be split in 3 parts, start up, fly straght and fall down.

the move is to be activated in the air and he is to go straight forward with a fist across the screen...

[Cybaster]

That really doesn't change anything to what Reika said :
the move should be split in 3 parts : start up while in the air, fly straight and fall down.

[MUGENforever]

So I need to split up my animation into three parts as well right?  Right now I have the whole punch (3 images) in one animation.

[Cybaster]

Yeah, exactly.
Use 3 animations : one for the part where he's in the air and prepares to strike, the part where he actually moves in a horizontal way, and the part where he falls down on the ground.

[MUGENforever]

He does the first animation then falls straight down...
Skipping 1051 was intentional.

[Fallen_angel]

If I remember well you should change the type =A to type =N.....or try adding a  little vel on y like -1 to avoid going down

[Bastard Mami]

yeah, you either use  physics =N or a constant velset for Y=0, i suggest the physics bit.

[Cyanide]

Try time = 10 as well.

Animtime = 10 means end state 10 ticks before end of animation.
