Help with projectiles.

[JudaiZX]

I was editing MUGENHunter's Sonic into darkspine and i was giving him a projectile and when i went to test it out when the battle started an error showed up it says "Error parsing trigger1, 2 error parsing[State500, 1] error in [statedef 500] error in Neo_Sonic.cns character needs to be updated
. See docs/incompt*txt. error loading chars/darkspine/darkspine.def error loading p1" what am I doing wrong?

[Bastard Mami]

not posting the code

[BC]

you have 2 trigger1's which is fine but the second one seems to be the problem... post trigger1,2

[Rajaa Retired]

[state500, 1] ------------> [state 500, 1]
   incorrect                            correct

You need to post the code for the trigger issue.

[Bastard Mami]

dude, you left the trigger empty, also, that's one of the ugilest pieces of code I have seen in quite a while, what are you using to code ?

Fighter Factory
what the heck do I put in the trigger?

[BC]

if using fighter factory you can edit the sctrls to appear as necessary when double clicking them.. because i see alot of commented out lines and it wastes so much space....

this is the trigger thats giving an error

[State 0, Projectile]
type = Projectile
trigger1 =   <<<<< this is the problem, as Frederika pointed out...


i think you should read up more in the docs (sctrl.txt file) and look up projectile... also read trigger.txt as well located in mugen docs folder..

"what the heck do I put in the trigger?"

well when do you want the projectile to appear?

EDIT wait a min i see 2 projectile sctrls...... was that intentional?

because the first projectile is triggering on animelem = 4

[JudaiZX]

Now it shows a problem with "[State 0, projectile]" PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!!!!>

[Byakko]

Why don't you learn and try to look by yourself where it TELLS YOU WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. Just fix the problems one by one. and if you want help, you'll never get any if you don't even POST YOUR CODE.

The code is exactly the same execpt I filled the trigger in.

Look at the error again. And POST IT. We can't magically know what Mugen found, we have to know if it's still tripping on the same line or if it's something different.
The error message. It gives you a message. It tells you what the problem is. USE IT. If you just come in and say "it's not working, how do I fix it" then the problem is you, nobody will ever be able to magically find anything.

By the way I'm lying, a bunch of problems are visible right there. But you still have to be able to know how to find them out, otherwise you'll never make any progress.
For starters, "offset = 57,-22[State 0, Projectile]" you're missing a line break here after -22. And then you have a shitload of parameters you left empty.

trigger1 =
ProjID =
projhitanim =
projremanim =
projcancelanim =

You have to PUT SOMETHING here. You can't just leave that empty. How do you imagine Mugen will magically make up what should be there ? If you don't know what those are, look at the docs. They're here to help you. Use it.
