Explod Problem

[BC]

Using Hi-res sparks so coding via explod (Thanks to Anjel for helping with half the problem but one still remains)


2 hit basic attack: Ryu's over hand punch


ok works as normal http://img32.imageshack.us/i/pic1f.png/   (First hit)

but sometimes when doing the move at a certain distance stand straight after the 2 hits have been done.....

http://i44.tinypic.com/65wtbs.png  no spark shows is this because hitcount 2 is showing still? and persistent is added

EDIT: i removed persistent (and of course it plays persistently but i wanted to see if that was the cause)
same problem still. i could record a vid if necessary but i think the pics should be enough to see the problem.

When you get too far away the move probably hits at animelemtime(6) = not 1. The triggers shouldn't be so restricted.

[Rajaa Retired]

trigger1 = animelemno(0) = 5
trigger1 = target,time = 0 ; you shouldn't need this anyway due to "persistent = 0."

Replace "animelemtime(5 & 6) = 1" with that.

ok i tried that(if ive added it the wrong way please let me know) i left movehit in and nothing happened.... i kept the same triggers for the second explod but it was showing both explods on the first hit so i changed the animelemno to 6 for the second and it works but...... im still getting that problem (more noticable on the second hit)

@ PotS what triggers would you recommend that would make them less restricted?

This works BUT not at distance for both (taking into account what pots said about animelem time being wrong) any ideas?



EDIT2: sorry for the long post but some progress.......


hit 1 no longer doesnt show at range it works fine both hits show now, BUT if hit 1 misses(by being too far) hit 2 plays the first spark...... which is out of position and meant for hit 1.

use animelemno(0) = X && movehit =1 for the first one and   animelemno(0) = Y && movehit =1  for the second one.

[Noctis]

If this wasn't figured out already I was going to suggest using something like this.

trigger1 = (HitCount = 1) && (MoveHit)

and for the second hit add another explod/helper but make it like this

trigger1 = (HitCount = 2) && (MoveHit)

and so on...

If the second explod/helper is in a different state then just leave it at HitCount = 1.
I use this all the time and it always works fine.

[BC]

"trigger1 = (HitCount = 1) && (MoveHit)

and for the second hit add another explod/helper but make it like this

trigger1 = (HitCount = 2) && (MoveHit)"


Tried that, works fine untill you miss with the first hit, and hit with the second it ends up playing the first explod.

use animelemno(0) = X && movehit =1 for the first one and   animelemno(0) = Y && movehit =1  for the second one.

This works  but still has that ocassional hitspark miss (more rare this time) but still there...






here is also a video  at 5 & 13 seconds it happens (first part hits but 2nd hitspark plays and when the second hit connects no hitspark plays because it already has)

Why not split up the attack? I know it's just more time consuming, but it's faster then trying to figure out what to do right now.

Edit:
I just tried something and I think it might work. For the first hitspark I added a AnimElemTime(?) < 0 right before the Movehit and removed the (Hit Count = ?). Make the first ? the animation that's right after the first attack and make the second ? the animation right before the second attack.

trigger1 = (AnimElemTime(?) < 0) && Movehit

And for the second hitspark make it like this...

trigger1 = (AnimElemTime(?) > 0) && Movehit

I tried it for one of my attacks and it works...

Edit:
Nevermind...
I tested it out some more and it doesn't work. If the first hit hits the opponent, but the second hit misses the second hitspark still plays. I tried playing with some hitcounts too and it still didn't work.

[BC]

lol, shouldn't have to do this though..

you mean keep the first frames and the first hit in one state and make a new state with the 2nd hit and the final frames, yes i did think about doing that, i just dont like doing things the unessecary way.

[Noctis]

That's why I didn't suggest it at first, but it's what I would do if there aren't any other options left.
Unless you can work it out with vars.

[BC]

ya know what rather than scratch my head all day i've gone with the whole 2 states thing and split the move up...... works fine now everyone (which i knew it would) but seems unecessary though right?....... i mean i hope i dont get these same problems later on as ryu has alot of multi hit moves 

[Noctis]

Sorry I couldn't be of help. At least it's working now though. Even though it's the easy way.

[BC]

thanks for the help and everyone else.

if anyone does find a better method please let me know

[Rajaa Retired]

I don't know why none of the suggestion worked before. That was a funny problem.
