the target lifeadd will be wrong most of the time, it seems.

first, movehit =1 means that it will only trigger one tick after p2 has been hit, that does not seem to bode well with having to wait 100 ticks to trigger as well. and is not like a damage of 100 can kill most oponents.

[Cyanide]

No he wants it to do the damage 100 seconds (!!!!!!!) later.

Aside from 100 seconds being most of a fight, this can't be done in mugen. Poison attacks like this have a couple of big issues

1 they should always hit, full screen unblockable hitbox.
2 you can't damage p2 unless he's in a gethit state/custom state
3 to put him in a gethit/custom state you have to hit him first
4 hitting him at the 100 second mark with your unblockable full screen hitbox will knock him out of any move he happens to be doing.

You can't use a he was hit by X and will take damage later on because of this. Can't be done.

Bah didn't read code.

Reanswering, now with code reading abilities applied

100 ticks occurs probably not only after you've left the state but after p2 has stopped being a target as well. Your hittime is only 12 ticks. You need to keep p2 as a target before you can use targetlifeadd. If you leave the state your sctrl will no longer function as well. Some of my strikethrough shit does apply here.

[Bastard Mami]

yeah, code and concept don't go hand by hand, not to mention that 100 ticks is too short for poisoning and 100 seconds is too long for one round.

the way i would do this, is create a helper, then have said helper follow p2 and deliver the ending blow once the amount of seconds have passed.

[tetsuo9999]

Nvm its an helper that attacks more than once so it probably wouldn't work right..

[ZzEzZ]

well, if this helper attacks more than once, have it create an invisible helper that does the poison damage... so the helper that attacks more than once can go on about its business, and u still get your poison damage effect

Sort of like Reu's Evil Ryu once he has performed Denjin Hadoken on the opponent. He gets struck by lightning every 3 or 4 seconds.
