Command move problem

[AlumDixon]

I'm tryin to make a projectile throw with a certain command.
Here's the code:
[command]
Name = "hatthrow"
Command = ~B,F,x

It don't work though but If I put it like just back front without the ~ it works. I also tried it without the ~
Any help?

[bushinryu]

~ sign means neutral joystick position i think,it may be messing up with this kind of CMD back forward, not but if it is working without the ~ why dont you just leave it like this?

try ~20$B,F,x
(~20$B) = you have to hold back for 2 sec

or just make another cmd for Kung lao hat throw dude

good luck

[AlumDixon]

no i mean it back and forward is working without the ~ but doesnt work with it adding x

[Cyanide]

Lemme guess. A punch comes out instead? Change the order of your changestates. More complex commands, like this one should be above less complex command changestates, like X.

This is detailed in the FAQ as well.

Quote from the FAQ. My attack isn't coming out
The .CMD file is read from top to bottom. If you have the changestate for a more complex command occuring after a simple command the simple command will be read in. As such, the complex command will never be read. Order should be complex then simple.


Does that mean i gotta put it at the very top before x?

[Bastard Mami]

yes

[AlumDixon]

weird because the code is on top of x  and all the other single buttons. What else could be wrong?

[Bastard Mami]

there are two types of code, the par in which you define the command (that one does not matter) and the part where you put the changestate, that's the one in which order matters.

[Byakko]

I wonder if he even gave the correct triggers for the changestate.

[AlumDixon]

i did because if i put the move as Back and forward, it works perfect but adding a button doesnt.

[Byakko]

Then check E's (Frederica's) reply.

[AlumDixon]

Ill just post my full cmd. Might help more.

; 2. State entry
; --------------
; This is where you define what commands bring you to what states.
;
; Each state entry block looks like:
;   [State -1, Label]           ;Change Label to any name you want to use to
;                               ;identify the state with.
;   type = ChangeState          ;Don't change this
;   value = new_state_number
;   trigger1 = command = command_name
;   . . .  (any additional triggers)
;
; - new_state_number is the number of the state to change to
; - command_name is the name of the command (from the section above)
; - Useful triggers to know:
;   - statetype
;       S, C or A : current state-type of player (stand, crouch, air)
;   - ctrl
;       0 or 1 : 1 if player has control. Unless "interrupting" another
;                move, you'll want ctrl = 1
;   - stateno
;       number of state player is in - useful for "move interrupts"
;   - movecontact
;       0 or 1 : 1 if player's last attack touched the opponent
;                useful for "move interrupts"
;
; Note: The order of state entry is important.
;   State entry with a certain command must come before another state
;   entry with a command that is the subset of the first.
;   For example, command "fwd_a" must be listed before "a", and
;   "fwd_ab" should come before both of the others.
;
; For reference on triggers, see CNS documentation.
;
; Just for your information (skip if you're not interested):
; This part is an extension of the CNS. "State -1" is a special state
; that is executed once every game-tick, regardless of what other state
; you are in.


; Don't remove the following line. It's required by the CMD standard.

[Command]

Is the more normal way to do it. I shall assume that you've forgotten you deleted the changestate from your CMD before you posted it. As you have been using the move, perhaps you would care to add it back in where it's supposed to be?

[AlumDixon]

i added the ~ line again. The changestate is still there.
[State -1, hatspwn]
type = Changestate
value = 6000
triggerall = command = "hatspwn"
trigger1 = statetype = S
;trigger1 = statetype = S && ctrl
trigger1 = ctrl

[Bastard Mami]

slightly unrelated, never use statetype=S or statype =C, normally it's enough to use statetype != A then add a command = holddown check for crouching/standing attacks.

[Byakko]

The ~ only means "release the key". So the command will be recognized when you
-hold (for as long as you want) or just press back
-release the back direction
-hit fwd
-hit x
in that order.

The changestate is still there.

... Where "here" ? You put it in the middle of the taunt, after the block that goes

Mugen reads from top to bottom.
If you press back, forward, x, it will start reading the cmd file, find the block I just quoted, figure that you just pressed x, execute it, and never read the block that has

;Taunt
[State -1, Taunt]
type = ChangeState
value = 195

[State -1, hatspwn]
type = ChangeState
value = 6000
triggerall = command = "hatspwn"
trigger1 = statetype = S
;trigger1 = statetype = S && ctrl

because that block is after the previous one.
Move the hatspwn block above the "Stand Light Punch" block.

[AlumDixon]

holy fk it works. Thx very much. I thought i had to move the actual command for the buttons to get it right not the code of the change state. Thx again

[Cyanide]

Sigh, i missed the hat throw changestate.

Disappointing that what you've now done to make it work is what we've been telling you to do the whole thread and what's in the FAQ

My attack isn't coming out
The .CMD file is read from top to bottom. If you have the changestate for a more complex command occuring after a simple command the simple command will be read in. As such, the complex command will never be read. Order should be complex then simple.

As it seems this never penetrated properly, how would you advise it's reworded to be more understandable?

[Byakko]

This is the problem

weird because the code is on top of x  and all the other single buttons. What else could be wrong?

(he was only looking at the first part, it should be specified it's the statedef -1 that matters) And it's xhat E said afterward, this should have been the solution

there are two types of code, the par in which you define the command (that one does not matter) and the part where you put the changestate, that's the one in which order matters.

And I pointed it out again afterward too

Then check E's (Frederica's) reply.

So don't worry, the problem isn't you, it's alum2 who really didn't get it
