Counter attack, but attacks the helper

[WastedCoder]

So basically, I have the first state made, but then I want, when Light is attacked, Ryuck to attack P2 instead of Light just teleporting behind. I can't understand how to make it. Because reversedaldef turns Light into Ryuk and teleports him behind p2. I am super new at coding. These are the states of the move I borrowed from the other char. All I need is to make Light stay where he is and Ryuk to trigger and play the animation I made in FF3.

[Trololo]

Simple, really. You'll need to:
-Make a ReversalDef that turns Light into "Gotcha!" state.
-Make an attack state for Ryuk, and make him react to Light's "Gotcha!" state (root, stateno).

[WastedCoder]

Thank you! I was thinking about such a thing but had no Idea how to do it, now I'm gonna try.

[WastedCoder]

Nah, I don't seem to understand how to do it. I'm reading it over and over again, I mean, The MUGEN Docs Master Thread, where everything is explained, but have no clue, what to use and how. I have no clue when do I use 'parent, helper, root' and all other things, like, it goes after "trigger" or what?... It would be nice If someone could, please, explain it to me with some more details.

Plus, I need some time to make an attack state for Ryuk, 'cause I'm not completely sure how to make it either. I made animations and now need to make it rush into the player2, enemy, basically, and then return to his normal position.

[Trololo]

Well, with how to make him RETURN back I can't help you. You could look at some version of CvS Nakoruru for that.
Now, "root" and "parent" are sub-triggers, that are used as parts of triggers FOR HELPERS to refer to something it WAS BORN FROM (Parent, it could not only be the player, but some different helper) or to the ROOT player. To understand this thing better you need to practice with it.
Is you want Helper to be triggered by something from its parent helper or the player itself, you use these sub-triggers correspondingly: "root, stateno" literally means, that the trigger for a thing in helper is root player's state. Meaning, Ryuk will use his attack when Light enters listed state.

[WastedCoder]

Okay, this is it for today. I spent the whole day trying to figure out, but for now I'm leaving it like this. I deleted attack state for Ryuk, since it needs a huge rework and I don't like what I've done there. Here is the code for Light that activates counter and then after he's hit sends him to the state 11131, which should activate Ryuk's attack state, but in-game debug says it "has no parent/root" depending on what I'm messing with(it doesn't see Light as a parent?) also I haven't figured out how to make the main Ryuk disappear while Ryuk-helper attacks the target. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I haven't given up and remade it. Now it works, at least somehow. I decided to choose the other way, so before I continue working on it, if you know how to improve it, so it doesn't look like it looks now, feel free to reply,
