Help with some Triggering

[The Lord of the Flies]

Ok, I'm in a helper's state, as you can see, its variable is equal to the Root variable, and I'm having trouble with these triggers:

[State 1021, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = MoveContact
trigger2 = var(6) = 1 && Time = 60
trigger3 = var(6) = 2 && Time = 83
trigger4 = var(6) = 3 && Time = 95
trigger5 = Parent, StateNo != 1020
value = 1023
ignorehitpause = 1

As of now, the only thing that happens, triggers 3 and 4 (when var(6) is 2 or 3) won't apply at all.

Any thoughts? If you need more info, please let me know.

display to clipboard the vars, the code does not seem to be wrong.

Ok, I found the problem I had. Clearly an obvious error.
But, you can help me with these other triggering:




[State 1032, Sparks]
type = Explod
trigger1 = MoveHit&&NumTarget
anim = 6010+(random%8)
ID = 6000
sprpriority = 5
postype = p1
pos = 10,-6
removetime =- 2
ownpal = 1
facing = -1
ignorehitpause = 1
persistent = 0
pausemovetime = 100
supermovetime = 100

That is for a Kaiser Wave, which we all know can hit up to 4 times. The thing is, I only succeed in making it trigger once, thus having no hitsparks for 2-4 hit count .

Here's the HitDef for the 4 hit Kaiser Wave, just in case:
[State 1031, HitDef]
type = HitDef
triggerall = var(7) = 4
trigger1 = Time % 1 = 0  ;HitDef
attr = S,SP
hitflag = MAF
guardflag = MA
getpower = 0,0
givepower = 0,0
animtype = Hard
fall.animtype = Back
priority = 5,Hit
damage = (100 - (uniqhitcount*30)),20
pausetime = 4,4
sparkxy = 10,-6
sparkno = -1
hitsound = S3,0
guardsound = S2,0
guard.sparkno = S6031
ground.type = Low
ground.slidetime = 26
ground.hittime  = 20
ground.velocity = -6.5, -4
air.animtype = Back
air.velocity = -6.9, -4.2
air.juggle = 3
air.fall = 1
down.velocity = -4,-6
down.hittime = 30
down.bounce = 0
envshake.time = 4
envshake.ampl = 4
palfx.time = 55
palfx.mul = 200, 200, 200
palfx.add = 100, 100, 200
palfx.sinadd = -120,-120,-120,10
fall = 1

[Bastard Mami]

are you 4 hits working properly, your current time% trigger is as good as writing trigger1=1 ?

about the explods just use movehit=1 as trigger.

[The Lord of the Flies]

Yes, the 4 hits work properly.

The only thing not working are the hitsparks, just spawning one of them.

Here's the entire coding:

[Cyanide]

you have persistent = 0 in the explod code, it won't trigger again. Change to movehit = 1 and remove persistent.

...And also needed to set it to "ignorehitpause = 1".

Thx!
