Improve "Danger" code

[Charles_2011]

Hello.

I´m testing a danger code, during battle works fine:



But there is an issue that I want to fix: If you win using an special that finish your oponent in one blow before the activation of the danger code the effect happens later, here:





Could you help me, please?

Here you have the code:

;===============================================;
; DANGER - FIRST CODE
;===============================================;

[Statedef 1]
anim=9999

[State -2, DANGER sound]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 = time = 0
value = F7880,1

[State -2]
type = Explod
trigger1 = teamside = 1
anim = F88111
Postype = left
pos = 0,0
bindtime = -1
scale=1.0,1.0
removetime = 51
persistent=0
sprpriority = -9999999999
ownpal = 1

[State -2]
type = Explod
trigger1 = teamside =2
anim = F88222
Postype = right
pos = -220,0
bindtime = -1
scale=1.0,1.0
removetime = 51
persistent=0
sprpriority = -9999999999
ownpal = 1

;===============================================;

[Statedef -3]

;===============================================;
; DANGER - SECOND CODE
;===============================================;

[State 0, danger]
type = Helper
triggerall = numhelper(1)=0
trigger1 = life <= 300
helpertype = normal
name ="danger"
ID = 1
stateno = 1
postype = p1

;===============================================;

I hope that you can help me to solve this.

You need to check for "alive" when creating the helper. Or use "life = [1, 300]" instead. You might want to check for a percentage of life instead of an absolute value, too, like "life <= 0.3 * lifemax".

Also using a helper for this is a bit wasteful. Unless the danger sign stays on screen the rest of the round.

Hello PotS.

First of all, thank you for the answer. I proved your recomendations but It doesn´t work. Could you provide me the entire code or a new one, please? Maybe I´m doing something wrong, I´m still learning on making improvements on characters.

I feel you need to learn a lot in mugen before starting any big projects. you seem to have a lot of good/interesting ideas, but constantly get stuck and make posts for help.

I look at some off these questions you ask and just think there so much resource out there that you can reference. Download Pots characters and learn from them.

Hello POTS.

I´ve been testing the code and I finally made it, indeed, the "Alive" text was necesary, this is the final code:

[State 0, danger]
type = Helper
triggerall = numhelper(1)=0
triggerall = alive
trigger1 = life <= 0.3 * lifemax
name = "danger"
ID = 1
stateno = 1
postype = p1

Thank you so much for your help and the references that you gave me.
