You should check /x instead of x. In other words, check for command!="holdx" instead of command="x"

In the herlper SCTRL isn't necessary either to check command=y, since is redundant (you'll stay in the state as long as you are pressing y).

i still get the same effect. it doesnt keep shoting while i holddown the key and it osent show where the sprite is exucting the shot.
here is my code and command.

my command:
[command]

command = $y
time = 1

;rapid fire

Triggerall = Command != "holddown"

will someone plz answer me.  ???

Dude it was ONE day....chill....

Personally, I've never seen the word "hold" used, usually there's a symbol instead. Maybe that's the issue, idk, look through the other cmd files of other characters to find out if there's any consistency or something.

You should check /x instead of x. In other words, check for command!="holdx" instead of command="x"

Doesn't seem like you were paying attention to this either, because if I were you, based off this, I'd have changed the "holdY" to "Y". I don't know if that would do anything, or if it was to be done backwards and you did it that way and it didn't change anything, but its not workin' now, so you've gotta do something different.

i hav post this ? on a different site and still haven't got a reply there for a week  and this code is based off mos of my attacks because i am trying to make a master chief. and  i don't undestand this hold x  thing if my command is the y button.

The X in commands is the X button scripted for the key configuation in MUGEN
