? about adding a special move to a charecter

[shin fuuma]

i have the coding from another (open sorce) charecter for a special move. how do i add this to the new charecter?
i have the new sprites done and an animation made. the problem i have is that the move im adding has the same state # (i think) as an existing move that i dont want to replace. i think it is state 1000 (im at work right now and will check for sure when i get home) i just want to know for sure "where" to add the code, and what else ill need to change.

thanks

[A!]

add it in the cns then the cmd

[grandma]

im having the same problem actually.  if someone could post an example of how to accomplish inserting a move into the cns/cmd i would very much appreciate it.

thanks for the suggestion but theres nothing in there that really addresses the prob im having. i really just need someone to show me exactly what parts of the character who has the move (in the cns and the cmd) and exactly where i need to put them in the cns/cmd of the character i want to transfer the move to.  frankenspriting isnt an issue, ive got that down.  i just need someone to walk me through the technical mumbo jumbo of cns/cmd.

If its the same statedef number, all you have to do is change it to a statatedef number that you are not using , and change the state number in the cmd

[shin fuuma]

ok here is the code i want to add:


from cmd:

[State -1, psychocrusher]
type=changestate
value=1000
triggerall=var(59)<=0&&roundstate=2&&statetype!=A
triggerall=(var(20)<=0&&(command="cbfx"||command="cbfy"||command="cbfz"))||(var(20)>0&&(comma

nd="bfx"||command="bfy"||command="bfz"))
trigger1=ctrl
trigger2=(stateno=[200,250])&&movecontact
trigger3=movecontact&&var(20)
trigger4=(stateno=[1000,3999])&&numhelper(stateno+5)&&var(10)<=3&&var(20)
trigger4=helper(stateno+5),var(3)

the big question is it has the same state def (1000) as an existing move that i want to keep. what do i need to change and where?

thanks

[shin fuuma]

Fallen_Angel, sorry i was typing when you posted 

do i need to change it in every spot in the cns and cmd? can you show me based on my last post?

EDIT: also do i add it at the end in the cns and cmd or do i need to put it in a certian spot?

[Error Macro]

IN the cns you can put it anywhere before Statedef - 3, and after The data stuff.

Lets say you added
[Statedef 1337]

In the CMD:

You would put something like this at the top of the CMD

[Command]
name = "WRYYYY"
command = ~D, DF, F, x+y

In statedef -1 (CMD)

You would put something like
[State -1, Hyper1]
type = ChangeState
value = 1337
triggerall = command = "WRYYYY"
trigger1 = Statetype != A && ctrl
trigger2 = (StateType != A) && (HitdefAttr = SC, NA) && (MoveContact)
trigger3 = (stateno = 200) && (MoveContact)
trigger4 = (stateno = 205) && (MoveContact)
trigger5 = (stateno = 210) && (MoveContact)
trigger6 = (stateno = 230) && (MoveContact)
trigger7 = (stateno = 235) && (MoveContact)
trigger8 = (stateno = 240) && (MoveContact)

[shin fuuma]

so.............

;========================<PSYCHO CRUSHER>=============================
[Statedef 1000]  i would need to change it here
type=S
physics=S
movetype=A
ctrl=0
anim=1000
velset=0,0
poweradd=60*!var(20)
juggle=ifelse((p2movetype=H&&p2statetype=A),15,5)

[State 1000, strengthvar] do i need to change it here as well?
type=varset
trigger1=!time&&var(59)<=0
var(10)=ifelse((command="bfz"||command="cbfz"),3,ifelse((command="bfy"||command="cbfy"),2,1))
[State 1000, strengthvarAI]
type=varset
trigger1=!time&&var(59)>=1
var(10)=ifelse(random<500,3,ifelse(random<666,2,1))

[State 1000, width] and here and so on?
type=width
trigger1=anim=1000&&animelemtime(4)>=0
value=20;55
ignorehitpause=1
[State 1000, push]
type=playerpush
trigger1=anim=1000&&animelemtime(6)>=0

[Fallen_Angel]

shin fuuma, you only need to change it in the statedef, the numbers in the [state #] are used only to identificate it you can put whaterever number its not going to make anything

[shin fuuma]

ok i only changed the animation # and the statedef # in the CMD and CNS from 1000 to 1010.
i get this error from mugen now:

Error message: Undefined command lable: "bfz"
if not misspelling in CNS, check CMD
Error parsing [state 1000, strengthxar]
Error in states/specials.st
Error loading chars/shingouki/shingouki.def
Error loading p1

library error message: Died parsing
ifelse((command="bfz"||command="cbfz"),3,ifelse((command="cbfy"),2,1))

[Fallen_Angel]

shin fumma that error its because you haven't made the bfz command to fix that you have to make it

[shin fuuma]

what do you mean i have to make bfz?? where do i do that? i thought that was what the code i was adding did??

[Fallen_Angel]

in the cmd of the char look for all these commands and copy them

"bfz"  ,    "cbfz",  "bfy"  , "cbfy"

[shin fuuma]

so in the cmd i need to copy the "psychocrusher" part and all the motions that have to do with that move........makes sence ill try this out when i get home

[shin fuuma]

cool that worked i have the move working now except for one small proble. when i do the move for the first time it leaves a copy of the stance behind (still animated) but it does not affect anything, its just there. if i do the move again it works fine and doesnt leave another copy. any idea what i may have done wrong??

thanks again to all for the help with this

[Fallen_Angel]

shin fumma the mistake is because maybe you havent put the statedef of the helpers

[State 1000, fx]
type=helper
trigger1=!numhelper(0)
trigger1=anim=1000&&animelemtime(6)>=0
helpertype=normal
stateno=1005
ID=1005
name="Psycho Crusher"
postype=p1
size.xscale=.5
size.yscale=.5
ownpal=1



[State 1000, flames]
type=helper
triggerall=movehit&&numtarget&&numhelper(7180)<1
trigger1=!(target,time)&&(target,movetype=H)
helpertype=normal
stateno=7180
ID=7180
name="Flames"
postype=p2
ownpal=1
facing=-1
size.ground.front=0
size.ground.back=0
ignorehitpause=1
persistent=0

make sure that you have thse statedefs 1005 and 7180, or try deleting the helpers, maybe you dont need them

[shin fuuma]

yeah i dont need them this was the first "sprite edit" i did about 2 months ago and i made the "fx" part of the normal animations  (i know better now ) this will get fixed when i get home tonight

thanks again for all your help!!

[shin fuuma]

well i tried removing both of the things you suggested but it still does the same thing (first time you use the special move it leaves a copy of the standing animation behind and after that it works fine) here is the code as im using it now.

i left in the 2 things you told me to take out because they didnt seem to affect anything and i wanted you to see the whole code   any other ideas what it could be???

[Fallen_Angel]

shin fuuma, maybe you need to make the statedef for the helpers

[State 1000, shield]
type=helper
trigger1=!numhelper(1007)
trigger1=anim=1010&&animelemtime(6)>=0
helpertype=normal
stateno=1007; you have to make the statedef 1007
ID=1007
name="Projectile Hitter"
postype=p1

maybe the  error is because you dont have the anim of the helper

[shin fuuma]

do you mean i need to add more code or the actual animations?

[Fallen_Angel]

do you mean i need to add more code or the actual animations?

I think that you need to add both

in the helper it says stateno = ###  ; thats the statedef that you need to make

[shin fuuma]

ohh, now i know what you mean
in the cmd there is a tab for "helpers" i put in the "phychocrusher" helper but didnt think to see if i needed anything else. i know i saw a "projectile hitter" and "projectile eater" and a few others i dont think i need but ill try this when i get home tonight. for the animation do i use "blank" sprites with clns boxes? reason i ask is a saw some in there and didnt know what they were for.

thanks again!

[shin fuuma]

i added the "projectile hitter" and a blank animation for it and it now works PERFECT!!!!

thanks for all the help Fallen_Angel!!! your the best
