Helper Super Pause

[Acey]

I need some brain storming here:

I want my helper to move during my character's super pause, but to not move during the opponent's super pause... any ideas on how to solve this?

set on superpause "move" (or "movetime" cant remeber) = 60 (time),
and then add 60 ticks to char anim, if superpause happens on animelem = 2 and this frame time is 4 ticks, set it to 64.

helper is free to movement and it wil look like char are on superpause.

You could use a variable that activate only when your char is in any of the stateno that you use for the hyper moves. Then in the helper definition use something like this :

supermovetime = ifelse(var(10), N ticks,0)

I didn t try it, i just think this could work.

That was my first thought too, I tried each of the parts seprately earlier. Supermovetime doesn't like ifelse statements or variables it seems.

This could work. Then I can set the helper's general supermovetime = 0 then use this trick for the character's own hypers. I'll let you know!

That's what supermovetime is for. If you spawn the helper prior to the superpause it will be able to move through it. Using supermovetime won't allow the helper to move through the opponents pause regardless.

...Using supermovetime won't allow the helper to move through the opponents pause regardless.

That's intersting, because it is moving through the opponent's super pause. Also if I set the supermovetime = 0 then it stops moving during the opponet's super pause. Maybe this is another hidden mugen 1.0 present.

[Cyanide]

It shouldn't, otherwise you could bypass opponent superpauses by applying a long supermovetime from your own superpause.

FYI, the solution I implimented is as follows:

1) set the helper supermovetime = 0 in the sctrl that creates the helper. This means it will pause durring the opponent's hypers (as well as the parent's hypers).

2) Add a superpause sctrl in the helper's own statedef that triggers when the parent is in a superpause (in this case the activation of a hyper helper) and set the supermovetime = 60 (same time as the parent's superpausetime and supermovetime).

I hadn't know that you can use another superpause sctrl to adjust the helper's predefined supermovetime. Now I know!

Yeah, that'd be correct, apparently supermovetime is global, which is terrible.
