How to make a helper show in front of another helper

[Alexziq]

Okay so I have a helper that jumps out, but triggers a 2nd helper animation. Whats happening is the 2nd helper is showing up behind the 1st helper, and I want the opposite effect. I want the 2nd helper to be in the front, and helper #1 to be behind it.

What am I missing?

sprpriority or something along those lines

[Alexziq]

Yeah I know thats a factor, but no matter how I adjust it doesnt make a differance. Could anybody share an example of how it should be set up in the superiority? keeping in mind they should both be in front of p1

Post an image of whats going on because I don't fully understand your current problem.

That would help me to understand better.

I've delt with this. What I did was use sprpriority 2 for the first helper, sprpriority 3 for the second I believe. Now, I might be remembering what I did wrong, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll recheck what I did with my Giro-san char (don't have my flash drive w/ me atm).

[Alexziq]

I'll try it after work, Im not sure if I tried it with a 2, then 3, so this might work.

Just use a sprpriority that's higher than the first helper. Valid priority levels are -5 to 5.

See that doesnt seem to work for some reason, unless Im missing something.

I wonder if its because its a strikers helper?

It's strange.. my helpers were all strikers...

The character I'm referring to is Giro. He calls out Zack and Beach at the same time, and it worked perfectly there:

These were the call helper scrtls:

[State 2100, Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = time= 0
helpertype = normal ;player
name = "Zack"
ID = 3
stateno = 2002
pos = 0,0
postype = back    ;p2,front,back,left,right
facing = 1
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 0
ground.type = High
ground.slidetime = 12
ground.hittime  = 15
ground.velocity = -5.5
air.velocity = -2.5,-4

[State 2100, Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 = time= 0
helpertype = normal ;player
name = "Beach"
ID = 4
stateno = 2001
pos = -80,0
postype = back    ;p2,front,back,left,right
facing = 1
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 0
ground.type = High
ground.slidetime = 12
ground.hittime  = 15
ground.velocity = -5.5
air.velocity = -2.5,-4


And these were from both of their indiviual statdefs:

[StateDef 2002] ; Zack Runs
type = S
movetype= A
physics = S
juggle  = 1
ctrl = 0
anim = 2002
poweradd = 20
sprpriority = 2
velset = 0, 0

[StateDef 2001] ; Beach Runs
type = S
movetype= A
physics = S
juggle  = 1
ctrl = 0
anim = 2001
poweradd = 20
sprpriority = 3
velset = 0, 0

Zack's sprpriority was 2, while Beach's was 3. Both strikers had their helper scrls in the same Giro parent statedef. The only difference was that Beach had a further back start position than Zack in the helper strls.

Heres what I have

[state 8999, PLANT]
type = helper
trigger1 = AnimElem = 4
helpertype = Normal
name = "IVY PLANT"
id = 89989
postype = P1
size.xscale = 1.5
size.yscale = 1.5
stateno = 89989
ownpal = 1
facing = 1
sprpriority = 2
bindtime = -1



[State 8999, 1]
type = Helper
trigger1 = Time = 0
trigger1 = facing = -1
trigger1 = numhelper(8999) = 0
helpertype = normal
name = "IVY"
id = 8999
postype = right
facing = -1
sprpriority = 3
pos = 0,0
stateno = 8998
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 1

The plant should show on top, but it doesnt 

[Luis/Dshiznet]

make ivys sprpriority 2, and the plants 3 dude.

[Alexziq]

make ivys sprpriority 2, and the plants 3 dude.

No change 

[Alexziq]

Ah I found the problem, I forgot I had used this same code for another character, and added this added state

[State 8998, 3]
type = SprPriority
trigger1 = Time = 0
value = -5

It was interfering with the other sprprioritys

Congrats, I hate it when it turns out to be double code.
