Helper Coding

always wanted to know how to code a helper. well look no further.

[statedef 3000]
type = S
physics = S
movetype = A
anim = 1000 ;animation of the move itself
ctrl = 0

[State 3000, Helper] ;state number is an example
type = Helper
trigger1 = animelemtime(3) >= 6 ;any trigger you wish, mine activates when frame 3 is more or equal to 6 gameticks passed.
helpertype = normal ; or player
name = "hadouken super" ;give it a name, required.
ID = 3000 ;give the helper its own ID for use in AI or stating which helper ID you need
stateno = 3001 ;has to differ from the current state, this will be the helpers state.
pos = -15,-34 ;whateverposition you require. this was random.
postype = p1 ;p2,front,back,left,right
facing = 1
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 0
supermovetime = 99999
pausemovetime = 99999 ;remove pausemovetime, if activating when using superpause

[state 3000] ;ends the current state.......required
type = changestate
trigger1 = !animtime
value = 0
ctrl = 1

now what is required to code it in the state it appears in which is stateno = 3001



[statedef 3001]
type = A ;type is A because its a fireball and its not on the ground.
physics = N ;physics is neutral to stop it falling to ground level
movetype = A ;attack
anim = 3001 ;animation of the projectile
velset = 5,0 sets X velocity to 5 moving it fast across the screen toward p2
ctrl = 0

[state 3001]
type = nothitby
trigger = 1 ;1 means it happens all the time
value = SCA,NA,SA,HA,NP,SP,HP,NT,ST,HT
time = 999 ;give it enough time

adding a nothitby to your helper means your helper cant be hit and turned into your character causing a glitch.



NOW ADD A HITDEF TRIGGERING TIME > 0 OR WHATEVER YOU REQUIRE
You can add the hitspark as the fireball spark if the spark in your animations is anim 3002 for example add, sparkno = S3002


after the hitdef add a destroyself


[state 3001]
type = destroyself
trigger1 = ;the trigger is up to you, you can destroy the hadouken after 1 hit so use movecontact or after more, thats why you use time > 0 in the hitdef so you can have infinate hits, so to destroy it after 10 hits use hitcount = 10 as the trigger.

make sure you have a red collision box on all the fireball frames.



hope this helps. code by Me.

hey, thanks for the code . this might be helpful to me.

I think I made a mistake with the coding
I used the attack and all the characters apeared above me... it always happens when I try to code it...
