Can someone please help me get the p2 locator to work?

[Alexziq]

Sigh, this just keeps being an issue for me, and I need to understand why it isnt working.

Heres the states.

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; States that are always executed (use statedef -2)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Statedef -2]

[State -2, superjump opponent locator]
type = Helper
triggerall = (NumHelper(0) = 0)
trigger1 = (Pos Y < -200) && (P2Dist Y > 50)
ID = 0
pos = 0,-120
postype = p2
stateno = 910
facing = 1
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Super Jump opponent locator
[Statedef 910]
type    = A
physics = N
ctrl = 0
sprpriority = 2

[State 910, arrow]
type = ChangeAnim
trigger1 = IsHelper(0)
;trigger1 = TeamSide = 2
value = 9910

[State 910, destroyself]
type = DestroySelf
triggerall = IsHelper(0)
trigger1 = RootDist Y > 0

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heres the commands

;--------------------------------
;s-jump Up/Fwd
[state -1]
type = changestate
value = 700
triggerall = statetype != a
triggerall = ctrl
trigger1 = command = "superjump"
trigger2 = command = "superjump_fwd"

;s-jump bwd
[state -1]
type = changestate
value = 700
triggerall = statetype != a
triggerall = ctrl
trigger1 = command = "superjump_back"



All the animations are the correct numbers, and Superjump is state 700, this should work. I just dont get it. This is the 3rd time Ive ran into this, and theres never a definitive answer to how it ends up getting fixed. Anyone have an idea?

Please HELP

[O Ilusionista]

why do you use "trigger1 = IsHelper(0)" ? Try to give another ID to the helper.

Sadly Ive tried that as 1045, and 700. Doesnt seem to make a differance

[O Ilusionista]

This is because your helper is destroing itself right on the start:

[State 910, destroyself]
type = DestroySelf
triggerall = IsHelper(0)
trigger1 = RootDist Y > 0

Take rid of this sctrl and see if it appears

No doesnt make a difference. This is standard Scruffy template stuff, there must be some kind of ste Im missing or something. Its such simple code I cant see what thpough. heres the superjump code

Well I appreciate you trying to help 

[O Ilusionista]

Man....I've added the code you gave me, and it works perfectly




the only thing different is that I'm using it on a state -3 and not -2

[O Ilusionista]

Man, I was taking a look on this code...and it just works if your oponent doesn't move. Plus, its better to you use explods, they are lighter on RAM than Helper.

Here is new code, made by me:

;======================= Super Jump Enemy Locator by Ilu xD
[State -3, Blue/Red arrow]
type = Explod
triggerall = !NumExplod(9910)
trigger1 = Pos Y < -200 && P2Dist Y > 50
anim = 9910+(TeamSide = 1)
ID = 9910
pos = 0,-120
postype = p2
facing = 1
bindtime = -1
removetime = -1
ontop = 1
removeongethit = 1

[State -3, 1p/2p name]
type = Explod
triggerall = !NumExplod(9912)
trigger1 = Pos Y < -200 && P2Dist Y > 50
anim = 9912+(TeamSide = 1)
ID = 9912
pos = 0,-170
postype = p2
facing = (facing*-1)
bindtime = -1
removetime = -1
ontop = 1
removeongethit = 1

[State 0, RemoveExplod]
type = RemoveExplod
triggerall = NumExplod(9910)
trigger1 = P2Dist Y < 50
id = 9910

[State 0, RemoveExplod]
type = RemoveExplod
triggerall = NumExplod(9912)
trigger1 = P2Dist Y < 50
id = 9912

The anims:

9910 - the blue arrow (like on the previous pic)
9911 - the red version (for the p2)

9912 - 1p name explod
9913 - 2p name explod

If you want, you can add a arrow when p2 just too high

Feel free to comment xD

[Alexziq]

I will try it out later.

I just wonder if there are external factors that can keep it from working in the commands, its just bizarre because its such simple code. Hopefully though yours will work. There are some strange things in DCvM code that can make things complex. For instance I still dont understand how their hyper BG has differant lengths of time on screen all using the same state when every hyper has differant lengths

[O Ilusionista]

this is simply:

type = destroyself (or RemoveExplod)
trigger1 = stateno > 2999 (if 3000 and over are hyper states)
trigger2 = MoveType = H

I used the same trick on my EOH chars.

It works as a helper, and not an explod though, thats why its odd

So am I using the previous state 9110 for this? what attaches this to the Superjump, or maybe thats state 0??

Okay it does work, but theres one weird thing.

If I superjump it doesnt come on, it only comes on if I super jump, and then jump up another step in the air. Weird, theres something interfering with it from working but I cant tell from where. any ideas?

[Alexziq]

NEVERMIND!

I got it 

The problem was in the velocity, and movent, but its your code that helped me find it. The old SJ, was a up,up step type style superjump, It was screwing with the indicator.

Thank you for all the help O".

I put the arrow code in Black cat btw, just for fun
