Help with charge moves

[Kev The Galaxybender]

I
m trying ot make it to where you don't have to hold the charge for very long. Normally you would do this in the CMD, for example........

if a move was this..........

45$B, $F, x

you would just change the 45 to something smaller.

ok, now this one character I have, his commands were......

$B,F,x

so it doesn't tell you how long you need to hold the charge, but the charge is like 3-4 seconds, I tested it in game, so I decided to try and add numbers in front of the command like such

20$B,F,x

and

20$B,$F,x

but the charge time doesn't change. So what do i need to do to change the charge time?

[Scar]

~20$B,F,x

Just change the 20 to whatever time you want..

[Kev The Galaxybender]

~20$B,F,x

Just change the 20 to whatever time you want..

when you change the number, nothing happens. there was not a number there to begin with so i'm not sure how time was measured in the first place

[Fallen_Angel]

maybe you have to edit the statedef (in the cns), probably it has a changestate that works for certain period of time

here is some code of the mentioned move..........

where do I edit the timing. I can't find anything that looks like time

just check the animtime (its still a time control), and adjust them to your likeness (also the first changestate has other triggers remove them if you want)

[Kev The Galaxybender]

say if I want a 1 second charge? What exactly do I change that to??? I've been messing around with it but I don't understand what I need to change it to

[Fallen_Angel]

using the code you provide you have to adjust the time of the animation (in the air), the charge is using three different animations, so you have to edit all of them....or you can change the trigger

I would like to change the trigger itself, sounds like it would be easier, and i know I'm being a big pain in the butt, but only because I've never done this before and I'm trying to learn. But could you walk me through it of you will? If not, it's ok, I'll have to try to figure it out.

[Fallen_Angel]

There are a lot of ways to solve your issue.....you could use whaterever trigger you want, just make sure, to delete the ones that the char already has (for test purpose), use trigger1 = time >=20 (again these is only for testing purpose, you will need to edit the number to your likeness)

Don't PM people to help you make personal edits of characters. Thanks.

Don't PM people to help you make personal edits of characters. Thanks.

actually I'm trying to learn how to do my own, just using someone else's code to practice on, which is ok with the creators and I've been doing this for a while, so no need to be a jerk. If you don't want to be bothered just say so and don't come here trying to be super man trying to check someone
