Need projectile help here!

Yeah so here is the problem, if it hits them the explode animation appears fine, but when it contacts the ground it vanishes. I want it to explode, can I do this or do I need to turn it into a helper? Thanks in advance.

Yeah a helper is what you need. when i did it for one of my characters i just followed a method that pots used for his akuma when his air fireball hits the ground.

 

First add something like this changestate shown below into the state of the fire ball. Im not sure how you coded yours but im assuming its like mines. 1) i made a state for the character doing the move and 2) then i made another state for air fire ball animation itself. that air fire ball animation is where this code below will be to trigger that ground explosion.

 

[state XXX, End]

type=changestate

trigger1= pos y>=0

value=xxxxx;<----helper number of the explosion blast stuff

 

heres an example from my helper

 

 

[statedef xxxx];<---explosion blast stuff

type=A

physics=N

movetype=I

anim=xxxx;<-----blank image for helper

velset=0,0

ctrl=0

sprpriority=4

 

[state XXX, Trans]

type=trans

trigger1= 1

trans=addalpha

alpha=256,256

ignorehitpause=1

[state XXX, Pos]

type=posset

trigger1= 1

y=0

 

 

[state XXX, Dust]

type=explod

trigger1= !time

anim=xxxxx<---------animation could go here for the explosion. just adjust it a bit

ID=xxxx

sprpriority=-2

pos=0,0

vel=0,0

removetime=-2

ownpal=1

scale=.75,.75

pausemovetime=-1

supermovetime=-1

 

[state XXX, blast]

type=explod

trigger1= !time

anim=xxxxxx;<---------Or animation could go here for the explosion. just adjust it a bit

ID=xxxxx

sprpriority=-2

pos=0,0

vel=0,0

removetime=-2

ownpal=1

scale=.4,.4

pausemovetime=-1

supermovetime=-1

 

[state XXX, End]

type=destroyself

trigger1= !animtime

 

 

hope that helps

[Kanbei]
