Creamy_Goodness

> Alright, I'm ready to release what is possibly the final beta version of my Creamy Goodness MUGEN character; Version 0.2.2. Keep in mind that the sprites are temporary and will be replaced be the real ones in the first official release. After the new sprites are applied to Creamy, he will have a longer reach, and will be able to hit his opponents more easily. > From Creamy's readme... ---------- Story > Jason "Creamy Goodness" Tenn is the lead fighter in the Independent Circuit of Netizen Rage. Because of his love for a large variety of sweets, he uses candy-based weaponry to battle his opponents in the arena.

(9/28/2019) Known bugs/issues - Some of Creamy's attacks have insufficient reach to hit his opponents. However, this issue will be fixed in Version 1.1 when Creamy's temporary stickman sprites are replaced with the actual, finalized sprites. - Opponent can air recover from the HP grab combo (811) after the second hit, making it possible for them to avoid the super cancel into the Hypercane 3-Pack (3100). - Candy cane jumpslash (242) is unable to hit opponents who are lying down. - Some opponents can attack Creamy after getting hit by his power slide (244) before Creamy can recover. However, I plan to add an optional backwards roll while Creamy is lying down right after the slide, so that he can avoid such attacks. ---------- > The (possibly) final beta version of Creamy - http://creamyg.jdluke.com/Projects/MUGEN/Characters/Creamy_Goodness/CGX_Creamy/CGX_Creamy(v0.2.2).zip

> What, it's been over a month and not a single reply? Come on people, I need some feedback here.

> At long last, after four and a half years since the release of the very first beta version of my Creamy Goodness MUGEN character, I'm ready to release the second major beta version of the character, Version 0.2.1. This time around, I've added Creamy's ultimate attack, the Jawbreaker Jamboree, which is a gigantic multi-layered projectile that explodes every time it bounces and loses layers until it's reduced to its core. I've also added the Skittles Rush, which is Creamy's alternate state that increases his walking and running speed by half again, and gives him unlimitted access to his EX attacks and Level 1 supers when his health is below 250 hit points. If there is a Version 0.2.2, it will consist mainly of bug fixes, and will be the character's final release before Version 1.1, which will be the first official release. Version 0.2.1 updates... - Added Jawbreaker Jamboree ultimate attack (5/24/2019) - Added Skittles Rush alternate state (6/3/2019) > Link - http://creamyg.jdluke.com/Projects/MUGEN/Characters/Creamy_Goodness/CGX_Creamy/CGX_Creamy(v0.2.1).zip

@PlasmoidThunder > Thanks for your help, but I think I found the answer I was looking for. I went back to my original code, and all I had to do to fix the triple damage issue was make a minor change to one line. I simply changed "value = gethitvar(damage) * 3" to "value = gethitvar(damage) * -3", and that did the trick. As it turns out, my original code wasn't multiplying the damage taken from a hit by 3, but instead taking the original hit's damage, multiplying it by 3, and ADDING the product to the health. Changing 3 to -3 fixed that problem. I don't think that's the fix you had in mind, but it worked for me. I think I can now finally mark this thread as solved, and thanks again for your help.

@PlasmoidThunder > Actually, the thread you linked to was one of the MFG posts I came across while looking for help on this problem, but at the time I considered it to be too complicated for me to follow, so I dismissed it as useless. However, after your post, I took a another look at the post after you linked to it, but this time, I went through the coding line by line, and tried my best to understand what each line meant. From what I was able to understand, I came up with my own version of the coding and applied it to my character... > During the attack that bears the weak spot, I set Variable 4 to match the character's hit points on the first frame of the animation, in order to record how much health he has before he could get hit... [State 3500, Variable Set] type = VarSet trigger1 = AnimElem = 1 ;kicks in when animation reaches its first frame var(4) = life ;Sets Variable 4 to current number of hit points ---------- > In State -2, under the section that handles weak spots, I changed the LifeAdd state controller to the following... [State -2, Triple Damage] type = LifeAdd trigger1 = var(3) = 3 ;Result of Variable 3 getting set to 3 trigger1 = MoveType = H ;Creamy must be in Get Hit move type value = (var(4) - life) * -3 ;HP before hit, minus HP after hit, times -3 ;^Creamy takes triple damage when hit.^ ---------- > The changes I made to my character's code are not working because he now takes zero damage when the weak spot gets hit. After some testing of the code, I've concluded that for whatever reason, the health is not reducing since Variable 4 was set to the number of HP, meaning "var(4)" is still equal to "life" when the triple damage is triggered. This means that var(4) minus life equals zero, and zero multiplied by anything equals zero, which is why the health didn't budge. My question now is how do I make sure that life is lower than var(4) when LifeAdd is activated?

PlasmoidThunder - "So I'm guessing this isn't working then? You didn't exactly ask a question." > I'm basically asking what the proper syntax is for making a character take triple damage. Right now, I'm using "value = gethitvar(damage) * 3" in the LifeAdd state, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. ---------- PlasmoidThunder - "While not necessarily the answer to your question, using the intro to set a variable isn't reliable since it can be skipped, whereas the round initialisation state (5900) is always processed." > OK thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

> I'm trying to produce a weak spot on my Creamy Goodness character, where he will take triple damage if hit during certain frames. I set aside Variable 3 in order determine when the weak spot is activated; 1 meaning Creamy takes normal damage, 2 meaning he takes double damage, and 3 meaning he takes triple damage. During the intro, Variable 3 is set to 1 in order to ensure Creamy takes normal damage at the start of the round... [State 190, Variable Set] type = VarSet trigger1 = Time = 0 ;kicks in immediately v = 3 ;Variable 3 - Extra damage taken (for weak spots) value = 1 ;Sets Extra damage taken variable to 1 (Normal damage taken) ---------- > During the attack that bears the weak spot, I set Variable 3 to 3 in order to activate the triple damage on the desired frames... [State 3500, Variable Set] type = VarSet trigger1 = AnimElemNo(0) = [5, 7] ;^Animation must be between its fifth and seventh frames^ v = 3 ;Variable 3 - Extra damage taken (for weak spots) value = 3 ;Sets Extra damage taken variable to 3 (Triple damage taken) ---------- > In State -2, I tried to use a LifeAdd state controller to get Creamy to take the multiplied damage. However, after several attempts, I just couldn't the syntax of the coding right. Here's what my LifeAdd currently looks like... [State -2, Triple Damage] type = LifeAdd trigger1 = var(3) = 3 ;Result of Variable 3 getting set to 3 ;trigger1 = MoveType = H ;Must be in Get Hit move type value = gethitvar(damage) * 3 ;^Creamy takes triple damage when hit.^ ---------- > In order to determine that Variable 3 is triggering correctly, I added a bit of temporary code that turns Creamy grey so I can know when the weak spot is active... [State -2, PalFX] ;temporary type = PalFX trigger1 = Var(3) = 3 Time = 1 color = 0 ---------- > I've already been through a thorough Google search that included MFG threads on this very topic, and official Elecbyte documentation, but it wasn't enough to provide me with a sufficient answer.
