How to make a simple Vs Char Special Intro w/ Dialogue

[DarkWolf13]

Here's how to make a simple Vs Char Intro.

 

1. Open Paint and resize the image to 320 x 59,

 

2. Use paint bucket and paint the image all black.

 

3. Use the Text Entry tool (I call it the Text Entry tool) and open it on the entire image.

 You can use whatever font you want but make sure the size is 6 or 7. I used System font size 7

used red text.

 

4. Make sure it's at least 2 lines and at most 3. Sometimes it's recommended of using one line

to put the name of the one who's talking.

 

5. Save the text as PNG and make a folder for the character who has a Vs Intro and save it as

"0000.png".

 

6. Hit CTRL+Z and repeat Step 3 until you finish your Vs Char dialogue.

 

Once finished, open Fighter Factory and open your the char you want the vs Intro for.

 

Then do this:

 

1. Add the new PNG files as new sprites WITHOUT shared palettes.

2. If the position is X- 160, Y- 59. Don't worry, I'll tell you how to add the coding for this afterwards.

3. Save your sprites and go to StateDef 5900.

4. At StateDef 5900, you need to set a variable, here's an example:

 

[state 0, VarSet]

type = VarSet

trigger1 = P2name ="Dark Wolf B-7"

var(8) = 1

 

[state 0, VarSet]

type = VarSet

trigger1 = P2name ="Shin M. Bison"

var(8) = 2

 

[state 0, VarSet] 

type = VarSet

Triggerall = IsHomeTeam ;REQUIRED if you want to have a Vs Char Intro against yourself

trigger1 = P2name ="You"

var(8) = 3

 

 

 

You must select the char you want the Vs Char Intro for and make sure the name is correct

otherwise, it will not work. If you're not sure of their name, check their .def file for name 

and enter it the way it's shown such as the examples above. 

IMPORTANT: You MUST use P2Name so if the char is up against another char that has a partner

but if Player 2 is named in the Vs Intro coded, the Vs Intro will play, otherwise it will not work.

 

 

5. After setting the var, use this coding to determine the char's Intro:

 

 

[state 5900]

type = changestate

triggerall = Var(8) = 0  ;If char isn't fighting specified opponent

trigger1 = RoundNo = 1

value = 190

 

[state 5900]

type = changestate

triggerall = Var(8) > 0  ;If char is fighting specified opponent

trigger1 = RoundNo = 1

value = (Any StateNO you choose but declare it)

 

6. Next, you must MAKE a StateDef for that Vs Intro to work so here's a sample to get you

started: 

 

[statedef ANY Number]

type = S

ctrl = 0

anim = (Any NUMBER or 0)

velset = 0,0

 

 

[state 192, 2] ;Assert this until you want "round 1, fight" to begin

type = AssertSpecial

trigger1 = 1

flag = Intro

flag2= nomusic ;Optional if you don't want the BGM to play while in the intro

 

 

[state 192, 5]  ;THIS IS OPTIONAL if you want to have music played in the intro.

type = PlaySnd

trigger1 = Time = 45

value = 20000, 0

volume = 255

channel = 4  ;If you want music intro, add the .wav and SET a channel.

loop = 1

 

[state 0, Explod]

type = Explod

trigger1 = time = 45

anim = 40000+var(8) ;I recommend values of a high number, such as 40000.

ID = 40000

pos = 160,59    ;The position of your Vs Char Dialogue sprites

postype = left

bindtime = -1

removetime = -2

ontop = 1

ownpal = 1

 

[state 194, 3]

type = ChangeAnim

trigger1 = time > 46

trigger1 = NumExplod(40000) = 0

value = 0

persistent = 0

 

[state 194, 4] ;ONLY used if you add music, make sure you have an unused Var

type = VarAdd

trigger1 = time > 46

trigger1 = NumExplod(40000) = 0

v = 7                            ;REQUIRED to help end the Intro when dialogue ends, MUST be new variable

value = 1

 

[state 194, 5]

type = StopSnd

trigger1 = time > 46

trigger1 = var(7) > 80  ;Time to stop playing music

channel = 4

 

[state 194, 6]

type = ChangeState

trigger1 = time > 46

trigger1 = var(7) > 110 ;When final Vs Char Intro Dialogue disappears, the fight begins

value = 0

 

 

7. Then go to the .air file and ADD an animation for those sprites. For time, I recommend value of 225-275

for each sprite so you or other players can read it. Such as this:

 

; Vs. Dark Wolf B-7

[begin Action 40001]

20000,0, 0,0, 250, 

20000,1, 0,0, 250, 

20000,2, 0,0, 250, 

20000,3, 0,0, 250, 

20000,4, 0,0, 250, 

 

Why Begin action 40001 but you declared animation 40000 in the code? THAT is because it is 

incremented by the number declared in the variable. Var(8) = 1, which is the intro against

Dark Wolf B-7 so therefore, they count it as 40000+1. 

 

 

I hope this is helpful and if anything goes wrong, let me know. I hope you all took the time of reading

and making a simple Vs Char Intro.

 

 

WARNING

This may not work for some characters. This coding will be incompatible with the character under these conditions

 

-Sprite indexes/animations mentioned here are already in use

-Most/All variables are in use already

Nice tutorial!  It'd be nicer if you included some MUGEN screenshots.

[LuaraJohn]

Ohh, great!

In a full game that don't have much chars (about 100-), this feature sounds so awesome!

[RA.the.Great]

what if i dont want intro to be played when the char is up against another char that has a partner

[DarkWolf13]

Put a code in like this:

 

[state 0, VarSet]

type = VarSet

triggerall= Enemy, Teammode = Single

trigger1 = P2name ="Shin M. Bison"

var(8) = 2

 

Meaning the var will be used if the character is alone.

 

 

And also and this is towards anyone reading this:

[state 0, VarSet]

type = VarSet

triggerall = stagevar(info.name) = "Argon Elevator"

trigger1 = p2name = "WereGarurumon" && enemy,authorname = "The Great Matsutzu"

trigger2 = p2name = "WereGarurumon by TGM" && enemy,authorname = "DarkWolf13"

var(20) = 1

 

You can also use the bold line for the special Vs Intro to play at a specific stage.

i understood the coding, but it is not working for me.(i have tried this on 23 chars and none of them worked)

 

i think i need video tutorial for this

[DarkWolf13]

I'm not good with making videos for it. But for something like this... it may not work on some characters because the animations/vars/sprite indexes that are already used. Which one of the 23 characters you tried it on? I need to know so I can see if they're compatible with this coding or not. I'm gonna mention compatibility on the first post.

[qwerty]

i forgot this topic ..i am sorry..... umm.... those 23 char i really don't remember .

i just rem that two of those char were ella 2.5 by AIDUZZI and dystopia by kasu (i found them in my recycle bin)
