Helper binding problem

[DuckAzz]

I have a problem with some move again...

So when explosive (p1) hit p2 with some special move which I have created, he need to place the bomb into the p2's body then it will blow up in the p2's body...explod gets binded on p2 but helper doesn't do that...

 

Here's the picture:

 

Code in p1's state:

 

[state 810, Helper]; It's in throwing state

type = Helper

trigger1 = time = 21

helpertype = normal

name = "Bomb in the body"

id = 1574

pos = 0, -50

postype = P2

stateno = 1574

keyctrl = 0

 

and here's the code in helper 1574:

 

...

 

[state 1000]

type = bindtotarget

trigger1 = 1

time = 9999

pos = 0,-50,mid

persistent = 1

 

[state 1000];Bomb indicator

type = explod

trigger1 = time = 0

anim = 850

ontop = 1

postype = p2

pos = 0,-65

removeongethit = 0

ignorehitpause = 1

bindtime = -1

 

[state 1000]

type = changestate

trigger1 = time = 300

value = 1573

 

 

help?

In order for BindToTarget to work, your helper needs to have a target. You helper will lose its target as soon as the player recovers, as he needs to be in hitstates. Here's how I would do this:

First, give the HitDef an ID. Let's call it 444 for the same of example. Next, you want to store the ID of your target in a variable for future use. You can do that easily with:

trigger1 = numtarget(444) && movehit
var(#) = target,ID

Now that you have the ID of your target, all you need to do is use a PosSet, to position the helper on the target, using their x and y positions. Like so:

trigger1 = playerIDExist(var(#)) ; If the player of your target's ID exists
x = playerID(var(#)),pos x
y = playerID(var(#)),pos y
ignorehitpause = 1

That's it. Now, you'll have your very own "Target Bind" without the needing an actual target. Pretty cool, huh?

well it didn't work good...

here's the explanation in code and on picture:

 

here's how I edit the code:

 

in state 810:

[state 1000, Varset]

type = varset

trigger1 = numtarget(444) && movehit

var(4) = target,ID

ignorehitpause = 1

 

[state 1000, 6]

type = HitDef

trigger1 = time = 0

attr = S, SA

animtype  = Hard

damage    = 50, 2

priority  = 5

hitflag = MAF

guardflag = MA

pausetime = 0,0

sparkxy = 0,0

hitsound   = 5,3

guardsound = 6,0

ground.type = Low

ground.slidetime = 12

ground.hittime  = 15

ground.velocity = -2,0

air.velocity = -4,0

 

[state 1200, Helper]

type = Helper

trigger1 = movehit 

helpertype = normal

name = "Bomb in the body"

id = 1574

pos = 0, -50

postype = P2

stateno = 1574

keyctrl = 0

 

 

in helper:

 

[state 1000]

type = posset

trigger1 = playerIDExist(var(4)) ; If the player of your target's ID exists

x = playerID(var(4)),pos x

y = playerID(var(4)),pos y

ignorehitpause = 1

what i'm suposted to do?

You didn't give the HitDef an ID of 444. Also, why are you using "444?" It was just for my example. Next, in the helper, change var(4) to parent,var(4) or root,var(4). You're setting the variable in the root, so you have to access it from the root.

it worked :) but when 'explosive' hit the p2 it looks like that number of helpers are getting high on 18 and there will be always 18 explosions on p2...what I missed?

Change the trigger of your helper to be movehit=1 or add persistent=0 to it.

that's the thing? I should have known that before...anyway thanks for your help,You are credited again in my new future game ;) Today I learned something very important...

Glad to hear it. :) Good luck with your project!
