Make helper ignore pausetime

[Tyler]

How can i make a helper ignore the pausetime from its hitdef?

 

right now it doesn't disappear on time when it hits p2 because of it

[PlasmoidThunder]

If the helper is doing the attacking, then set the first value of pausetime in its HitDef to 0.

 

So if the pausetime is 8,8, it'd be 0,8.

[Tyler]

well yeah but then theres no pause effect when hes hit.

 

or is there another way to get that?

[Алексей]

You want your helper to ignore its hitpause, but still produce hitpause? Seems a little counter-intuitive, no? The only thing I can think of is maybe try ignorehitpause=1 on your DestroySelf.

[Tyler]

well idk... i want to get the same effect as hitpause but make sure the helper works like i want it.

 

right now i have it destroying itself at animtime = 0 and that works fine as long as you don't actually hit anything with the attack but when you do the helper sticks around after the move is already finished.

 

maybe i did something wrong heres the code

You're destroying and changing state here. DestroySelf will take priority as it comes before the ChangeState, but the DestroySelf really should be in the last state unless the triggers are going to change to something more specific.

For the DestroySelf though, you can set ignorehitpause=1 as I mentioned before and change the trigger to something time-based instead. That way, your trigger won't be relying on the animation, which will be paused during hits.

oh i dont even know why i had that changestate there it didn't need it.

 

but i removed that

 

anyway...

 

i changed it to timebased but nothing different happened, its still sticking around

 

and by adding ignorehitpause=1 do you mean inside the DestroySelf or the helper because i already had it there. (and tried it in the DestroySelf nothing happened)

Hmm, well another idea that comes to mind is splitting the CLSN and animation into two different entities. The Helper's animation would be your CLSN animation and the effect animation would be an Explod that's bound to the Helper (through bindtime). Give that Explod an ID and make sure to remove it when you need to, using RemoveExplod and passing the ID of your explod to the ID parameter.

[Tyler]

follow up question...

 

how can i make the helper attack move the opponent when it hits like all other attacks?

 

they just stand still and take the attacks until its over and then get knocked back and into the air

[Алексей]

I'm not quite sure what you mean. You just use a HitDef, making sure that the animation of the Helper is the Red CLSN animation.

[Ryon]

make the pausetime 1 tick longer for the helper.

pausetime = 6 ,5

and make sure there is a decent value for ground.velocity. this way the will have a second to move after being hit.

[Tyler]

got it to work like i wanted.

 

but how can i get the helper to move across the screen with my character? The separate Red CLSN moves with me but not the other.

The effect is an Explod right? bindtime=-1, pos=x,y, and postype=p1. Those will help you bind and position the Explod to the helper. If it's a helper that's the effect, use BindToParent or PosSet.
