Help with projectile coding

[Sweets]

hello guys I hope someone could help me out with coding my char. I figured out how to code normal punches and punches in the air. I'm now focused on projectiles. I know how to code projectile's while char is standing but I just can't for the life of me code my char shooting a projectile while in the air?

its the exact same idea as on the ground. except you need to limit the character a little bit.

 

for instance if you add a velset code with x and y = 0, then they won't move.

also make sure you set your statdef's physics = N , if your physics = A, then gravity will pull you back to the ground which ususally makes the projectile not happen.

Thanks ryon Ive been watching the tutorials very closely I'm really trying to understand codes. I read how velset effect my char and A or N phycis will effect my char in the air. 

I think i messed up my helper code but I don't no where. I want it to shot straight down when my char is in the air. But My char won't summon my helper animation or hit the target player it just shows my exploding animation on the ground 

Here is my code

- 220 is my char shooting projectile

-230 is the projectile it self

-240 is my exploding animation

 

[statedef 221] 

type = A

movetype= a

physics = n

juggle = 1

ctrl = 0

anim = 220 

sprpriority = 1

 

 

 

[State 221, 1] 

type = Helper

trigger1 = 1

name = "power ball" 

ID = 222 

stateno = 222

pos = 0,0

postype = p1

ownpal = 1 

supermovetime = 0 

pausemovetime = 0

;size.xscale =

;size.yscale =

;keyctrl = 0 

 

[state 221, 2] 

type = playsnd

trigger1 = time = 2

value = 0, 4 

 

[state 221, 3]

type = changestate 

trigger1 = animtime = 0

value = 0

ctrl = 1

;---------------------------------------------------------------

;cammand jump special helper (projectile)itself

[statedef 222] 

type = A

movetype= A

physics = n 

ctrl = 0

anim = 230 

sprpriority = 2 

velset = 0,1

 

[State 222, 1] 

type = HitDef

trigger1 = time = 0 

attr = S, NA

hitflag = maf

animtype = Medium 

damage = 200,0

guardflag = MA

pausetime = 1,1

sparkno = s1

hitsound = s5,2

guardsound = s6,0

ground.type = high

ground.slidetime = 0

ground.hittime = 0

ground.velocity = 0

air.velocity = 0,0

 

[State 222, 2]

type = ChangeState

trigger1 = movecontact 

value = 223

 

[state 222, 3]

type = changestate 

trigger1 = POS Y > -5 / VEL Y > -5

value = 224

 

;---------------------------------------------------------------

;cammand jump special helper (projectile) hitting player

[statedef 223] 

type = A

movetype= A

physics = n 

ctrl = 0

anim = 240 

sprpriority = 2 

velset = 0,0

 

 

[State 223, 1]

type = DestroySelf

trigger1 = animtime = 0

[statedef 224] 

type = A

movetype= A

physics = n 

ctrl = 0

anim = 240 

sprpriority = 2 

velset = 0,0

 

[State 224, 1]

type = PosSet

trigger1 = 1

y = 0

 

[State 224, 2]

type = DestroySelf

trigger1 = animtime = 0

I think this trigger is the one that doesn't work properly. It tries to resolve the condition pos y > 5, then divide it with vel y, and then check if the result is greater than -5. Its odd if you only want to check if the helper hit the ground.

 

You can use

trigger1 = pos y >= 0

 

or

trigger1 = vel y > 0

trigger1 = pos y > -vel y

 

as alternative to that trigger. First one is simpler, but can allow the helper go below the ground very often. Second one is what I'm using and works pretty well, took it from here. Anyway, on state 224 you're resetting its pos y to 0, which is great because you're preventing it to go below ground.

 

Keep in mind that multiple helpers are generated every tick on state 221.

 

 

Edit: Or you can just replace / with && and it will work fine :P

Ha funny but I just can't get my helper to appear  it just shows my exploding animation. So do you mind giving me a simple helper code?

Your helper is already simple, it just need some fixs

Thanks I wouldn't of gone this far without your help. I'm almost done with my char. I just need help with the controls or commands 

I want to make them (up and x) but it hardly ever works it ether jumps 80℅ of the time or gabs
