The photo shows the Scorpion firing Get Over Here. The problem is that I created a conditional branch in "freespecial" and connected it to "follow" below and applied "energycost", but mp does not decrease. I want to create an MP that can be used at any time.

I tried using "@cmd mpgain" but it reduces mp and doesn't stop the attack.

void mpcost( int Cost)
{// Spend some MP
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void MP = getentityproperty(self,"mp");

    changeentityproperty(self, "mp", MP-Cost); //Spend!
}

You can spend MP anywhere with this script.
However, even when the number reaches 0, the attack does not stop.

First of all, by using the limiter and mpcost script together,
It has also been implemented that mp is consumed even in non-freespecials and attacks are stopped due to limiters. But since I just made it, I would like to know if there is a better way.

The reason for not specifying energycost in freespecial is
This is because we make freespecial a branch point of follow and make each follow play the role of freespecial.

I did some tests using the @O Ilusionista idea as a base, you can use 3 freespecials in sequence each with its own energycost. Then, the priority will be automatically changed according to mp remaining and animation order, but configuring the header to use the same button for all of them.

I didn't use those special attacks in order.
It's the same freespecial, but the attack presentation has changed due to the palette script.

It's the same command technique, but the color changes and the attack changes.

I missed this. I'll give it a try.

Yes, in this case the same button will trigger all the 3 freespecial, but I recommend to put the cost order from the higher to the lower. This way the engine will try to perform the mp cost of 40 then 34 then 30.

As shown in the video, the attack called A has different presentation depending on the palette. At first, this used the same amount of MP, but we plan to change the amount of MP consumption depending on the direction.

Although the color is different, it is an attack with the same command mode.

If the energycost method does not work, I suggest applying a fully scripted solution based on keyscripts. This way you will have full control of any behaviour involving key presses, mp and palette.

C: 
if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 1, "attack2") && mp >= 40 && palette == 1){
    performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"), 0);
}

Can you give me an example of applying this script?

The example is the same I posted before, you only need to get the mp and palette. You must call it in the character header like this:
Click to expand...
C: 
void main()
{
    void self      = getlocalvar("self");
    void vAniID  = getentityproperty(self,"animationID");
    int iPIndex  = getlocalvar("player");

    if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 1, "attack2") && mp >= 30 && palette == 5){
        performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW31"), 0);
      }
}


There is no key script in King of Rage.
I applied what I worked on in Mega Man, but the game doesn't run.

Applied. Although the behavior has changed with palette detection in the script.
MP does not decrease.

You need to mix the mpcost script into the keyscript in order to subtract the value before the animation changes, like this:

C: 
void main()
{
    void self    = getlocalvar("self");
    void vAniID    = getentityproperty(self,"animationID");
    int iPIndex    = getlocalvar("player");
    int mp        = getentityproperty(self,"mp");
    int palette    = getentityproperty(self,"map");
    int cost        = 30;

    if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 1, "attack2") && mp >= cost && palette == 5){
        if(vAniID == openborconstant("ANI_IDLE") || vAniID == openborconstant("ANI_WALK")){
            changeentityproperty(self, "mp", mp-cost); //Spend!
            performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW31"), 1);
        }
    }
}

Thank you. MP is now consumed properly.
Lastly, there is an issue where pressing the button quickly causes the attack to blend in with the existing attack.

I think it's due to the "resetable" flag in the performattack function. I suggest to remove or change it to 0.

performattack(self, openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW31"), 0);

Even if it is set to 0, the attack will still occur.
"@cmd checkPal2 "ANI_FOLLOW31" 5"
I put it in freespecial1 to bypass it depending on the color.

Since MP is not consumed alone, I tried to solidify the change in attack using the "checkPal" script and "Key" script you provided.
