Hi guys, I've hit a wall. I'm looking to find a way to make the player change it's attack if he's surrounded by two enemies: one enemy in front and one behind. A good example is the double kick in Batletoads SNES.
I'm using as a base this script (which works), that detects a nearby enemy (only one enemy):
My logic was to modify it so that when one condition is met (enemy is behind of player), the script starts another search for an enemy on the opposite side of the player. If found, it changes the animation accordingly to a double attack (Ani2). If not, it switches to a back attack (Ani).
This is the script so far (it needs to be expanded to also detect a "flipped" version when player is facing the opposite direction, but that's not important now). This version makes the game close at startup. There's probably an obvious issue I'm not seeing.
Here's what the log says:
line 661 (counted with notepad) refers to an unrelated section of the player's file that normally has no issues. I don't know what's up with that.
The script is called by the player entity like this:
@cmd surroundattack "ANI_attackbackward" "ANI_attack4" -60 0 0 7
I'm at my wit's end...

Code:
void finisher(void AniP, void Ani , int RxMin, int RxMax, int Ry, int Rz, int Type, int Flag)
{// Checks closest enemy's animation & range
// If it's accepted, change animation
// AniP : Enemy's animation
// Ani : Animation to change to
// RxMin : Minimum x range
// RxMax : Maximum x range
// Ry : y range
// Rz : z range
// Type : 0 = non targetted , 1 = for targetting, 2 = for grabbing
// Flag : 0 = facing direction not necessary , 1 = facing direction must be opposite
