How to map a2 button to attack2 or freespecial2

Hi All,

Just started learning OpenBor. Downloaded all of the tools and actively reading through/searching the Wiki, along with forum posts.

Referencing: Controls – OpenBOR Wiki

According to the above wiki page it states, can be used to map button sequences to a desired animation.

"You can add to or change the existing functionality of commands entirely. Common examples include adding additional attacks mapped to the normally unused Attack 2+ commands, remapping the player special, or special move sequences."

com <sequence> <freespecial#>
Click to expand...

My understanding is that I would place this line into the 'models.txt' file.

When I try to map the following and testing it inside the game with the default 'S' key mapped to a2, nothing happens.

com a2 attack2
Click to expand...

I've also tried mapping:

com a2 freespecial
Click to expand...

where freespecial is defined with animations already (using KULL character for testing).

Any ideas what I'm missing?

Thank you.

nope, you place it on your character .txt file, at the header section (near the MP, health, etc).

Or

you can use it directly on your animation. For example, this is how I have multiple commands for the same move (having classic and modern inputs):

anim freespecial3
loop 0
com D A2 freespecial3
com D U A freespecial3
loop 0
delay 6
fastattack 1
(...)

My results so far:

Just to be clear I am using this version of OpenBOR (newest release):
OpenBoR v4.0 Build 7555 (commit hash: b1676f9), Compile Date: Jan 9 2024

I can confirm that the following WILL work via placing into the Char.txt (ie: KULA.TXT as my test subject) Header area and in a specific ANIM section - upper/lower case doesn't matter:

#Header area
com A2 freespecial

or
#anim section
anim attack2
loop 0
com A2 freespecial
...

[interestingly this causes A2 key to simply trigger 'freespecial' anim and doesn't do anything for attack2 anim]

This is great, so at least I can get any 'freespecial#' to work.

With that said if I put the following in any of the two areas (header or anim section):

com a2 attack2
Click to expand...

Header Example) Here's what the header looks like:

# Do not forget to name your character.
# Health is optional.


name Kula
health 100
speed 9
type player
com a2 attack2
shadow 3
diesound data/sounds/eek.wav
icon data/chars/kula/icon.gif
...
Click to expand...

I get the following error in the 'log.txt':
********** An Error Occurred **********
* Shutting Down *

Fatal Error in load_cached_model, file: data/chars/kula/kula.txt, line 7, message: Invalid freespecial command
Click to expand...

I'm okay if this is limited to only 'freespecial#', I just thought I could trigger attack2 directly with a2 instead of just 'freespecial'.

You can't access Attack2 like that. Com only triggers Freespecials. If for some reason you specifically want to trigger Attack2 with a single button press, you will need to use script.


FTR, don't let the name "special" confuse you. There's nothing special about a Freespecial. it's just an animation triggered by player command or AI in range. That's all.

I was thinking of reusing attack2 animations instead of creating a separate freespecial for it. But that's cool, I can get the job done regardless.

Thanks for the reply! = )

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure if I understand your question right as it's a little bit vague for me.

You simply use com in the player-type character's header in its file for commands. For example, you give its command to Ryu's Hado(u)ken with com d f a freespecial. He'd perform this command with Down, Forward, Attack1.

You don't use com in models.txt at all. Only in character text file instead. You put maxfreespecials in models.txt for increasing the number of its limit. I mean you can put how many freespecials you want for your character to have. It can be higher than the default value in the example. That way, if you want to have more than 10 freespecial animations, you can have those as command moves. Not only that, but you can also do cancels.

maxfreespecials {max}

  • Sets the maximum number of free specials.
  • {max} is number of available free specials.
  • Default is 8.

Example from models.txt:
Code: 
maxfreespecials 99 #Maximum number of available freespecials #maxfreespecials {max} (default: 8)
maxfollows    99 #Maximum number of available follows #maxfollows {max} (default: 4)
maxattacks    99 #Maximum number of normal attacks (attack#) #maxattacks {max} (default: 4)
maxattacktypes    99 #Maximum number of attack/pain/fall/death types #maxattacktypes {max} (default: 10)
colourselect    1
ajspecial    1 #Input mapping for special attacks and blocking
nocost        1 #Energy cost behavior for Special (loss of mp or health). See energycost for details.
nolost        1
nodropen #Enemy falling behavior on respawn. No argument. By default, all enemies onscreen are knocked down (no damage) when a player respawns. Simply declaring nodropen will leave enemies standing on player respawn instead.

Also, you cannot declare any animation name with com like this.
Code: 
com a2 attack2

It doesn't work like that at all.

You have to use only freespecials for com to work.

I don't mean to be harsh, but that's how using com works. Don't get the animation names mixed up for commands.

Also, you cannot declare any animation name with com like this.
Code: 
com a2 attack2

It doesn't work like that at all.

You have to use only freespecials for com to work.

I don't mean to be harsh, but that's how using com works. Don't get the animation names mixed up for commands.

Awesome, thanks for the details very helpful.

Freespecial# is the animation that plays in response to the command, assuming other conditions are met (i.e. having enough energy if the animation has an energy cost). In game leeway for command sequences is 0.5 seconds allowed between each input.

As a follow up question, now that I've gotten COM working with freespecial, I noticed the input key speed during playing is very quick (as in it is hard to execute the combo/ I'm not fast enough?).

Example that I used:
Com b f a freespecial2
Click to expand...
Which I believe is the same as
Com b -> f -> a freespecial2
Click to expand...

Either way, I can't seem to execute the key presses fast enough unless I lead with a few presses of attack (a1) first before performing the combo sequence.

Does this have anything to do with me disabling both VSYNC and frame rate limiting via in game options?

No, it's your choice of commands. B, F is a little tricky unless you introduce a turn delay, because the entity is instantly turned around, and with it your F direction input.

Think of it like how cross ups in VS. games screw with your blocking.

IIRC, you can try inputting B, F, F on the controls, and It will recognize the command as a valid B -> F.

Oh, and yes, the -> does nothing. It's just a way to make commands more readable for you in the model sheet.

Thanks DC, I will try that out!
