Script to Counter Grab Enemies like in Super Double Dragon for SNES

[Fish]

Hi all, I need help with a script.
I would like the player in his Anim Blockpain to be able to Bind to the enemy that hits him frontally in the closet range and not to other enemies that attack him at the same time and from behind.
If the Binding start, the enemy show his Anim Follow.
So when player and enemy are Binded
I can manage the enemy with the
@cmd position like in a slamstart

Are you trying to replicate Lee Brothers' ability to counter grab enemies who tried to punch him by blocking or Chen brother's ability to grab Lee Brothers' kick?

Yes exactly like in Double Dragon for Snes. Exist a Mod that replicate this move?
I want that player perform a counter grab relative to enemies type attack.
I've tried with your slamstart but player grab casual enemies. I need that player grab only the closest enemy that hit

Maybe a script could be to merge your "slamstart" with "ani0200" by DC.
Something like this:
If enemy is in Anim Attack
or enemy's attack box collide with player's box,
and are in Rage declared in Player's Anim Follow1,
Player and enemy will Binded,
And Enemy show the his Anim Follow2

Exist a Mod that replicate this move?

There is a mod with this move but it is a commissioned work so I'd need to modify it for general use and for simplicity.

I post those video so everyone can see what we're talking about.

At the 01:10 Billy performs the counter grab that, which is a different grab from the normal Anim Grab and Anim Grab Attack. Obviously it must be done only against the enemy who attacked the player.

This is also a counter grab that I would like to make.

 

[Bloodbane]

I've remembered that Double Dragon Mini which I've shared years ago already has one of the requested features.

However, to perform counter grab, it's not simple. First, you need to hold Down or just walk down when blocking. Billy will put one arm ready to block instead of covering his face with both arms.
Second, you need to time it properly so as soon as Billy puts one arm, enemy punches him. If done right, Billy will hold the enemy with his arm just like in Super Double Dragon.

There are only two enemies in the demo : Williams and Abobo. IIRC Billy could grab block both enemies.

I'll upload new version with Chen brothers to show the other feature.

to test your grab harm I inserted the "SlamstartA" in "Anim Attack1" and at the end of the move, even when the enemy is on the ground, every time I press "Attack1" the enemy repositions itself in front of the player. Even if it is far from the player. I don't understand why if there is "depost 0"

when the enemy is on the ground, every time I press "Attack1" the enemy repositions itself in front of the player. Even if it is far from the player.

Well, that's because grab scripts store currently grabbed opponent. If the storage is not cleared, player could reposition grounded or even flying enemy to defined positions.
That's why the storage is cleared after grabbing arm is ended to prevent repositioning.

I don't understand why if there is "depost 0"

depost 0 is for unbinding grabbed opponent.
However, IIRC those two functions at last frame were temporary functions to release grabbed opponent in case the animation doesn't loop. The actual script who will release both player and opponent after grabbing time is over is the one inside @script and @end_script bracket.
Yes, grab time is limited so player couldn't grab arm enemy forever and player won't be stuck in grabbing arm state forever.

Hi Bloodbane,
to understand the "slamstart2" I used your "Crime Buster 2.5" with Maxima, and I inserted the freespecial8 in Attack1. But even with the commands
@cmd depost 0
@cmd clearL
every time I press Attack1 the last enemy that was hit by the freespecial8 always reappears until it dies.
Player and Enemy do not untie.

Instead, as you set up with the freespecial8 in the Anim Grab everything is ok.
I can't understand

 

[Bloodbane]

every time I press Attack1 the last enemy that was hit by the freespecial8 always reappears until it dies.
Player and Enemy do not untie.

Oh that's because slamstart2 acquires current opponent therefore everytime the function is run, it will pick last enemy.
