Summoning NPC Allies

[ElorWind]

Playing Mortal Kombat Outworld Assassins I noticed there's a possibility of summoning NPC allies in openbor. My question is; How can I add that possibility to the mod I'm creating?

Hi ElorWind and welcome to the forum. There are various way to summon a NPC ally by a item, a menu, at the beginning of one stage...

To summon a npc, you add the following command in player 1 anim spawn:

spawnframe 1 0 0 0 0
custentity NPCally

That means each time player 1 spawns on screen, npc ally player 2 is summoned.
You must obviously create a npc entity NPCally or any name that you wish.

Oh, thank you so much, I have another question, then: What about player 2? Can player 2 also summon the same NPC ally? In Mortal Kombat OA, both player could summon, and you were able to summon Smoke (The NPC Ally) at any time during the gameplay. On the other hand, I don't have any coding skills, thus what I'm doing is Respriting or Reskining a game to convert ir into a different one, I've add some stuff that weren't in the game base such as the running ability for every char, but I can't add more chars, I don't know why, I've added several chars in other games such as MegaMan Armada, but in this game seems to be impossible. Does ir has to be with the game coding? Should I be able to add more chars no matter what game I'm playing?

All that you wrote before is possible. Remember that all frames of one character must share the same color palette. The character must be declared correctly too at models.txt .

Thank you so much

I've added several chars in other games such as MegaMan Armada,

May I know what characters you have added?

 

[ElorWind]

May I know what characters you have added?

Wolverine, James Bond, Rick n Morty etc, all of them made by me using others as base

That's great! can I have copy of them? I'd like to add them to my edit of Megaman Armada.

 

[ElorWind]

Sure, I'll give you all of then ASAP. Can you give me a link to that MegaMan Armada? The one I have is diferent and incomplete. Just 11 levels availables. Thought the game was cancelled or something

Well, my version is incomplete also but it's the latest version for sure. I downloaded it from GameJolt.

Here's the thread with link to the demo: Scripted Select screen.

And thanks for your chars, I'll be testing them soon and will add them to the roster
