As its is stated on the manual, the frame numbering starts on 0, not on 1.
So if you wanna use the 5th frame, you need to use 4 as value.
Yes, you need to use multiple position() . Keep in mind something very important: when you bind a target by script, the only thing that will unbind it will be if the attacker dies (ut the target will get stuck on that animation forever). When you use script, you have full control of something. But we really mean full control: the engine will do only what you tell it to do and nothing more.
So if you position a target at X20 Y30, it will stay bound on that position forever until you tell the engine to let it go.
This is Axel's grabbacward, and an example. See how many position() i use, because I need to adjust the target to the exact position:
X, Y and Z are the velocities of the thrown target. See on the example above:
@cmd throw 25 2 4 0.5 0 0
It will cause 25 of damage (when landing on the ground), with type 2 (which causes a damage based on ATTACK9 to trigger FALL9), with X velocity of 4, Y velocity of 0.5 (keep in mind that positive Y velocities makes the enemy goes upward, negative velocities makes the enemy goes towards the ground), with 0 as Z velocity and no face change.
About what TYPE you need to use, it depends on your script. This is the version I use - it's based on
@Bloodbane codes, with some changes:
C-like:
void finish(int Damage, int Type, int x, int y, int z, int Face)
{ // Damage as slam or throw finisher
void self = getlocalvar("self");
//void target = getlocalvar("Target" + self);
void target = getentityvar(self,"grabbed");
int SDir = getentityproperty(target,"direction");
int MDir;
if(Face==0){ // Same facing?
MDir = SDir;
}
if(Face==1){ // Opposite facing?
if(SDir==0){ // Facing left?
MDir = 1;
} else { MDir = 0;}
}
if(target==NULL())
{
target = getentityproperty(self, "grabbing");
setlocalvar("Target" + self, target);
}
if(target!=NULL())
{
int dir = getentityproperty(target,"direction"); //Get opponent's facing direction
if(dir==0){ // Facing left?
x = -x;
}
if(Type==1)
{
damageentity(target, self, Damage, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL")); // 1st Finisher
}
if(Type==2)
{
damageentity(target, self, Damage, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL9")); // 2nd Finisher
}
if(Type==4)
{
damageentity(target, self, 1, 1, openborconstant("ATK_SHOCK")); // 4rd throw type
}
if(Type==5)
{
damageentity(target, self, Damage, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL11")); // 5th throw type
}
if(Type==6)
{
damageentity(target, self, Damage, 1, openborconstant("ATK_BURN")); // 5th throw type
}
if(Type==7)
{
damageentity(target, self, 1, 1, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL2")); // 5th throw type
}
antiWallG();
tossentity(target, y, x, z); // Toss opponent ;)
changeentityproperty(target,"subject_to_gravity",1);
changeentityproperty(target, "direction", MDir);
setentityvar(self, "grabbed", NULL()); //CLEAR ENTITYVAR
}
}
As you can see, I can finish custom animations even with BURN or SHOCK animations if I want to
The only animations that are required is FALL7 (ATK_NORMAL7) and FALL9 (ATK_NORMAL9), but for throwing, we use FALL9 to make the enemy to flip over your character's head.
When I want no flip, I can use TYPE 1, which will trigger the normal FALL.
The other animations you see - FALL11 and FALL2 are for other things exclusive to my project - the first is a full looped vertical flip and the second one is the "wire damage" from KOF ( or Street Fighter Alpha counter attack damage), when a character flips over its axis but horizontally
One of the difference is that originally this codes uses "getlocalvar("Target" + self)" to aquire the target, while my version is based on
@Kratus initial work and uses "getentityvar(self,"grabbed");" to aquire the traget, which works better to me.
WARNING: don't copy and paste my function on your project, as it won't work, since I its tied to another functions.
