Smash bros smash

Okay well I'm working on coding a super smash brother style fighting system and I ran into a 'wall' that I can't seem to get my head around.
I need to code it so that if X and right are pressed at the same time it does a smash
The problem is if I code it like I have now they have to be pressed at EXACTLY the same time which is really really hard to do, I need to make it so that they are both pressed at very similar times they do a smash
Keeping in mind that there is also an attack coded that if right is held in and x is pressed it does an attack.

If anyone could help that would be a big help haha
Thanks!!

I have an idea.

Run once every time conditions loops.
+X is Held Down
+Right is Held Down
-Do Smash

This way you don't have to press both buttons at the exact same milisecond and it only happens once.

Can I just add that making a Super Smash Bros game in MMF is not ideal because you really don't save any work for yourself. It's not that you can't do it, and it's not that it's too hard, but you will not reap the benefits of using MMF2 like you would making another style of game. :)

No, that isn't how smash attacks work in the game. You need more than one event.

#1:
When user presses Right arrow
-Set counter to 25

#2
When counter is greater than 0
-Subtract 1 from counter

#3
When counter is greater than 0 and user presses attack
-Smash attack!
-Set counter to 0



Obviously, set the counter to the amount of frames you want the delay to be! By default there are 50 frames a second, so this gives half a second to attack.

How was I supposed to know how that game doe's it, the only gaming console I have is the PC.

1. I wasn't having a go at you
2. If you haven't played it why were you trying to help by giving some random advice

I was just trying to help.

Please don't unless you are sure your comment will be of use :)

Winston I'm Trying To Do The Exact Same Thing But In MMF2 Of Course.
Is There Any Chance Of Posting The Code?
By The Way It's Super Smash Bros. Not Smash bros smash :grin:

the title of the topic refers to what he is trying to do
The smash from Super Smash Bros hence Smash bros smash

Why don't you guys work together to build the Smash attack and post it in the files forum, then you can get the best results, work as a team, and learn at the same time for those not familiar with the code.

You never know it might be fun to solve that problem. [laugh]

I would post it but it's terribly messy, like it'd actually be emberassing and it's not even half done

No, Take Your Time! :grin:

If it works it works, if it half way works posting it would be the reason for other people to enhance it. No one can make fun of it since you broke the ground... [laugh]

Plus anyone who's interested knows the whole point of posting it in the first place, a solution to a problem.

okay I've run into a problem again go me!
>= conditions
-=results
so I have the code for the smash:
>moved right
-set counter to 10

>Every 00"01
-remove 1 from counter

>counter=more than 0
>press fire 2
-smash forward to 1
-counter to 0

>smash forward=1
-change anim to smash forward

>anim smash forward over
-set smash forward to 0


Then the normal punching code

>counter=0
>fire 2 pressed
-run punch=1

>run punch=1
-change animation to punch

>animation punch is over
-run punch=0


This gives me a weird error where when both the buttons are pressed near to eachother the character freezes in the first frame of the smash animation but with part of the normal punch animation visible.
Any help?

Could be alot of problems here, make checks to se if an attack is in progress before you initiate another one... Also try restoring animation before starting a new one, this could also fix a few animation errors... Don't really know how your engine works so try it out!

>moved right
-set counter to 10

>Every 00"01
-remove 1 from counter



>counter=more than 0
>press fire 2
>run punch=0
-smash forward to 1
-counter to 0
-resore animation
-change anim to smash forward

>anim smash forward over
-set smash forward to 0
-restore animation



>counter=0
>fire 2 pressed
>smash forward=0
-run punch=1
-resore animation
-change animation to punch

>animation punch is over
-run punch=0
-restore animation

that just made it have more errors:S
