platformer problems

oh I just tried it now. I think it works very well. I just have to get used to these variables.

So if I understood correctly, whenever I add a new attack, I will just do the following:
Set canHurt to 1
attack damage
attack speed
attack direction
attack deceleration
attack acceleration
attack gravity
add direction to attack direction

and nothing more?

The pushback group won't need to be changed if I add a new attack?

Does the codes right now also account for the situation of hitting the goon while goon is mid-air?

I just skimmed through the codes right now because I'm doing something right now. thanks a lot.

What minor adjustments are needed to be made? I would like to try adding some new attacks after everything is finalized regarding this damage system.

Oh, btw, about the Direct3D9, I extracted them to my MMF2 installation folder but I only see (Standard, DirectX and DirectX + VRAM) as Display options.

ok. I'll try to code some new attacks later and see what happens.

I extracted the zip you gave me to the MMF2 folder. My MMF2 is R251? I'm not sure how old this computer is, but I think it can handle DirectX 9.

I replied to the PM. thanks.

Hi, I am trying to add new attacks, but first, I want to add a 3 hit combo (by tapping the x button 3 times).

Basically, I have 3 animations (Attack 1-1, Attack 1-2, Attack 1-3)

Only when I am in the Attack 1-1 animation's 3rd frame or later, I can use Attack 1-2 by pressing x, same for the 3rd attack

I have some questions:
1. For what is the setting of the PMO's max velocity to 200 (from original chaos platformer file) ?

2. Can I adjust the speed of animation per frame and not as a whole? like say, I want to make 1st frame of an animation animate longer than each of the rest of the frames? or do I have to just clone the frame as a workaround for this issue?

3. For Attack 1-1, I need the damage to be dealt just once always. But for Attack 1-3, I need the damage to be dealt for every punching frame (like maybe deal 5 damage every frame), is that possible? I'm thinking I have to copy that several times with each event having a different frame-related condition? is there a shorter way of doing it? So I would like to know both ways (always dealing 1 damage for whole anim and also dealing damage per frame)

4. Aside from the updating of my MMF2 to get that DirectX9 (for the flipping horizontally of sprites for facing left), is there any other way to do it? I'm thinking I can use a string or variable for the red active object to determine if the player is facing left or right, checking it every tick, but I'm not sure if there is an appropriate action for that condition.

5. Can I add crouching to my hero? like hold press down button and the hero stays crouched? and goes back to stopped anim when I release the press of down?

I'll send the updated MFA thru PM

Go to the event for the attacks, look at all the actions.
For what is the setting of the Platformer Movement Object's max velocity to 200 (from original chaos platformer file) ? I'm not sure about the purpose of that one.

No, you can add events to change the animation speed on the fly, although if these different animation frames are dependant on the stage of the attack, then it is probably better to manually animate it with code (have an animation speed of 0, and change the animation frame when you get to the different attack stage).

what do you mean by "attack stage" ?

This is certainly possible - almost anything in 2D is possible with Fusion. We could reset the "canhurt" value when the animation frame changes, depending on the current animation. You don't need to copy the whole hurting enemy code for all the different kinds of attacks if we just reset the canhurt value.

---

what conditions do you use to reset the canHurt every change of frame (of same animation). I am specifically referring to Attack 1-3 animation's punching frames.
Can you give me an example?

and also, in the file I gave you, the button-mashing combo doesn't work. Did I miss something? I mean Attack 1-2 is not playing when I press x while I am in Attack 1-1 animation.
