Character Bug that has been around for an insane amount of time. Help me fix it.

Right so it's been two years this character was posted on here and I guess no one has released a version of him yet that has fixed his one. Singular game breaking bug. Here is a link to him.

When he gets hit by specific attacks. He lands beneath the ground at a diagonal angle and he cannot come out of it. It's generally the attacks that cause the characters to twirl in the air or something before hitting the ground. When he hits the ground he seems to land at a really messed up angle. I do not know how to fix this and apparently he's been broken like this since the original release of the game he was from.

I'm kind of shocked by this because WENCHU was involved in that game and his characters have always been phenomenal. Anyone out there know what the issue is? I've spent the last 2 hours looking through the code trying to figure out what is causing the glitch but my eyes can't seem to find anything significant.

Bumping my thread to point out the progress I've made while trying to fix this. So I couldn't really identify whatever the problem this Sengoku had before was. But now I can be a lot more specific.

It has to do with the AngleDraw code. For some reason whenever this Sengoku is hit by ANY AngleDraw attack. He ends up landing beneath the ground at a diagonal angle. Now that I know the problem lies in how he responds to AngleDraw attacks. How do I fix it?

Edit #1:

Lol well... I've actually got fantastic news. It took so long but with enough brute force I think I finally have found a way to fix this code. The bug for this character has been around for over a decade. I don't even think Wenchu knew how to fix it. But with luck and persistence I managed it. For anyone else reading this here is the one and only way to fix the character. You need to paste this underneath State 5120, 1b:

[State 0, AngleDraw]
type = AngleDraw
trigger1 = 1
value = -1 + (-360*time)

If you do this when Sengoku gets up. He will be properly centered. I've tested it and so far AngleDraw attacks of all kinds do not bug him anymore. Sengoku can finally fight alongside Garp and against many other characters that he couldn't before. At the moment Sengoku does land at a very weird diagonal angle. Looking to fix that right now. But this is a more than decent fix for the time being. There is literally no fix for this character anywhere else. Lol believe me I have searched long and hard over the years. So if something happens to this code or thread all I can say is good luck lmao.

Edit #2:

To fix it even further add this into the code after State 5110, 3:

[State 0, AngleDraw]
type = AngleDraw
trigger1 = 1
value = -1 + (-360*time)

That way when he lands just before getting up he will actually be centered as well.

Edit #3:

The last thing that you will need to fix this character is to put this code under State 5101, 2:

[State 0, AngleDraw]
type = AngleDraw
trigger1 = 1
value = -1 + (-360*time)

And with that Sengoku has finally been fixed.

Big props to you for solving this on your own. A bug in a character existing for that long likely isn't for no reason.

congratulations. you've just stepped into the world of coding.
