I'm changing Itachi's command buttons (New at This)

[nflboi1999]

Hi everyone , {i got a question} i recently started to modify my mugen (adding characters,music,stages etc...) and i'm getting familiar about coding AIs , sprites and characters.

as the title says ''Im changing Itachi's command buttons'' , specifically about changing command buttons in order to trigger the special motions , i figured out how to do it openning itachi.cmd and putting a command letter on triggerall = command =

the question is how do i do, for example to assign a trigger command for x movement like a holding DOWN + any command button i already know how to do it with one command button for example (x,y,z), but i wanted to do it with a combination(holding DOWN + any command button). If you could help me , i'll be thankful

PD : I'm new at this don't judge me

Interesting.

Looks like most of your command lines read:
triggerall = command !=

"!=" means NOT equal. Cheange it to just "="
See if that works

[nflboi1999]

The command button line is alright i'm changing the command button from triggerall = command = . So it works , but I'm just trying to figure out how to assign a combination of commands (DOWN + a,b.x,y,z) to trigger a motion at triggerall = command = ''_'' any idea?

[Bluuer]

Not sure what you mean but let me show you some commands from your first quote:

filename: itachi.cmd
-----------------------
[State -1, Sharingan]
type = changestate
value = 789
triggerall = command = "sha"
triggerall = command != "holddown"


[State -1,Mizu Bunshin]
type = changestate
value = 6542
triggerall = command = "mizu"
triggerall = command != "holddown"

Try eliminating the "!=" from those and replace them with just "="
That is, if I'm understanding your question correctly

Thanks for all i already did it , i just changed:

trigger1 = statetype = S , and put C (Crouch) instead S (Standing), i figured out how to do it following a tutorial written on itachi.cmd in order to make the movement pressing down + (x/y/z)

- Useful triggers to know:
; - statetype
; S, C or A : current state-type of player (stand, crouch, air)

Ah, I missed that upon first reading too. Alrighty. Good find.

Double Posting. This is for people with a bit more experience who may run into the same problem and need a fix.

Soooo, I did some experimenting with this specifically with N64Mario's Balrog and found that several solutions are plainly inefficient.

Just to address this, making this Statetype = C means that it will no longer trigger when "standing" so you might experience problems with that as well.
The better option is to use one of these 3:
statetype != A
statetype != A && statetype != L
statetype = S || Statetype = C


Now, here's the part that makes this kind of incomplete coding on the part of Elecbyte (although they're really amazing other EXCEPT NotHitBy):
I tried this in several iterations, none of which worked:

; Dash Trip
[Command]
name = "dtrip_x"
command = ~40$B, DF, x
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_y"
command = ~40$B, DF, y
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_z"
command = ~40$B, DF, z
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_x"
command = ~40$B, ~DF, x
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_y"
command = ~40$B, ~DF, y
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_z"
command = ~40$B, ~DF, z
time = 60

[Command]
name = "dtrip_x"
command = ~40$B, D, F, x
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_y"
command = ~40$B, D, F, y
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_z"
command = ~40$B, D, F, z
time = 60

[Command]
name = "dtrip_x"
command = ~40$B, ~D, F, x
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_y"
command = ~40$B, ~D, F, y
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_z"
command = ~40$B, ~D, F, z
time = 60

[Command]
name = "dtrip_x"
command = ~40$B, ~D, ~F, x
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_y"
command = ~40$B, ~D, ~F, y
time = 60
[Command]
name = "dtrip_z"
command = ~40$B, ~D, ~F, z
time = 60
==============================
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Dash Trip
[State -1, State]
type = ChangeState
value = 1020
triggerall = Var(50) > 0
triggerall = (command = "dtrip_x" || command = "dtrip_y" || command = "dtrip_z") && (command = "holddownfwd" || command = "holddown" || command = "down");
trigger1 = statetype != A
;trigger1 = ctrl
trigger2 = var(20) > 0

There's no way he tested that move because it should literally be impossible to trigger the way he had it (at least at Fast 4 and beyond although I'm pretty sure this should be the case at any speed).


The solution was to edit the CNS and manipulate a pre-animation.
Sooo, Balrog has a Dashing Straight vs. a Dashing Trip. Common to those are the animation for State 1000 the actual dash before the punch. Because of that, the solution was to go to State 1000 and up to a particular animelem 'before the punch' depending on the keys you are pressing make Balrog do wither the Dashing Straight or Dashing Trip.
So, the workaround was this:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Dash Punch
[Statedef 1000]
type = S
movetype = A
physics = N
juggle = 8
poweradd = 42
sprpriority = 2
velset = 8,0
anim = 1000
ctrl = 0


;EXPLANATION
;If your command is holddown or holddownfwd while your animation is the pre-punch rushing animation, switch states and do the Trip Punch
;If your command is NOT holddown or holddownfwd while your animation is the pre-punch rushing animation, continue in State 1000 and do the Dashing Straight

[State 1000, State]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = anim = 1000
trigger1 = (command = "holddownfwd" || command = "holddown")
value = 1020

EXPLANATION
If your command is holddown or holddownfwd while your animation is the pre-punch rushing animation, switch states and do the Trip Punch
If your command is NOT holddown or holddownfwd while your animation is the pre-punch rushing animation, continue in State 1000 and do the Dashing Straight


Anywho an interesting experiment
