3690+ New running options and other additions

[utunnels]

running {speed} {height} {length} {move} {land}

{move}:
 0 - can't run up/down
 1 - can run up and down diagonally
 2 - can start running by inputing uu or dd
 4 - can turn 90 degrees while running (like in some capcom games)
 3 = 1 + 2
 7 = 1 + 2 + 4
 And so on
 

So if you want a running system similar to Captain Commando, change that parameter to 7. If you want to keep your dodge animation, then use 5.

Also I fixed spawn=crash bug in select screen. You should be able to change altitude there now.

Very useful addition.
Thank you.

 Great! thanks UT!

4 - can turn 90 degrees while running (like in some capcom games)

 90 degrees?

 BTW are you going to update grab system too? at least a command to control how many grabattacks player can perform before going to grab finisher.

[utunnels]

90 degrees?

That means you can't turn more than 90 degrees without stopping running.

For example, left then up then right works, but left then upper-right doesn't.



My ideal solution would be adding a grab chain. But not in my recent todo list though.

There's a script solution by changing combostep, if you are interested.

 Ah, thanks for the info about running.

There's a script solution by changing combostep, if you are interested.

 Really? can I see it?

[utunnels]

getentityproperty(ent, "combostep", {index});
changeentityproperty(ent, "combostep", {index}, {value});

Where {index} means the chain index.

0 - normal attacks (puch puch punch...)
1 grabattack
2 grabforward
3 grabup
4 grabdown
5 grabbackward

For grab attacks, {value} can be 0-2,  so if you keep changing it to 0, you get infinite grab attacks. No examples right now though.  If you want a 5 step combo, maybe you need to record the value somewhere else and finish the chain when certain conditions are met.

Wow. I really love this update so far. Some games like Ikkitousen on PSP have that kind of running command similar to Captain Commando (the game).

[Bloodbane]

 Thanks uTunnels!

 BTW are those experimental commands mentioned in other thread still available?

[utunnels]

Yes.

Any idea about the names?
I'm thinking about a script solution so it will be easier to change the overall difficulty of the game.

[utunnels]

A quick note.

I removed the 4096 size limit for images. Not a big deal, but I don't see a reason to keep it.

[Bloodbane]

 Great!
 It's good thing that I haven't included that limitation in manual before.
