Completed 367 Autolink Angle v2.1.0 - Make Aerial Multi-Hit Moves Consistent Like in Ultimate

[abysspartyy]

Autolink angle

The autolink angle is a special knockback angle programmed into certain attacks in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. While it reads in the game data as an angle of 363 or 365 degrees, as well as 366 or 367...

Introduction
━━━━━━━━━━━

The autolink angle, 367, also known as ATTACK_VEC_PULL internally in Smash Ultimate's game files, is a special angle that is used to make certain multi-hit moves connect consistently. Melee is notorious for having multi-hit moves that don't connect properly and one way to fix that is to replicate the autolink 367 angle found in Smash 4 and Smash Ultimate.

Functionality
━━━━━━━━━━━

When a hitbox has an angle of 367 set as its knockback angle, the hitbox will do the following upon connecting with an opponent:

• After hitlag ends, opponents will be sent towards the center of the hitbox while also taking into account the attacker's velocity. This formula from Smash Ultimate is used: Launch Speed = attacker's current speed + (hitbox position - opponent's position) * 0.2
  • If launch speed is above 3 (100 knockback units), linear interpolation is used to cap the launch speed to 3. After 5 frames of hitstun, the launch speed will be capped to 3
    • Vertical launch speed has a lower cap of -1 (approximately 33.4 knockback units) to prevent autolink angles from creating strong spike smashes
• Will not enter the DamageFlyRoll action state
• Hitstun is independent of launch speed
  • What this means is that the amount of hitstun the hitbox will give is based entirely on the Base/Fixed Knockback and Knockback Growth properties & launch speed does not indicate the amount of hitstun (e.g. opponent moving fast due to autolink does not mean they are experiencing high hitstun). You can adjust those properties to give more or less hitstun

Notes

• Electric moves that use this autolink angle will have some slight trouble connecting because of how hitlag works in Melee
  • Opponents experience 1.5x the hitlag compared to the attacker so it allows them SDI longer
• SDI & ASDI can still cause opponents to escape but is very difficult to do so. It is recommended to use the Hitbox Extension Modif you want to adjust SDI & hitlag multipliers
  • Combined with hitlag & SDI multipliers, you can make multi-hit moves almost impossible to escape
• Currently, it does not use an angle of 80 for grounded opponents like in Ultimate

Usage
━━━━━━

After installing the code below, you can now set the angle of any hitbox to 367.

This code requires some other codes from my Shared Modules thread. Please update or install them first if you do not have them already.

Special thanks to @Ruben_dal and DrakRoar for answering my questions regarding the functionality of Ultimate's 367 autolink angle.

Released v2.0.0!

This is a major update that completely changes how I originally did the autolink. It now follows what Smash Ultimate does and should be very consistent now. It also comes with new features that you can see in the main thread!

 

[abysspartyy]

v2.1.0 has been released! This version brings in important bug fixes and adjustments to launch speed to make it less overpowered against opponents who are crouch cancelling.

• adjustment: now uses Ultimate's formula: launch speed = attacker's speed + (hitbox position - opponent's position) * 0.2
• adjustment: now uses the attacker's speed on hit rather than recalculating it for all 5 frames of the pull effect
• bugfix: no longer pulls opponents that aren't put into hitstun (e.g. hitting Master/Crazy Hand or Yoshi in his armour state)
• adjustment: opponents are no longer pulled if their hitstun prematurely ends. It used to always pull the opponent for 5 frames even if they aren't in hitstun
• cleanup: reduced gecko code lines 112 -> 75

Before updating the autolink code, please head over to this thread and install/update Ft/It Data Expansion to v1.2.0.
