Oh ok, thanks ill try that. what i mean for link is that i was trying to make it so when he does the spin attack, you are able to move him left and right like luigi tornado for example. But when I ticked the moves character box under "animation flags" it didnt do what I was intending. So I dont know how to do it X_X

... you should start whith looking into luigi then... abd find out how his attak works... if nececary copy over the whole thing... or just what parts of it you need to make your epic move...

o ok, i figured if i did that it would crash considering it might load an article that toon link didnt have. ill try it though. also, this was probably the same problem i had with doctor mario, when i change the graphics on toon link's Neutral B Animation End action to fire, when it actually hits the opponent, its a normal arrow hit. and i already looked, theres no command specifying a normal hit, or any hit at all. Ive seen something called a "Bitten" or "BittenEnd" command, but theres nothing in it. Is that the thing that tells how to hit the opponent?

His arrows are articles IIRC, so you can't change their properties without knowing how to hex.

Oh ok... (**** IT! THATS YOUNG LINK"S CENTERFOLD!) Well, at least that fixed Dr. Mario's F-Smash :D Now I just need a new D-Air or an Electric Final Smash and I'll release my second build... I wonder what the D-Air should be. Suggestions, anybody?
EDIT: Why is "D_A_M_N" censored? Just curious.

[Cosmick]

I have a random question...


How can I add a projectile like Fighter Kirby's "Hadouken" to a different character?

I didn't think we could do something like that until I saw Fighter Kirby, and I'm trying to add a SIMILAR projectile to a different character.

the only way we can add "projectiles" to anything at the moment is whith hitboxes, timers and graphic effects... like... make a hitbox whith a graphic effect, then after a set amount of frames, kill it and make a new one a little forward...

Don't terminate the collisions, just state a new offensive collision with the same id. It will override the old one, but make it so it can't multihit people. Terminate only at the very end. Also, graphics can use variables for offsets, but offensive collisions can't as far as I've seen. So, you can use a loop for moving the GFX, but not the hitboxes.

really depends on what kind of "projectile" you want... and i actually forgot about variables... i gotta learn how to use them soon...

 

[SymphonicSage12]

Okay I'm trying to give zamus a new utilt that's like her throwing electricity upwards. I've got everything good except for the hitboxes working. I have a terminate collisions and a synchronous timer before it if that matters. Does something have to be put in other?

 

[CheDDar-X]

Does anyone know the hit angle that brings the person attacked to you?

 

[MysticKenji]

It's B4.

 

[CheDDar-X]

It's B4.

I'm in love with you!!!!

Now I'm half a step away from completion of my project!!

EDIT: Is there a code that allows you to control just horizontal movement in the air? I need it desperately.

does it look something like this?
hitbox
synchronous timer
terminate collisions
hitbox
synchronous timer
terminate collisions

if not, that might be your problem... if this isn't the problem, post a picture... much easier to help then...

does anyone know how to get PSA to work for my mac, and could they please tell me? I really would like to design a character, but I only have my mac.

 

[CRUSH_]

I was experimenting with graphical effects hoping to find ho-oh's shot without the hitboxes/bird/pokeball. I didn't find it but I figured I may as well share what I found out. Some of these numbers were included in the previous graphical effect list (didn't realize that when I tested them) but I got entirely different results. A few of those original ones might still be in here. Just sayin' that so it's not plagiarism.

My descriptions are a little wordy because I value detail. My apologies for the ones that just say 'lame', they were the ones I didn't like and by the time I realized the info might be useful to other people I'd forgotten what they were.

Any mention of size is relative because size is controlled by the codes and I had mine all set to a huge size so I could see them all more clearly.

Whenever I say a direction the effect goes in, I'm probably right but that's also controlled by the codes and the character/attack I used might've been affecting it. I've got no way of knowing. Not sure if this is a valuable contribution, but worth a shot =)

I second this! I have a pc, but it's sooo slow, so it'd be so much more convenient to work on my mac. plus I'd be keeping everything in one place (I do all my textures and planning and such here, then transfer to the pc as needbe).

Really the whole hacking thing in general needs more Mac lurve. I might have to learn how myself though...

anyway, I'm here for a question actually. Probably the first of many, as it's my first real project and it's an odd one. But for now, you know the crates? I think I found what summons items, and the value for the crate, but how would I specify WHICH crate? As in, summon the futuristic/sci-fi one and not the giftwrapped or wooden ones, regardless of stage.

I hear of some thing called Mono that apparently allows PSA to run on a mac. Don't know much about it myself though.

I don't believe you can choose. At the very least, no method of doing so is yet known.

 

[ThatGuyYouMightKnow]

I've heard that JUST changing what subIDs specials reference is enough to create a unique special, but no, the way I've learned is that in most cases this is wrong, especially with characters like Marth, Bowser, etc. who have Special Actions set up to manipulate what's inside in a very, very different way.

I'm REALLY having trouble understanding how things work in the special's tab. Some specials reference up to FOUR other special actions, for example, Bowser's DownB references Three and his SideB references more than four iirc, while all of his neutralB is done in one tab and upB references two special actions. If you simply change the subIDs and mess with the subaction itself, that will not stop each from gathering momentum information from each Action, which is something I also don't understand; how a special action is read.

Any ideas?

Google Mono Framework.

Download it and install it for your version of OS X.

Then place the PSA folder somewhere easy to access using Terminal (in applications/utilities/).

Then once in terminal, use the "cd" command to get to the proper directory for PSA.

Then launch PSA using: "mono smashattacks.exe"

Or you can be like me and run parallels and just have windows and os X running in the same instance without rebooting...

You pretty much have to treat every Special as a separate entity. Many times similar things are accomplished in wildly different ways. It's as if totally different programmers did each character (in fact that's probably the case to an extent).

 

[ThatGuyYouMightKnow]

Well I dunno, but Specials are becoming a thorn in my side. D:

Even if I were to figure it out, I wouldn't be able to load any codes, unfortunately. ;_;

heh, I got it figured out just before I saw this post. XD Thanks though!

It's slow and a little glitchy, but it works. Awesomesauce.

Also, I've been wanting to do that. I need windows to play some of my fav. games, not just for all the programs that don't work for mac. but I don't have a copy of windows handy atm. :/ Eventually though. Then all I'd need is an sd card reader and I could finally keep everything in one place. |D

 

[Mr Physych]

Hey i read through the post and i wasnt able to find anything about changing the timing of moves. say for example i want to make captain falcon's U-Air go 10% faster or bowsers Bair to have less landing lag, how do i change those things. or are there any resources that discuss this

 

[Kurausu]

maybe this is what you want:
04070100
Speed up
set parameter 0 to scalar.
with this code you can slow down or speed up any action. i havnt tried, but i think it can be used with timers too,so you can choose with part of an action will be speeded up

 

[Mr Physych]

ok so i tried adding it into captain falcons u-Air it said the default type was a value so i changed it to scalar and set the value to 200, when it added the line it said 04070100: 1-C8, which i then placed under the first line which set the bit variable to true.
i dont really know what that does specificly and i havnt tested it yet (my room mate is using my wii) but how would i go about changing landing lag speed. do i just go to aerial landing and add that line, i'm unsure because they are empty to start with.

 

[rPSIvysaur]

That's 200x faster O.o... and yes

 

[Mr Physych]

ooh. i guessed it would be a percentage. how would i slow it down then? when i put in a decimal it rounds it to 0. also is there a guide or resource that defines all these commands , for example how did u guys figure out 04070100 was the speed command

 

[rPSIvysaur]

perhaps you're using a different speed up command then I use, but PSA shouldn't round... are you sure you have the newest version

 

[Mr Physych]

it says mine is version 0.1 beta, im not sure thats the newest one and if theres a newer one awesome. as for the rounding i set the paramater to a scalar, would that do it?

 

[rPSIvysaur]

There's a newer one:

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=244302&highlight=Attacks

 

[Kurausu]

@ Mr Physych:
for slowing down,you just have to type a number less then 1.that means 0,7 oder 0,1.
and for good help and the newer version go to kitty corp, a hacking page.
and by the way.maybe you shouldnt type in 200. i cant even imagine that the game can handle it^^

 

[SymphonicSage12]

I managed to speed up the endlag and startup lag of falcon punch by 50x (the hitbox area is the normal speed), and the game could handle it.


speeding up by 200x would probably make him fly across the stage and kill himself, seeing as how falcon punch makes him go forward a bit.

 

[Kurausu]

ok, you are mostly right, but i am always worrying that something could happen to the game.

 

[SymphonicSage12]

it might freeze up...then you'd just have to make it less insane so it doesn't freeze again. lolz
