Completed Add Frames of Armor/Knockback Resistance to Action States

[rmn]

This replicates the knockback resistance functionality present in the later Smash installations, allowing the knockback from hits weaker than a specified threshold to be ignored (while damage is still dealt normally). Note that this effect is distinct from Yoshi's double jump armor, which is subtractive.

Knockback resistance can be added to any frame window of any action state for any character. Additionally, a color overlay may be specified to visually indicate when knockback resistance is active.

NNNNNNNN: Number of lines of code below this line. Will depend on the number of VV00WWWWXXYYZZZZ entries.

UUUUUUUU: Overlay color for frames of armor. RRGGBBAA. AA=00 to not use any overlay.

VV00WWWWXXYYZZZZ: Set armor for some frame window of an action state.
VV: Character ID
00: Unused space, may be used in a later version
WWWW: Action state ID
XX: Frame window start
YY: Frame window end. 00 for no frame window (in which case all frames of the AS will be armored)
ZZZZ: Knockback threshold--knockback below this value will be resisted. Value is specified as the upper 2 bytes of a 32-bit float.

Any number of VV00WWWWXXYYZZZZ entries may be inserted.

Spoiler: Example

This example code uses a magenta color overlay for armor frames and adds armor to two action states:

• Bowser will have functionally infinite knockback resistance during grounded fire breath.
• Nana will resist knockback of less than 50 during frames 13-14 of fsmash (same window as when the hitboxes are active).

This code was inspired by a request from The Cape for light armor at all times on Bowser (I think related to something from Smash 4?). That original code is here:

XXXX: Knockback threshold (upper half of a 32-bit float). Any knockback less than this value will be ignored.

 

[The Cape]

Love your codes dude. Going to likely add this to Bowser and Yoshi down B

With those, I would want to start it as they travel down and continue until it ends. Would I put 00 on the YY, or would that simply give the entire animation heavy armor?

 

[rmn]

Fixed the bug I mentioned, and everything should work fine now.

For Bowser and Yoshi's down B, they actually freeze on a single animation frame for their entire descent (and they use the same AS for the descent portion of down B regardless of if the move was initiated on the ground or in the air). For Bowser, he stays on frame 32 of AS 362 (0x16A). For Yoshi, it's frame 20 of AS 368 (0x170). You could give them armor during descent by having it active on only that frame, letting XX and YY be the same number.

 

[The Cape]

Mer,

Do you think you could do a code similar to this but allowing subtractive armor on specific moves?

 

[Stormghetti]

Petition to add a feature to flash an overlay color when you're hit during armor frames? Maybe even add the Smash charge shake effect when you're hit as well? Unless that's something to do with animations. I feel like this would also be a good indicator for armor frames because without the current overlay color activated, it kind of looks like you got a phantom hit. You don't get a fire aura when burnt and you don't get a darkness aura when hit by something with that element, which looks off. I don't want to make the armor frames look super obvious by making the character have an overlay color throughout the entirety of the move so I thought this would be a better alternative.
