Custom Subaction Event - Projectile/Item Spawn

[Punkline]

I got non-destructive subaction event inserts to work last night and had some fun with your subaction event Achilles1515 . I made Unown (pokemon, not the projectile) spawn before every hitbox, and it would pretty easily freeze the game; but sometimes not before the end of the world happened:

I think characters have a hitbox event when they take damage? sometimes? It causes a funny feedback loop that felt a bit like the gray goo scenario. Of course, this is REALLY easy to freeze the game with

Anyway, I think I've just figured out how to make event skips work smartly with this insert code, and have a prototype code you guys can use to play around with Achilles' code really easily @WinterWonter :

I've highlighted the insert event in red, so just use Achilles' specifications in his OP to play around with it. This is kind of a chopped up version of a bigger code I'm working on that will give this programmable logic and the ability to run programmable subroutines. At the moment it uses the input line (highlighted in yellow) to determine what event to search for, how big of an event to insert, and how big of an event to skip.

If you're feeling brave, you can use the specifications from my earlier post without the BB features to explore this a bit, but keep in mind I'm still debugging it and it's not capable of any filtering as it is. Things as simple as non-existent bone IDs in hitbox inserts will cause the game to crash. I'll be making a development thread for it soon, where I'll be adding features that make dealing with such problems very trivial.

You can make edits to this input line mid-game to experiment with different projectile IDs, behaviors when holding/launching, and velocities/offsets for Achilles' projectile subaction by following the branch that the c2 code here makes at 0x800732AC, copying the address you land at, and entering it into the memory panel. From there you can find "F4FF002F" in the hex and just alter it with the "set value" button. I actually prefer using cheat engine's Memory Viewer, because it resembles a hex editor and makes edits a lot faster @Ampers @Tater

Alternatively, you can do this to Crazy Hand edits by following the pointer at player.0x44C during a subaction that you've edited

---

Also, it'd be pretty sweet if we could figure out this projectile hitbox business. I have about ZERO experience with the .dat files, though Achilles was trying to give me a tasty hint in another thread about functions sometimes referencing an area in memory that apparently matches an offset from the PlCo.dat... Feel free to suggest any reading material if you think I could help. I've already got my eye on a few threads I've been meaning to read through.

 

[TragicGameplay]

hey I didn't see it on the event list but what is illusions projectile id or is it not a projectile

 

[tatatat0]

Nice work. Does anyone have where Link and Young link's boomerang hitbox offsets are?

 

[Gun.Rugger]

I don't know if any of my knowledge will help, but I'll leave what I know here:

First off, thanks to the wonderful tool that @DRGN made, you can actually see the exact ASM code used for every function called in a character's move logic table. All you have to do is paste the value into the RAM Address Conversion box in Melee Code Manager.

Keep in mind I'm not cut out for working with ASM, so I don't know a great deal in regards to the exact requirements for programming in it.

-Event to change a character's state (metal,invisible,giant, etc...) mid game.

Spoiler

All of these were accomplished by editing Captain Falcon's move logic table(located at 0x3C42B8 in Start.dol). I only saved documentation on the first edit I did, but it should give you an idea of my thought process:

Grounded Falcon kick gives Falcon metal until death(texture+physics)(JC-able)
00 00 01 37 00 34 02 14 15 00 00 00 80 0C 83 48 80 0C AE D0 80 0D 10 5C 80 0E 46 B8 80 07 61 C8

80 0C AE D0 is a function that lets you jump-cancel a grounded move at any time.

80 0C 83 48 is the function used to apply metal to a character. (Found thanks to wParam's notes: http://wparam.com/ssbm/notes.html)

80 0D 10 5C is the function that applies metal physics to a character. (Once again, found with wParam's notes.)

Don't remember what 80 0E 46 B8 is; I think it's just part of falcon's down-B.

80 07 61 C8 is a generic camera behavior function. Used in most moves.


The function calls for other effects in the video(Growing/shrinking, invisibility) are also in wParam's notes.

Since we can find the actual ASM code for all of these with MCM, it may be easy to create custom events that use the same code.

-Event to allow jump cancels

Spoiler

This could be more doable than you think, actually. Since there's already function calls for enabling/disabling autocancels with aerials(4C 00 00 0X). My thought is if we can find the ASM for autocancel calls, we might be able to re-configure it for jump cancels. It's probably not as simple as I laid it out, but you never know.

-Event to change character's velocity

Spoiler

This one could also be pretty easy, actually. Since there are events inside captain falcon/ganondorf's aerial neutral-B that effect character velocity (I'd imagine that one function or another listed in the move logic for their aerial neutral-Bs handles the event calls) it may be as simple as making the game always listen for a custom event to be called and then re-using the function falcon/ganon use.

Hey, all. Sorry for the necro-post here on this quiet thread, but can someone please give me the ELI5 on this post? Also, disclaimer: I am super noob

I have been messing with crazy hand and have successfully gotten the self healing sub-action to work (used it for Young Link's taunt)
Now I am trying to get Mario's taunt to give him a power mushroom. So far using the Custom Subaction Event - Projectile/Item Spawn I can give my opponent the mushroom effect (which is pretty hilarious) even when using the "launch projectile". It makes a mushroom, I grab that mushroom, and the opponent gets buffed haha.

For science I am trying to use the code posted by @Tater to activate the metal effect (I figure that will get me one step closer to the desired effect). Following this logic, I have put the following codes in as subaction data:
80 0C 83 48 - The function used to apply metal to a character. (Found thanks to wParam's notes: http://wparam.com/ssbm/notes.html)
80 0D 10 5C - The function that applies metal physics to a character. (Once again, found with wParam's notes.)

I have tried putting the values into crazy hand like so:
http://imgur.com/3FsYRwR
I have tried using the hex editor, clearing out the attack data and putting only the code in like so:
http://imgur.com/JZNz38m
I have tried using the converter in the Melee Code Manager, but I don't really know what I'm doing, and I presume that that converter is used for making gecko codes out of memory addresses somehow. Not confirmed. Any help on this would be rad.

 

[The Cape]

So I looked at this and made Ganon summon a sword into his hand during his taunt. Is there a way to make the item disappear as soon as Ganon lets go of it, so he can't throw it? Tried the duration to no avail.

 

[PikaSwag]

I Inserted the gecko code and added a subaction that spawned a projectile (Chikorita's leaf) on luigi's neutral b. Melee loads but the game crashes as soon as i use neutral b. did i do something wrong?

I dont think you need a gecko code. i put 800D170C into falcons down b in 'action physics'. did you try putting it there?

Thanks, AAAAAA .

That totally worked for Capon Falctain's Down-B. Thank you. Do you have any ideas on how to apply this same general effect to mario's taunt? Move logic for mario is not available (see: https://smashboards.com/threads/cra...-editing-program.389500/page-30#post-21463988), and I can't seem to find a subaction event that will accomplish it. Thanks again for the help.

While i didnt find an answer for this, i found something that might help. If you open up start.dol in a hex editor, you can find a characters move logic, but you would need to know what the flags are for a move. The porblem here is is that you dont know any of that for mario's taunt.

 

[Sour-Slug]

Hey I have been trying to get this to work for a while, new to this sort of thing. (also sorry if I should have asked this somewhere else). (using dolphin with fresh iso)

I finally got some things to spawn, but most projectiles crash or freeze the game. for example, I just edited Fox's jab for testing and had it set to spawn his laser. one spawns in fine (has no hitbox) and when attempting to spawn in another the game crashes. trying to spawn Samus's charge-shot also causes a freeze. even when she is in the game, which I would assume it loads her data in.

Just wanted to know if I did something wrong or if it is just finicky. also a note, most things spawned in seem to not have any hitboxes, have not tried with everything.

Inject this code into your ISO (I suggest using DRGN's Code Manager) and then you can start modifying subaction data to include this new command.

Custom Subaction Format (0x10 in length):

F4FFZZAA XXXXYYYY VVVVZZZZ SSSSTTTT

F4 = subaction command byte (always keep as 0xF4)
FF = flag for custom function (always keep as 0xFF)
ZZ = Flags

00 = launch created item​

01 = give created item to player​

AA = article/projectile/item ID
XXXX = x-offset from player TopN [float]
YYYY = y-offset from player TopN [float]
VVVV = x-velocity [float]
ZZZZ = y-velocity [float]
SSSS = model scale [float]
TTTT = time to expire [float]



NOTES:

• TopN is basically the base of your character. Use the x & y offset to move the starting location of the item/projectile.
• Items labeled with [float] are values expressed as floating point numbers. BUT, only the first half of the floating point number. Use this website to convert your decimal number into floating point hex. Then chop off the last half of it.
• Positive x-axis values are in front of the character. Positive y-axis values are up.
• Model scale doesn't work for some things (Blastoise's water & Chikorita's leaf for example. It seems to work for regular items).
• Time to expire, offsets, & velocities are ignored if the created item is given to a character
• MANY of the items/projectiles that are not meant to be thrown/spawned in such a manner cause the game to freeze, especially character specific items. Some Pokemon can be spawned without problems. Experiment.

Where is the homerun bat?

I got non-destructive subaction event inserts to work last night and had some fun with your subaction event Achilles1515 . I made Unown (pokemon, not the projectile) spawn before every hitbox, and it would pretty easily freeze the game; but sometimes not before the end of the world happened:

I think characters have a hitbox event when they take damage? sometimes? It causes a funny feedback loop that felt a bit like the gray goo scenario. Of course, this is REALLY easy to freeze the game with

Anyway, I think I've just figured out how to make event skips work smartly with this insert code, and have a prototype code you guys can use to play around with Achilles' code really easily @WinterWonter :

I've highlighted the insert event in red, so just use Achilles' specifications in his OP to play around with it. This is kind of a chopped up version of a bigger code I'm working on that will give this programmable logic and the ability to run programmable subroutines. At the moment it uses the input line (highlighted in yellow) to determine what event to search for, how big of an event to insert, and how big of an event to skip.

If you're feeling brave, you can use the specifications from my earlier post without the BB features to explore this a bit, but keep in mind I'm still debugging it and it's not capable of any filtering as it is. Things as simple as non-existent bone IDs in hitbox inserts will cause the game to crash. I'll be making a development thread for it soon, where I'll be adding features that make dealing with such problems very trivial.

You can make edits to this input line mid-game to experiment with different projectile IDs, behaviors when holding/launching, and velocities/offsets for Achilles' projectile subaction by following the branch that the c2 code here makes at 0x800732AC, copying the address you land at, and entering it into the memory panel. From there you can find "F4FF002F" in the hex and just alter it with the "set value" button. I actually prefer using cheat engine's Memory Viewer, because it resembles a hex editor and makes edits a lot faster @Ampers @Tater

Alternatively, you can do this to Crazy Hand edits by following the pointer at player.0x44C during a subaction that you've edited

---

Also, it'd be pretty sweet if we could figure out this projectile hitbox business. I have about ZERO experience with the .dat files, though Achilles was trying to give me a tasty hint in another thread about functions sometimes referencing an area in memory that apparently matches an offset from the PlCo.dat... Feel free to suggest any reading material if you think I could help. I've already got my eye on a few threads I've been meaning to read through.

How did you do it?! I also want that the same as you did but with Moltres, and the only question is how is it done? How do I put it? Where do I add it?

PSD: I am using Crazy Hand v1.31 and it has the Custom Spawn Projectile option and I was going to add that in Kirby's 'Jab 1' in "Subactions (attacks only)" so add it and replace the Hitbox (20 bytes) with Spawn Projectile (16 bytes) then Crazy Hand revealed it to me with several reports such as: launch projectile, size scaling, X and Y Velocity, X and Y Offset and Duration.

So there add: A7 Moltres, Duration: 250, X and Y Velocity: 1, X and Y Offset: 5 and "launch projectile" (occasionally there is the option to 'give projectile to player' but I don't know what it means but anyway I also tried that method).

Once I finished all that in 'jab 1' in Kirby I saved and closed Crazy Hand because I already gave it the 'save' option then I opened the Dolphin and opened my ISO and it turns out when I select Kirby and I do with Jab 1, NO DOES NOTHING! OR NOTHING COMES OUT, what's more, if I edited everything necessary for Moltres to come out in that mov. attack for Kirby but it turns out Moltres doesn't appear on stage! And not only that I tried with more attacks that Kirby uses as 'Forward Smash', 'Forward Tilt', 'Dash Attack', 'Up Smash', 'Down Smash' among others and IT IS THE SAME STILL NOT THE PROJECTILE I ADDED, But I still need a lot of help on how to add a projectile to each character move (100% EXPLAINED). If someone does, I would appreciate it VERY MUCH for this explanation and very hard work they have done. Good Luck!

2022 Edit:

At the end of 2021, I now know how that code works, I was totally wrong. Sorry for my emotions, at that time (2020) I was very nervous about how to program...

But well, that thing is learned little by little XD
