[solved] how do you make a catching ball

[Alblaka]

My bad, i just exspected you to know that fact already...

If you want to make a catching ball object you DO NOT start with a ball object and add catching thingys.
Instead, take a char's catching frame and modify it.

As you need state: 9, cpoints and the other stuff that's hardcoded for random reasons..


Your new problem requires hit_j: 50.
Works like a dvz: 550 for T3 objects ^^

I guess I'm a total n00b cause I'm not understanding :S

If you want to properly catch things, you should copy the catching frames from characters.
This mainly includes state:9 because that is the official "catching state" (and will enable the cpoint) and a fitting cpoint.

If you are using state:9, tags like "cover:" will work, otherwise they don't ^^


To prevent your bola from running up/downwards, set the hit_j: value of all catching frames to 50.
In T3-objects (balls, bolas, etc) dvz does not work and instead you need to use hit_j. (dunno why it was coded that way).
hit_j: 50 means no z-axis-movement, 49 means 1 px movement upwards, 51 means 1px downwards etc.
hit_j 50 will prevent any movement on the z-axis.

Thanks for the help Alblaka
I used the Ultimate Dragon Ball Mod - (unfinished - used sprites from Jump Ultimate Stars) Gotenks's galactic donut.. I just needed teh dvz: 550 I believe.. But I added it in the x and y too too lazy to test if it works other wise but styll... it works LIVE TINGZ! YEYE
