Problems with self-grabbing

[Dragon5]

I'm trying to figure out how to do the self-grab, but it keeps cancelling out. I can't seem to find the problem.
This is an attempt at the method brought up on YinYin's "Counter Skill" thread


Code for spawning the object and the action intended:

DC-Code: <frame> 124 defend pic: 56 state: 7 wait: 0 next: 999 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 37 centery: 79 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 235 hit_Fj: 247 hit_Uj: 275 wpoint: kind: 1 x: 46 y: 51 weaponact: 21 attacking: 0 cover: 0 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 wpoint_end: bdy: kind: 0 x: 20 y: 19 w: 38 h: 60 bdy_end: opoint: kind: 1 x: 11 y: 4 action: 390 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 oid: 204 facing: 1 opoint_end: <frame_end>   <frame> 125 defend pic: 56 state: 7 wait: 2 next: 110 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 37 centery: 79 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 235 hit_Fj: 247 hit_Uj: 275 wpoint: kind: 1 x: 46 y: 51 weaponact: 21 attacking: 0 cover: 0 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 wpoint_end: bdy: kind: 0 x: 20 y: 19 w: 38 h: 60 bdy_end: cpoint: kind: 2 x: 10 y: 79 fronthurtact: 299 backhurtact: -299 cpoint_end: <frame_end>

The object's code:

DC-Code: <frame> 390 dummy pic: 0 state: 18 wait: 29 next: 1000 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 20 centery: 0 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 bdy: kind: 0 x: 21 y: 18 w: 43 h: 62 bdy_end: itr: kind: 3 x: 20 y: 25 w: 1 h: 1 vrest: 7 catchingact: 125 125 caughtact: 125 125 itr_end: cpoint: kind: 1 x: 0 y: 79 vaction: 125 cpoint_end: <frame_end>

The objects frame 125 is somewhat of interest. Cpoints are to be used from that frame on - not together with the itr.
Also the negative backhurtact looks interesting - usually the negative turning feature only works directly from next, but I have never experimented with the hurtacts before so who knows.

I placed the cpoint on frame 124 and now it shifts to frame 0 no matter what I do when I activate that frame.
I know the data on the post says next: 999 but that happens anyway even with next: 0. Am I on the right track or not? He doesn't jump anymore.

I just tried the negative action from an actual grab and the game crashed. Since this is like a psuedo grab, hopefully things will be different. If anything, I can just make an action that turns him around. Albeit slightly slower, it should be fair.

I'm talking about catchingact: 125 - frame 125 of the object. That's where it goes to when the itr kind 3 connects. That's where you have the cpoint that holds your character inside the frame with the front and backhurtact.
