Screen Activity Pause

[vktewari]

Well Here's another problem. While executing an attack I want all screen activity to pause. Please help me to do that.

[dazzapizza]

press F1 to pause normally and F10 to pause without the pause sign.

[Silverthorn]

If you don't care about the pause-logo, press F2 directly after your pressed the input for your attack. Press F2 again to move foward one TU. Pretty usefull if you want to study attacks precisely

[vktewari]

Think you don't get it. I want not to study the attacks. I want the all characters on the screen to stop moving while executing the attack to make it look nice. That's a DC question.

[Lauli]

Delete the bdy of the char and make a state: 18 object that permanently (Really permanently) hits other characters with a negative fall. That way the characters would stop moving aswell as all other balls that have a bdy.

And here's the ball:

Code:

<frame> 100 pause
   pic: 1000  state: 18  wait: 100  next: 1000  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 0  centery: 0  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   itr:
      kind: 0  x: -5000  y: -999  w: 999999  h: 99999  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  fall: -1 vrest: 1 bdefend: 100
   itr_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: -5000  y: -999  w: 999999  h: 99999
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>

But the effect is not as desired. The opponents keep shaking. And eventually they fall down.

[Lauli]

In the itr an zwidth: 999 is missing. And if opponents still fall down you need to try something else...

[vktewari]

I have noticed that they fall down when in the first frame of dashing they are hit.

[Silverthorn]

oh, I think this is because of the source code. When they are in this particular frame, their defense is 0, and regardless of the fall-value, they'll be knocked out. Dunno if there is any possibility to prevent that, though....

The shaking is caused by the itr itself. It's definately not designed to block others, especially kind: 0 :P
What you could also try is to change the itr to kind: 14, sometimes it works and sometimes not...
