Making Armor Without id

[Zabobula]

if you're a newbie dc'er
don't even bother trying, it's hard enough for the advanced ones of us already

That's not encouraging.

Me personally I can't think off too many other solutions other than using Louis and the Knight for reference material.

I'd go with itr's although its cheap, it can be effective.

Example:
itr:
kind: 0 x: 21 y: 31 w: 70 h: 18 dvx: 12 fall: 70 bdefend: 16
effect: 23
itr_end:

Implement this in standing, walking or running frames. As you can see there is no injury and your opponent will get knocked back but no damage will be inflicted on him. So in a way, it acts as a sort of deflective armor. Maybe not the same as Louis's but still pretty effective.

PS: Note the W: 70. The regular value will be alot smaller than this but if you increase this number then the width area of effect will be increased as well. You can also increase the h: to a larger value. As you may have guessed h indicates the height.

So adding on to the "deflective" shield idea. It may not be armor but this is an alternative.
