alternate punches

[Bamboori]

well, actually i wanted to post this after i released my new char including it, but meh.

here it comes, the
tut for alternate punches

well, as we all know, a normal lf2 character has only 1 normal punch (2 if you count both normal, but they are pretty much the same).
what we also know is that you can use the hit_ tags in every frame.
so what about adding them into the punching frames?
for example you could put hit_j: 85 in the first punching frame, so that'll make the run attack if you press a+j.
this also works for jump attack.

we also know that if you press a direction key you will walk. we could add another hit_ tag here to let him do another punch while holding a direction key.

last thing (for now), alblaka found out that you can make the character do his dash attack by jumping in a direction if you replace the first jump attack frame state with state 5. that will make another punch.
don't worry about doing the real dash attack while jumping in a direction, you can also use the hit_a tag in the dashing frames (which should lead to the real dash attack then).
if you press back while jumping (and using this method), you will go to the dash_back frames where you could also put an alternate attack, but this one will be the same attack as if you'd dash, turn around and attack.

so all in all that makes:
-hit_d/j in punching (2)
-hit:d/j in jump attack (2)
-walk+hit_a tag (1+2 if you use the hit_j/d tags in the first "punching" frame as well)
-state 5 in jump attack (1+2 if you use the hit_j/d tags here as well+1 if you use the dash_back frames + hit_a)

so you can do 11 alternate punches without using special inputs. that should be enough.


btw OMG my first longer post without smilies!
