Character: Banter - baseball bandit

(06-16-2019, 01:09 AM)STM1993 Wrote:  There is a way to solve the problem of infinitely spawning real bats, and I think you already figured it out, but I'll specify my solution anyway: make sure you use a wpoint with a very high x-coordinate(more than 3200 which is the width of Lion Forest, the longest map) during the picked_caught and falling frames. This way, whenever Banter is forced to drop his weapon, he will do so by simply dropping them offscreen and thus deleting the weapon.

I did not and this is simple and brilliant, thanks!

This happens because the bat is held in a position at or below y: 0 when the weapon itself went past the map boundary. Either raise the wpoint y-coordinate, or change cover: 1 to cover: 0 (same as Template). This works because Marti made cover: 1 work by shifting the z-axis of the weapon up by 2px, and then dropped the y-axis of the weapon by 2px to compensate, and this coincidentally caused the bat to be below the ground during rolling.

Cool thing to know, already done it, as I set cover 0 to make it looks more, like he holds bad in different hand.

Probably not gonna happen. But while we're at it, some healing - baseball theme new move could be added.
I can still make him pick up heavy weapons. Oh man, heavy milk bottle would be nice addition, hah.

Wouldnt' that make them randomly go to flaming frames while bouncing?
But true, frames 0 - 15 were used. Every 5th frame opoint an invisible state 18 type 3 for a short while, to avoid smoke. Banter has special itr in his weapon_attack frames and if he hits the type 3, it goes to rebounding frames, spawning flaming ball. Actually improved it already and added bdefend 100 itr to all of its frames, to destroy the original normal ball.

Code:
<frame> 5 in_the_sky
   pic: 5  state: 1000  wait: 0  next: 6  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 24  centery: 35  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0

Just directly spawn the baseball the same way Henry/Rudolf/Hunter do, and make sure the frame it goes to has state 1002 such as frame 40.

That's how it's done. He doesnt't ever spawn baseballs in hand, the bat on the gif just hides behind him.

Yeah, no way.

something similar to this

I prefer not to make new sprites if original ones works, but this swing effect would be nice addition to what's already there.
