State 5 - Dash

state: 5 is used for the dash. As long as dvx is 0, you can use the direction-keys to change the direction of the character, like state: 4. If you run to the right and press left you'll go to frame 214. If you press right again you'll go back to frame 213. Pressing A will take your character to frame 90 (dash_attack).

Technical note

The dashing state uses y-axis-velocity, direction control and initial direction to interchange between 4 frames, namely 213, 214, 216 and 217.
The 4 frames represent the following:
213: Forward dash 1
214: Forward dash 2
216: Back-facing dash 1
217: Back-facing dash 2

If a character is in frame 213, pressing opposite direction will go to 216, vice versa.
If he is in frame 214, pressing opposite direction will go to 217, vice versa.
If he changes into frame 213 or 216, there's no hidden cooldown and frame countdown is refreshed.

If hit_a parameter is 0 and character is in frame 213 or 216, character will check if he holds a weapon when A is pressed.
If he holds weapon he goes to frame 40 (dash_weapon_attack)
If he doesn't hold, he goes to frame 90 (dash_attack)

Henry and Hunter can use dash backward shoot because there is hit_a: 81 written on frame 214 and 217.
