Reset animation when you land from a fall?

Well as the title is stated, I'm trying to use a falling style fall by using the falling animation at the begining of certain levels.(like sonic 3k) I have coded a routine, which checks if sonic is on the desired level, and then if he is, use the falling animation. Now I moved his location more up in the air so he falls into the level and while falling, use the falling animation. The problem is after he lands he still uses the falling animation, while moving, jumping, rolling ect. I want to reset his animation when he lands so he carries on like normal. I hope I have explained myself well enough to understand my situation here. I believe Puto has done this in sonic 1 remastered, and I have also asked Selbi but he doesn't know either. I would really appreciaed it, if someone could help me with this problem. I can provide a video of it, if you dn't understand. Thank you for reading.

 

One somewhat sloppy suggestion would be to have a checkfor an x-position, followed by a check for a y-position, and only when these two conditions are met the falling animation is used. So for example, if sonic's start position is at 0100 00E0 then have a check to see if #$101 is the x position, if it's less than that then use the falling animation, but to avoid further bugs have the y-position check following so that you can only have that animation when falling from that certain x/y position.


(I may have explained that badly, if you don't understand what i mean, PM me or hit me up on IRC)

 

I've been thinking on it again and I think I have an solution: To the place you are changing his animation to fall, put this:



tst.b ($FFFFFFE5).w ; was flag set?
bne.s DontChangeToFall ; if yes, don't change the animation to fall


*code which changes sonic's anim*


DontChangeToFall:


...



In Sonic_ResetOnFloor put this just at the beginning:



move.b #1,($FFFFFFE5).w ; set flag



And finally in Obj3A_NextLevel put this at the beginning as well:



clr.b ($FFFFFFE5).w ; clear flag



Hopefully it works, sicne I haven't tested it.

 

Not quite, he dosn't use the falling animation at all now.(I done something simular before) Even when he is supposed to be when falling, but not landing.


Edit: Here is the code:

Code:

FallfromSky: 

				cmpi.b	#2,($FFFFFE10).w; is this marble zone

				bne.s   Returntosubroutine

				cmpi.b	#0,($FFFFFE11).w; is this act 1

				bne.s   Returntosubroutine

				move.w	#2, ($FFFFFD4E).w  

FallintoLevel:				

				cmpi.w	#2, ($FFFFFD4E).w 

				bne.s   Returntosubroutine

				tst.b	($FFFFFFE5).w; was flag set?

				bne.s	Returntosubroutine; if yes, don't change the animation to fall

				move.b  #$1B,$1C(a0)			   						

				................................&#59;Was branch to sonic_resetonfloor

				bra.s   Returntosubroutine

 

Sorry for double post, I just tried this on fusion, but it doesn't work. However, for some reason it works on gens +. So Selbi in a way gets the points. But I don't know why it doesn't work on fusion.

 

Because Fusion sucks. There are so many things which are working on one emulator, but not at the other one, just like Sonic 65's Sound Driver.

 

Fusion doesn't sucks, the only thing is that it's more accurate and more similar to real hardware than Gens. That's why some hacks crash in Fusion. =P
