Richter in sonic, anim troubles

as you can see his Whip only has 2 frames to the anim but it ain't suppose to.

Code:

charani_Whip: dc.b $10, $3B, $3C, $3D, $FF, $FF, $FF

Suppose to have 3.

It's code thus far

Code:

Richter_Whip:

 

  tst.b   ($FFFFFFFE).w						   ; is the character Sonic?

			    beq	 WhipEnd

  tpress C,(SonicControl) ; is A, B or C pressed?

  beq.w WhipEnd ; if not, branch

			    move.b #$24,$1C(a0)  ; use Spin Dash animation

  move.w #$C0,d0 ;$FD1

  jsr (PlaySound_Special).l

  addq.l #4,sp   ; avoid Sonic_Jump call

  ;move.b #2,$39(a0)  ; set Spin Dash flag

  move.w #2,$3A(a0)



WhipEnd:

  rts

in the video i'm using a modded Sonic_Jump code, making sure to cancel out X & Y movement

and yes i also added the anim to Touch_Enemy to kill badniks.



the first three frames i'm needing to work, (Taken from SonMapEd)

somewhat the same thing happens with his Slide, except just one quick frame

anim

Code:

charani_slide: dc.b 3, $44, $45, $46, $FF, $FF, $FF

code

Code:

Richter_Slide:

  tst.b ($FFFFFFFE).w   ; is sonic

  bne Richter_Slide_Rts ; Branch to play DASH

  cmpi.b #8,$1C(a0)	  ; is Sonic rolling? - DON"T

  bne.s Richter_Slide_Rts  ; if no, branch

  btst #7,$22(a0)  ; was Jump Dash flag set?

  bne.s Richter_Slide_Rts  ; if yes, branch

  tpress C,(SonicControl) ; is A, B or C pressed?

  beq.w Richter_Slide_Rts  ; if not, branch

  bset #7,$22(a0)  ; set Jump Dash flag



 

  move.w #$A4,d0   ; play JD sound

  jsr (PlaySound_Special).l   ;

  move.w #-$800,$12(a0)  ; set Jump Dash speed

  btst #10,$2a(a0)  ; is sonic left?

  beq.s Slide_Move   ; if yes, branch

 

  move.b #$26,$20(a0) ;13, 1E  ; ++ use the spring animation

  bset #2,$22(a0) ;#2 $22   ; ++ clear the "jumping or rolling" flag

  move.w #$680,d2  ; clear Y-velocity

  btst #6,$22(a0)  ; is Sonic underwater?

  beq.s Richter_Slide_ChkShoes

  subi.w #$300,$10(a0)  ; set speed to $600

 

Richter_Slide_ChkShoes:

  tst.b ($FFFFFE2E).w  ; does Sonic have speed shoes?

  beq.s Richter_Slide_ChkOrientation ; if not, branch

  addi.w #$200,$10(a0)  ; set speed to $B00 or $500 if underwater

Richter_Slide_ChkOrientation:

  btst #0,$22(a0)

  beq.s Richter_Slide_Rts

  neg.w $10(a0)

Slide_Move:

  move.b #$20,$1C(a0)  

  move.w #$800, $12  ; clear Y-velocity

			  

Richter_Slide_Rts:

  rts

yes it's a modded spindash, the tst.b at the begining to make sure sonic don't use it.


what i'm wanting him to do is just change animation for the whip, so the same can be used for Crouch_whip and Jump_Whip (which in time richter's whip would use 2 seperate tiles, cues, & mappings like it is with Tails' tails but not wanting this at the moment.)

[/CODE]

 

In a video from youtube, we can't count how many frames he's meant to have. The Genesis has 60 frames (or 50, whatever country you have it set on), but Youtube does a max of 30. So in this video, there's frames missing anyway.


Anyway, to the point:



charani_slide: dc.b 3, $44, $45, $46, $FF, $FF, $FF



First things first, edit that 3. The first digit normally represents how fast the animation should go. The higher the number, the slower it will go. So, if you think it's going too fast, set it to 6 or something then try.


If you're trying to make that long whip actually kill a badnik, you might want to add more to Sonic's/Richter's x_radius, so he has more of a hitting point, just make sure to put it back to normal after it's been used.

 

I know that much already. for the whip i set to $2F and it goes slow when he's moving, however still to quick when standing still.

i'll give that a shot, but like i said for now it's one sprite till that part's out of the way. then i can make it 2 seperate sprites so it would be more accurate (in other words, doing this will have only the whip dishing out damage and not richter's body as well) i can easily find some sonic 2 code meant for tails and his tails and mod it for richter's whip

 

Could be wrong, but from the video it looks like the animation doesn't finish because he reverts back to walking too soon.


Perhaps maybe there would be a whip flag that prevents him from walking again until he's done whipping.


Again, I suck at code and am probably wrong.

 

when moving, the whip uses all 3 frames, when stationary it uses only 1. i find this odd, but am gonna have it so only stationary he throws the whip.

 

The problem could be in "Sonic_Move:", more precisely this line:




move.b #5,$1C(a0) ; use "standing" animation



It forces Sonic to use the standing animation, because the default animation is the walking animation. So to make it short the logic is as follow: if Sonic is not walking, not rolling and he's on the ground, then he's standing. When in your hack you aren't moving, then object 01 is not walking, not rolling and is on the ground, so it uses the standing animation.
