Need Help from a Coder to modify basic attacks during an Hyper state

Hello there !

I was reworking (graphically) one of the old characters I worked on some years ago, and decided to change some gameplay elements in the meantime.

My problem is: this character has an Hyper state, with a bar and all, during which he hits harder. I noticed that there was stronger anim into the character that were based on the same sprite as basic attacks, but stronger.
So I want to add these anims as the new basic attacks only during the Hyper state. Like replace the weak, medium and strong punch by something else, but only temporarily.

I've tried to do it myself, but nothing happens. I:

- Putted this into the commands input:
[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 205 (<- this is the state of the new attack)
triggerall = Command = "x"
triggerall = Command != "holddown"
triggerall= var(20) = 3
trigger1 = (StateType = S) && (Ctrl)

- And I putted this into the states:
[Statedef 205]
type    = S
movetype= A
physics = S
juggle  = 4
ctrl = 0
anim = 205
poweradd = 15
sprpriority = 2

[State 205, VelMul, corrida]
type = VelMul
trigger1 = Time = 0
trigger1 = PrevStateNo = 100
x = .8

[State 205, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 =  AnimElem = 1
value = 8400,0

[State 205, HitDef]
type = HitDef
trigger1 = time=0
attr = S,NA
damage = 20,2
animtype = Med
guardflag = MA
hitflag = HAF
priority = 4, Hit
pausetime = 10,10
sparkno = s7770
sparkxy = -10, -60
guard.sparkno = s6767
hitsound = 5,0
guardsound = 6,0
ground.type = High
ground.slidetime = 15
ground.hittime  = 15
ground.velocity = -6
air.type = Low
air.hittime = 15
air.velocity = -6,-5
envshake.time = 1
envshake.ampl = 1

[State 205, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = AnimTime = 0
value = 0
ctrl = 1

-------------
The anim is here and all, but when I use this Hyper state, my character still use his basic punch.
Any ideas here ?
I would prefer if someone could do it for me (especially if I'm totally mistaken in my method), but knowing we're all really busy, just some tips or ideas might be enough.
Thanks in advance

I think you should add new trigger with that hyper name ...but i m sure it s not so simple

Try this
Change your Hyper state trigger to activate when your character enters Hyper state:
[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 205 ; New Hyper state
triggerall = Command = "x"
triggerall = Command != "holddown"
trigger1 = var(20) = 3
trigger2 = var(21) = 1 ; You might need to set up a variable to track the Hyper state
trigger3 = var(22) = 0 ; This variable should be 1 when exiting the Hyper stateModify the Hyper state definition (State 205) to handle the animations during the Hyper state:[Statedef 205]
type = S
movetype= A
physics = S
juggle = 4
ctrl = 0
poweradd = 15
sprpriority = 2
anim = 205 ; Set your Hyper state animation here

[State 205, VelMul, corrida]
type = VelMul
trigger1 = Time = 0
x = .8

[State 205, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 = AnimElem = 1
value = 8400,0

[State 205, HitDef]
type = HitDef
trigger1 = time=0
attr = S,NA
damage = 20,2
animtype = Med
guardflag = MA
hitflag = HAF
priority = 4, Hit
pausetime = 10,10
sparkno = s7770
sparkxy = -10, -60
guard.sparkno = s6767
hitsound = 5,0
guardsound = 6,0
ground.type = High
ground.slidetime = 15
ground.hittime = 15
ground.velocity = -6
air.type = Low
air.hittime = 15
air.velocity = -6,-5
envshake.time = 1
envshake.ampl = 1

[State 205, ChangeState]
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = AnimTime = 0
value = 0
ctrl = 1
This code should ensure that when your character enters the Hyper state (triggered by your conditions), it plays the animations defined in State 205 instead of the basic punch animations (State 100). You might need to adjust the trigger conditions further based on your specific character and game logic. Make sure you have a variable (e.g., var(21)) to track the Hyper state and another (e.g., var(22)) to exit it when needed.

Not sure I get everything, but I'll try your idea as much as I can !
Thanks!

@crosspotts1.0 i'm impressed with what you said here

Me tooo

I'm just assuming that this code (triggerall= var(20) = 3) is the hyper command when active. If I am correct here than what you need to do is go through the normal attacks and add the code

triggerall= var(20) != 3        

Doing this will make the normal attacks NOT work when var 20 is not equal to 3

When Var 3 is = to 3 than those NEW attacks will now work.

Like this

[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 200
triggerall= var(20) != 3

[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 205
triggerall= var(20) = 3

OR (IF) Var(20)=3 is not what i thought it was up top than use the code below.. Like i said i need to know what var(20)=3

[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 200
triggerall= stateno != [3000,3999]

[State -1, X]
type = ChangeState
value = 205
triggerall= stateno = [3000,3999]



If Var(20) = 3 is Not the hyper timer than can you tell me what it is, that will help out much.

Thanks for all of that !
It's been a while, so I'm not sure what state it is, but I think that's the state of the Hyper.
The character was the latest Azrael I released (you can find it around here), but I'm not sure when I will go back working on it (and doing Mugen in general). You're welcome to check it by yourself if it's no bother for you
What you wrote was really instructive anyway, so I'll try to do what you recommended when I can !

Thanks again
