How to make a helper change their parent ?

So what I did to the parent state is have the state detect a specific var change from the helper that it spawned.
The parent waits for var(5) to become 1 to trigger a ChangeState, and the helper sets var(5) to 1 when the helper hits the enemy (trigger = MoveHit).
But the parent state won't change even if var(5) is set to 1 by the helper.
I'll post the code if required.

You can't change a helper's parent, parent's the thing that created the helper (or root, i know they work in a similair way but i don't know what's the difference, so you should look it up), as simple as that.

What you want to do when you want to get a helper's variable is something like this
trigger1 = numhelper('put the id of the helper you want to use here'), var(5) = 1 (you can simplify it by not writing the "= 1" part)

This code will get variable 5 from THE helper, what you were trying to do was to get variable 5 from the character itself (in other words: you)

Oh so that's the problem.

I'll try it later after school. Thanks man !

It works !

But actually I need to correct you on something.
It supposed to be helper(ID), not numhelper(ID)

And somehow the helper's var won't change even after a VarSet, so I just use what the var are supposed to trigger as a trigger for the parent.

Thanks again !

Dammit, it's true, i use numhelper so much that i now call helper numhelper too

Anyhow, about changing a variable's value, i think you can only change it inside the state of the helper, but yeah, what you did should work perfectly too

It is a generally good MUGEN practice to make the 1st first TriggerAll or Trigger1 to be "NumHelper(###)", after this then safely can add the "Helper(###), blah blah blah" MUGEN Trigger Redirection......
