Common character errors and the fixes

Hello MMV

The purpose of this post is to provide the MMV community with common errors on characters, along with the fixes. If you have a common error along with the fix please feel free to post it here.

This is another project of mine that will take a while to build a good database. I've been wanting to start this for a long time. I'm just starting the thread now with a couple recent errors with characters that I have been shown along with how to fix them. I will add more soon, as I probably have a few more of these error and fixes ready to copy paste from helping via private message.


Please always backup your character before modifying it


Error:
Characters can attack before the round.


The fix:
Statedef 190 (or one of the intro states) has:
ctrl=1  <---------- change this to 0 to remove control as you should never have control on an intro

Another place this can be is in the character's CNS or the common1.cns file:
Statedef 5900
ctrl=1  <---------- change this to 0 to remove control as you should never have control before an intro


Error:
When attacking in air the players air velocity stops


The Fix:
You will have to do this for every jumping attack move that sets velocity to 0

; Jump Light Punch
; CNS difficulty: easy

[StateDef 600]
type = A
movetype= A
physics = A
juggle  = 1
velset = 0,0   <---- remove this code as it stops the player from moving while in air
ctrl = 0
anim = 600
poweradd = 20
sprpriority = 2

And a couple more just for fun...

Error:
Character walks on air, and doesn't fall to ground.

The Fix:
Add to this code to your character's statedef -2

;Are you floating?
[State -2, 0000]
type = ChangeState
triggerall = pos y < 0  ; when above ground level
triggerall = vel y = 0  ; and velocity is 0
trigger1 = time >= 1
value = 50     ; go back to jump state


Error:
Character can juggle hits underground.

The Fix:
Add this code to your character's statedef -3

;Prevent Undergound Juggles
[State -3, 0000]
type= targetbind
trigger1= movehit=1
trigger1= numtarget=1 && numenemy
trigger1= (target,time<=1) && (target,ID=enemynear,ID); this is just to prevent Simul issues as usual
trigger1= !(target,hitshakeover) && (target, hitfall) && (target, pos y>0)
pos= ceil(p2dist x), ceil(-pos y); keeps P2 at the same horizontal distance, but resets his Y position
ignorehitpause= 1

Useful advices
Thanks a lot
