2 in 1 character

Hello. I am working on dark phoenix update.
I wanted to make 2 in 1 character Phoenix and Dark Phoenix.
So whatever she can appear in a hyper combo or be selected with another button.
Whatever. I need help with coding. Someone only needs to guide me, because i never did 2 in 1 char
You can reply me here or contact me private. Thanks

I think you can copy the code from Brad and Zombie Brad by armin_iuf. Its the best option I can give you. Good Luck

Unfortunately I don't know how.

Perhaps you could make few different hypers and specials but later separate it, making work in different palettes (modes). For example, look how it works at Superman Beyond.

You can do something similar to Exile's Emma Frost, with her normal and her diamond mode. You can activate the differents modes with a hyper.

yes that.

There are a few different ways to implement it. Here I will cover the two most common.

The 2 most common:
1. By Palette
2. By Variable

Both require to you have the following:
1. Sprite set for both characters in the SFF
-need the sprites added that are different than the original character
2. Animations for both characters in the AIR
-need the animations added that are different than the original character
3. Code to differentiate the separate characters
-this is where you would use either palette or variable as a trigger
-any move that differs, would be coded twice (once for the original character and second for the second character using a variable or palette to trigger the change)

----------------------------------------------------

By Palette:
Pro:
Can choose a different character from the select screen
Con:
Can't change within the game


Parts of the code:

Example Trigger to differentiate:
trigger1 = PalNo = 5
 Returns true if the current palette number is 5.
trigger1 = PalNo != 5
 Returns true if the current palette number is NOT 5.


Here is a couple examples that use palette for reference:
Superman Beyond by Angelus_Silverhead
Superman by Hannibal, Kal Elvis, Seth Zankuten
Batman by Alucard and Magus

-----------------------------------------------

By Variable:
Pro:
Can change within the game
Con:
Can't choose a different character from the select screen
Need extra code to switch within game


Parts of the code:

Code to switch:
You will need a move to switch between your two characters in game. A power-up or transformation move that changes your variable

Example Trigger to differentiate:
trigger1 = Var(0) = -34
 Triggers if the value of variable 0 is -34.
trigger1 = Var(0) != -34
 Triggers if the value of variable 0 is not -34.


Here is a couple examples that use Variable for reference:
Shang Tsung by Omegapsycho
William Birkin by Armin_iuf

Hey, could you explain how to change to a different stand in a different palette?

First welcome to the forum.

Here is an example of the palette code I just mocked up for you.
This will change different stances between 2 palettes, and could be modified to do others as well.
I used palette number 5 for the example.

Code goes in common1.cns or character.cns file:
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Stand
[Statedef 0]
type = S
physics = S
sprpriority = 0

[State 0, 1]
type = ChangeAnim
trigger1 = PalNo != 5 ;<------ Trigger when NOT palette number 5
trigger2 = Anim != 0 && Anim != 5
trigger3 = Anim = 5 && AnimTime = 0 ;Turn anim over
value = 0   ;<------ Normal Stance (Anim 0)

[State 0, 1]
type = ChangeAnim
trigger1 = PalNo = 5 ;<------ Trigger when palette number 5
trigger2 = Anim != 1 && Anim != 5
trigger3 = Anim = 5 && AnimTime = 0 ;Turn anim over
value = 1   ;<------ Second Stance (Anim 1)

[State 0, 2]
type = VelSet
trigger1 = Time = 0
y = 0

[State 0, 3] ;Stop moving if low velocity or 4 ticks pass
type = VelSet
trigger1 = abs(vel x) < Const(movement.stand.friction.threshold)
trigger2 = Time = 4
x = 0

[State 0, 4] ;Are you dead?
type = ChangeState
trigger1 = !alive
value = 5050
ctrl = 0

I don't know how to respond directly here, but, thanks @thatguy, really appreciated

@satoshi works, or you can use the quote button on the other person's post
