Some beginner coding ideas for fighting games

[SkylockVixen]

So I just wanted to summarize what Ive learned succinctly and also ask a few questions of my own to any pros reading this.

Triggering your code

Most people I think imagine pressing a or more than one buttons and directions to start their program.

I found the easiest way is

Code: Select all

if (get_val(XB1_LEFT) && event_press(XB1_A)) {
     combo_run(mycombo);}
}

That would be code for triggering a script by pushing left at some level then pushing A simultaneously.

Releasing a button still works for get_val
Whereas event_press is more finite. Its only triggered when pressing down on a button. I find that some inputs like directions for instance work better with get_val.

??

Now here's a question for the pros. How can I trigger a script with multiple combos??
I imagine it would be something like
if()
then()

But I dont know how to use the "then" command if it is.

I want to trigger a combo after I perform multiple steps in a combo chain on my controller.
