Megaman Style slide/dash code issue

[chronicleroflegends]

I am trying to make a megaman style slide/dash action script, and it almost works just right!

I am having trouble determining the player's facing direction however.

Here is what I have so far:

Code: Select all

;; MODIFIED FROM DEFAULT JUMP SCRIPT

;; Get player object
;; Check if in air, and skip if so.
LDX player1_object
LDA Object_status,x
AND #%00000100
BEQ +

;; Check facing direction
LDA Object_movement,x
AND #%00000111 ;only keep the last 3 bits
CMP #$00000110 ;facing right
BEQ slideRight
JMP slideLeft

slideRight:
;FACE_RIGHT		= #%00000010
LDA #$00
SEC
ADC #$03  
STA Object_h_speed_hi,x

slideLeft:
;FACE_LEFT		= #%00000110
;; Store 250 in accumulator and assign it to object's speed
LDA #$00
SEC
SBC #$03  
STA Object_h_speed_hi,x

ChangeObjectState #$07, #$02 ;Set the object's animation state (my dash action is 7)
;PlaySound #SFX_PLAYER_JUMP
+
RTS

This code will dash, but it will only go left. My check for player's facing direction doesn't seem to work.
Also, if this code helps you in any way feel free to use it!

A small corrected script:

Code: Select all

;; MODIFIED FROM DEFAULT JUMP SCRIPT

;; Get player object
;; Check if in air, and skip if so.
	LDX player1_object
	LDA Object_status,x
	AND #%00000100
	BEQ +

	;; Check facing direction
	LDA Object_movement,x
	AND #%00000111 ;only keep the last 3 bits
	CMP #%00000010 ;FACE_RIGHT		= #%00000010
	BEQ slideRight
	JMP slideLeft

slideRight:
	;FACE_RIGHT		= #%00000010
	LDA #$00
	ADC #$06
	STA Object_h_speed_hi,x
	JMP continueSliding

slideLeft:
	;FACE_LEFT		= #%00000110
	;; Store 250 in accumulator and assign it to object's speed
	LDA #$00
	SBC #$06
	STA Object_h_speed_hi,x

continueSliding:
	ChangeObjectState #$07, #$02 ;Set the object's animation state (my dash action is 7)
	;PlaySound #SFX_PLAYER_JUMP
+
	RTS

Thank you! That got it working perfectly.

I see the two typos I had now.

I used the corrected code, mine only dashes left, too. I've assigned it to press "Down" on the d-pad. Should I put this code elsewhere?

You can’t assign it to “down” because the script will not know which direction your player want to go.
You need to assign it to “left” and to “right”.
And in your case it you want the player to dash only if press “down” at the same time, you might modify the script to check the gamepad, maybe something like that:

Code: Select all

;; MODIFIED FROM DEFAULT JUMP SCRIPT

;; Get player object
;; Check if in air, and skip if so.
	LDX player1_object
	LDA Object_status,x
	AND #%00000100
	BEQ +
	
	LDA gamepad
	CMP #%00100000  ;;check if “down” is press too
	BNE +

	;; Check facing direction
	LDA Object_movement,x
	AND #%00000111 ;only keep the last 3 bits
	CMP #%00000010 ;FACE_RIGHT		= #%00000010
	BEQ slideRight
	JMP slideLeft

slideRight:
	;FACE_RIGHT		= #%00000010
	LDA #$00
	ADC #$06
	STA Object_h_speed_hi,x
	JMP continueSliding

slideLeft:
	;FACE_LEFT		= #%00000110
	;; Store 250 in accumulator and assign it to object's speed
	LDA #$00
	SBC #$06
	STA Object_h_speed_hi,x

continueSliding:
	ChangeObjectState #$07, #$02 ;Set the object's animation state (my dash action is 7)
	;PlaySound #SFX_PLAYER_JUMP
+
	RTS

I see. That makes sense. I'm slowly, but surely starting to get acclimated to ASM. Thanks

[dale_coop]

Ah ah don’t worry, we all are learning here

So then you would make 2 new scripts dash.asm and stopdash.asm? And then place this in the input scripts and the assign them to the left dash right dash? But what if you want the dash to happen when you press A button and left or right? Where do you change the code for that to happen

Cheers
