You can customize your own char and adapt him to Peketo’s fatal move so he loses his head too

CUSTOMIZE YOUR CHAR FOR THE FATAL MOVES

OF THE BLACK HEART CHARS WITH:
"DECAPITATION" and "CUT IN HALF"

My characters have fatal moves that work better in your char if it’s properly customized. This customizations require your char to be able to lose its head and be cut in half. Below you have the tutorial to achieve this by following some simple steps but remember to backup your char before starting.

DECAPITATION

Decapitation is used by Peketo, Hashi, Shar-makai and Ananzi.

1 – SPECIAL GRAPHICS

The first thing is to create the sprites of your char for the customized decapitation.

-You must create these 8 new sprites for the separated head and add them in the SFF of your char with their specific numbers.

= 9123, 20

= 9123, 21

= 9123, 22

= 9123, 23

= 9123, 24

= 9123, 25

= 9123, 26

= 9123, 27

and then one the last one that represents the head once it stops moving:

= 9123, 28

for that one I cloned one of the sprites I used before for the spinning head, but you can create one different for it. The AXIS for these graphics goes just in the lower edge of the image.

Now, you must create these 5 sprites for the headless body. Try to respect the axis in these graphics.

= 9123, 10

= 9123, 11

= 9123, 12

= 9123 , 13

= 9123, 14

The first sprite must be the same frame you use for “5061, 0” but headless, and the AXIS must be placed in the same place that that same sprite. There you have a guide to place the other 4 sprites. Remember that these sprites use the palettes of your own char, so be carefull if your headless body or head have blood in it. You must have a separated color for the blood in all your palettes.

2 – ADD ANIMATIONS

Open the AIR file of your char, and add this code:

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;---------------------------------------------------------------
;Fatal custom DECAPITATION, Peketo, Ananzi, Hashi and Shar-makai

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 – ADD STATE

Open the CNS file of your char and add this code wherever you want.

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;-----------------
;fatal move Peketo
;-----------------
;decapitado - cabeza (helper)
[Statedef 912320]
type = A
movetype= I
physics = N
poweradd= 0
ctrl = 0
velset = -1+(random/500.0),ifelse(root,stateno=3011,-10,-5)
sprpriority = 7
anim = 912320

[State 210, Width]
type = veladd
trigger1 = 1
y = .3

[State 191, Snd 2]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 = pos Y >= -3 && vel y > 0
value = F7,0
freqmul = 1.3
volume = 100
persistent = 0

[State 220, 3]
type = velset
trigger1 = pos Y >= -3 && vel y > 0
y = -4.8
persistent = 0

[State 220, 3]
type = changeanim
trigger1 = pos Y >= 0 && vel y > 0 && anim != 912321
value = 912321

[State 0, VelSet]
type = VelSet
trigger1 = anim = 912321
x = 0
y = 0

[State 0, VelSet]
type = posSet
trigger1 = anim = 912321
y = 4

[State 191, Snd 2]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 = anim = 912321
value = F7,0
freqmul = 1.3
volume = 100
persistent = 0

CUT IN HALF

Cut in half is used by Animus, Hashi and Shar-makai.

1 – SPECIAL GRAPHICS

The first thing is to create the sprites of your char for the customized cut in half.

-You must create these 6 new sprites frames.

= 9124, 10
= 9124, 11
= 9124, 20
= 9124, 21

= 9125, 10
= 9125, 11

"9125, 10" is for this moment:

So the part of the char that should be inside Hashi's mouth doesn't come out from below Hashi's head.

2 – ADD ANIMATIONS

Open the AIR file of your char, and add this code:

;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;------------------------------------------------------
;Fatal custom CUT IN HALF, Animus, Shar-makai and Hashi
;------------------------------------------------------

;animus fatal custom up 1
[Begin Action 91240]
9124,10, 0,0, -1

;animus fatal custom up 2
[Begin Action 91241]
9124,11, 0,0, 1

;animus fatal custom down 1
[Begin Action 91242]
9124,20, 0,0, 1

;animus fatal custom down 2
[Begin Action 91243]
9124,21, 0,0, 1

;hashi fatal custom 1
[Begin Action 91250]
9125,10, 0,0, 100
9125,11, 0,0, 98

;hashi fatal custom 2
[Begin Action 91251]
9124,20, 0,-6, 3
9124,21, 0,-6, -1

That’s it! You did it. If you’re a good programmer and understand all this, you can also add some features, like the head falling further or something like that.
