Changing direction during freespecial

Hey guys, I think this might be my first time posting here. Years ago I was working on a Power Rangers mod and something tells me I came here for answers then. ANYWAY, I'm working on a TMNT mod now, based off GaBoTiCo's TMNT 8bit mod. THE QUESTION:

You know when a FREESPECIAL animation is playing, and you press the opposite direction on your pad or keyboard, and the characters turns to face the opposite direction mid-attack? It's so annoying. Is there a way to not allow that? So that openbor doesn't accept any new inputs until the animation is over?

I tried the IDLE command but it did nothing.

I accept suggestions. Thanks guys.

Sure. Thanks for replying. I have two freespecials and both are triggered during jump:

anim freespecial3

Oh you must have allowed flipping during jumping. By default, it's not allowed even for just jumpattacks.

Check Leo's header text and find jumpmove command. If the first parameter is set to 1, then you have allowed Leo to flip while jumping. Set it to 0 to disable it or just remove this command if you don't need it.

Read manual for more info jumpmove

Thanks for replying, Bloodbane.

Your suggestion would solve this issue BUT would affect Leo's jump movement. I'm trying to replicate his movements from TMNT 2 for the NES, and in that game you can jump freely (more so than what Openbor allows) until you press the attack button.

Thanks again, man. That prevents the animation from flipping but it affects the movement liberty of the jump.

I have a feeling I will have to venture once again into the world of scripts.

Thanks guys for the replies.

Thank guys for the suggestions. I'll check them out.

BeasTie you are correct that project is still a WIP. For the moment it's not a team up, his and mine are different projects.

Hey guys. Let's try this again.

I was looking at Bloodbane's script and there's something called "keyflip". I'm traying to figure out how to change it to fit my need. Basically keyflip makes the character change directions depending on if right or left is pressed. I need something like this except different. I need  the freespecial animation to ignore the left and right presses until the animation is over.

So part of the keyflip command says:
if (playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft")){ // Left is pressed?
      changeentityproperty(self, "direction", 0); //Face left
Click to expand...

I guess I need something like
if (playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft")){ // Left is pressed?
      changeentityproperty(self, "direction", 0); //DON'T YOU DARE TO DO ANYTHING, OPENBOR
Click to expand...

How can I do that? Arghhhh. What would be the command for "don't do anything"?

I can't find the info anywhere

Why don't you think the opposite? IOW don't set jumpmove at all and set keyflip ONLY in JUMP animations. This way, is Leo performs FREESPECIAL or JUMPATTACK, he can't flip since there's nothing which allows him.

I still think that keyscript would do the job better but if keyflip function works for you then why not? :)

Well, Openbor crashes when I add

animationscript data/scripts/script.c

to leo's txt. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm using a Mac. :/

Thanks for replying. Also, your Lock and Loaded module is very impressive.

Thanks!

Oh about that crash, if you set animationscript without declaring any @cmd, you'll get crash. So to solve this, either disable it temporarily or declare at least one @cmd somewhere

I have a jump slam that allows movement during the slam (in air and ground) ive copyed it from crimebusters maxima and adapted to this character

anim grabattack2
loop 0
delay 7

hitfx data/sounds/beat5.wav
@cmd keyint "ANI_GRABDOWN2" 0 "J" 0 0

(press jump makes the slam)
(attacking forward 3 times makes the grabattack 2)

unfortunately  you have to declare @cmd keywlk in all frames
for the entire animation to move

this is the script iam using (keywlk moves left and right)
void keywlk(float V)
{// Move hero if direction button is pressed
      void self = getlocalvar("self");
      int iPIndex = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex"); //Get player index
float xdir = 0;

      if (playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft")){// Left is pressed?
  xdir = -V;
} else if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveright")){// Right is pressed?
  xdir = V;
      }


changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", xdir);
}
Click to expand...

this is the original script (keymove moves up,down,left.right)

void keymove(float V)
{// Move hero if direction button is pressed
      void self = getlocalvar("self");
      int iPIndex = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex"); //Get player index
float xdir = 0;
float zdir = 0;

      if (playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveleft")){// Left is pressed?
  xdir = -V;
} else if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveright")){// Right is pressed?
  xdir = V;
      }

if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveup")){// Up is pressed?
  zdir = -V/2;
} else if(playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "movedown")){// Down is pressed?
  zdir = V/2;
      }

changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", xdir, zdir);
}

.......keyint is a big ass script...here goes the full page in the forum
void keyint(void Ani, int Frame, void Key, int Hflag, int Limit)
{// Change current animation if proper key is pressed or released provided HP is more than limit
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void Health = getentityproperty(self,"health");   
    int iPIndex = getentityproperty(self,"playerindex"); //Get player index
    void iRKey;

      if (Key=="U"){ //Up Required?
      iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveup"); // "Up"
}

      if (Key=="D"){ //Down Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "movedown"); // "Down"
}

      if (Key=="F"){ //Down Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "movefoward"); // "foward"
}



      if (Key=="J"){ //Jump Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "jump"); // "Jump"
}

      if (Key=="A"){ //Attack Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "attack"); // "Attack"
}

      if (Key=="S"){ //Special Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "special"); // "Special"
}

      if (Key=="A2"){ //Attack2 Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "attack2"); // "Attack2"
}


      if (Key=="FJ"){ //Up and Jump Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "movefoward", "jump"); // "Up" + "foward"
}



      if (Key=="UJ"){ //Up and Jump Required?
        iRKey = playerkeys(iPIndex, 0, "moveup", "jump"); // "Up" + "Jump"
}

      if (Hflag==1){ //Not holding the button case?
        iRKey = !iRKey; //Take the opposite condition
}

      if ((Health > Limit)&&iRKey){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant(Ani)); //Change the animation
        changeentityproperty(self, "animpos", Frame);

        if (Key=="UJ"){
          // This is copy of dethrown
          changeentityproperty(self, "attacking", 0);
          changeentityproperty(self, "damage_on_landing", 0);
          changeentityproperty(self, "projectile", 0);
        }
      }
