Documentation for version 1.1 (2013)

Updated 09 June 2013

About Triggers[edit]

This is an alphabetical index of function-type triggers. For details on use of function-type triggers in expressions, see the expression documentation. Unless otherwise specified, we will use P1 to represent the player who is evaluating the trigger, and P2 to represent his opponent (usually the closest opponent when in team mode).

Some triggers are nonstandard and cannot take expressions as their arguments. These are marked with a (*) in the index. Some triggers are deprecated; these are marked with a (**). Use of these triggers is not encouraged, as support for them may be removed in future versions of the engine.

Old-style triggers, marked (***), appear only in clauses of the form (trigger) (relational operator) (value). See section 8 of exp.doc for more details.

Triggers used for math are marked with (math).

For all triggers, bottom will be returned if the trigger is redirected to a nonexistent destination, or if the ID number for the redirection evaluates to bottom. This is not listed in the error conditions for each trigger.

Abs (math)[edit]

Computes the absolute value of its argument.

Format
abs(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the absolute value of.
Return type
Same as the type of exprn.
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom.


Acos (math)[edit]

Computes the arccosine (in radians) of the specified argument.

Format
acos(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the arccosine of (float).
Return type
float
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom, or if exprn is not in the domain of arccosine (which is [-1.0,1.0]).

Example:

value = acos(1)
  Sets value to the arccosine of 1, which is approximately 0.0
  (possibly with some rounding error.)

AILevel[edit]

Returns the difficulty level of the player's AI.

Format
AILevel
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none
Details
If AI is enabled on the player, the value ranges from 1 (easiest) to 8 (most difficult). If AI is not enabled on the player, the return value is 0.

Example:

trigger1 = Random < AILevel * 10
  Triggers with 10% probability at AILevel 1, 20% at AILevel 2,
  etc.

Alive[edit]

Returns 1 if the player is still able to fight, 0 if the player has been KOed.

Format
alive
Arguments
none
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = Alive = 0
  Triggers if the player has been KOed.

Anim[edit]

Returns the current animation action number of the player.

Format
Anim
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = Anim = 200
  Triggers if the player is currently in action 200.

AnimElem(*,***)[edit]

Gets the animation-time elapsed since the start of a specified element of the current animation action. Useful for synchronizing events to elements of an animation action. (reminder: first element of an action is element 1, not 0)

AnimElemTime has similar functionality to AnimElem, but can take expressions as its argument.

Format:
  1. AnimElem = value1
  2. AnimElem = value1, [oper] value2
Arguments:
[oper]
=, !=, <, >, <=, >=
value1 (int)
Element number to check.
value2 (int)
Value of animation-time to compare with.
Return type:
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions:
Returns bottom if the specified element number is invalid for this action (e.g., it's too large or too small).
Details:

Trigger in Format 1 is true if the player's animation is at the start of the element number specified by value1. In other words, if value1 is equal to n, it is true on the first game-tick of the nth element of the animation.

Trigger in Format 2 compares the player's animation-time to t+value2, where t is time of the start of the element number specified by value1.

Notes:
AnimElem will not trigger on the first game-tick of the second or later loop of an animation with a finite looptime. For example, "AnimElem = 1" will trigger the first tick a player changes to an animation, but will not trigger on the tick that it loops. You may get it to trigger each time using "AnimElem = 1 || AnimTime = 0".

Examples:

trigger1 = AnimElem = 2
  True on the first game-tick that the player's animation
  is on element 2. Is equivalent to saying:
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 2, = 0

trigger1 = AnimElem = 2, = 4
  True 4 game-ticks after the start of the player's
  second animation element.

trigger1 = AnimElem = 2, >= 0
trigger1 = AnimElem = 3, < 0
  True for the whole of the second element of the player's
  animation, assuming there is a third element. If a
  third element does not exist, the second line should
  read,

    trigger1 = AnimTime <= 0

AnimElemNo[edit]

Returns the number of the animation element in the current action that would be displayed at the specified time. The argument to AnimElemNo represents the time to check, expressed in game ticks, relative to the present.

Format
AnimElemNo(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression that evaluates to the time offset (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if you try to check a time that would fall before the start of the current action.
Notes
If the action is currently within its looping portion, then it is assumed to have been looping forever. That is, no matter how far into the past you check, AnimElemNo will always return an element number that lies within the looping portion of the action.

Examples:

trigger1 = AnimElemNo(0) = 2
  True when the animation element to be displayed 0 ticks in the
  future (i.e., now) is element 2. This is equivalent to:
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 2, >= 0
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 3, < 0

trigger1 = AnimElemNo(2) = 4
  True when the animation element that will be displayed two ticks
  from now is element 4. This is equivalent to:
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 4, >= -2
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 5, < -2

AnimElemTime[edit]

Gets the animation-time elapsed since the start of a specified element of the current animation action. Useful for synchronizing events to elements of an animation action. (reminder: first element of an action is element 1, not 0)

Format
AnimElemTime(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression that evaluates to the element number to check (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom, or if exprn evaluates to an element number that is not valid for the current action.
Notes
AnimElemTime will not trigger on the first game-tick of the second or later loop of an animation with a finite looptime. For example, "AnimElemTime(1) = 0" will trigger the first tick a player changes to an animation, but will not trigger on the tick that it loops. You may get it to trigger each time using "AnimElemTime(1) = 0 || AnimTime = 0".

Examples:

trigger1 = AnimElemTime(2) = 0
  True on the first game-tick that the player's animation
  is on element 2. Is equivalent to saying:
    trigger1 = AnimElem = 2

trigger1 = AnimElemTime(2) = 4
  True 4 game-ticks after the start of the player's
  second animation element.

trigger1 = AnimElemTime(2) >= 0
trigger1 = AnimElemTime(3) < 0
  True for the whole of the second element of the player's
  animation, assuming there is a third element. If a
  third element does not exist, the second line will evaluate
  to bottom and hence trigger1 will never trigger. In this case,
  the second line should read,
    trigger1 = AnimTime <= 0

AnimExist[edit]

Returns 1 if the specified animation action exists for the player. The result of this trigger is undefined if the player has been placed in a custom state by a successful hit. In this situation, use SelfAnimExist.

Format
AnimExist(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
An expression evaluating to an animation number (int).
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom.

Example:

trigger1 = !AnimExist(200)
  Triggers if the player is missing action 200.

AnimTime[edit]

Gives the difference between the looptime of the current animation action and the player's animation-time. Useful for knowing when the end of the animation has been reached. (Animation-time is the time in game-ticks that the player has spent within the current animation action.) The name may be confusing. Try to think of it as "time from the end of the animation". During the animation, AnimTime will always return a non-positive number.

Format
AnimTime
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = AnimTime = 0
  Triggers when the animation-time is equal to the animation
  action's looptime, ie. the end of the action has been
  reached.

Asin (math)[edit]

Computes the arcsine (in radians) of the specified argument.

Format
asin(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the arcsine of (float).
Return type

Example:

value = asin(1)
  Sets value to the arcsine of 1, which is approximately pi/2
  (possibly with some rounding error.)

Atan (math)[edit]

Computes the arctangent (in radians) of the specified argument.

Format
atan(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the arctangent of (float).
Return type
float
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom.

Example:

value = atan(1)
  Sets value to the arccosine of 1, which is approximately pi/4
  (possibly with some rounding error.)

AuthorName(*,***)[edit]

Returns the player's author's name (specified in the .DEF file). This may also be useful for telling apart characters with the same name but different authors.

Format

Arguments
;; [oper]
=, != (other operators not valid)
"name" (string)
Name to compare against. Must be in double quotes.

BackEdge returns the x position of the edge of the screen that is behind the player, in absolute stage coordinates.

Format
BackEdge
Arguments
none
Return type
float
Error conditions
none
Notes
This trigger is equivalent to the expression "ifelse(facing = 1, LeftEdge, RightEdge)".

Example:

trigger1 = Pos X + CameraPos X < BackEdge
  Triggers if the player is to the left of the back edge of the screen.

BackEdgeBodyDist[edit]

BackEdgeBodyDist gives the distance from the back of the player, as determined by the end of his width bar, to the back edge of the screen.

Format
BackEdgeBodyDist
Arguments
none
Return type
float
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = BackEdgeBodyDist < 30
  Triggers if the back of the player’s width bar is within 30 pixels
  of the edge of the screen in back of him.

BackEdgeDist[edit]

BackEdgeDist gives the distance between the x-axis of the player and the edge of the screen behind of the player.

Format
BackEdgeDist
Arguments
none
Return type
float
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = BackEdgeDist < 30
  Triggers if the x-axis of the player is within 30 pixels
  of the edge of the screen in back of him.

BottomEdge[edit]

BottomEdge returns the y position of the bottom edge of the screen, in absolute stage coordinates.

Format
BottomEdge
Arguments
none
Return type
float
Error conditions
none
Notes
This trigger is equivalent to the expression "Pos Y - ScreenPos Y + GameHeight".

Example:

trigger1 = Pos Y < BottomEdge
  Triggers if the player is above the bottom edge of the screen.

CameraPos[edit]

Gets the value of the camera's position relative to the stage.

The home position of the camera is 0, 0. The value of "CameraPos X" increases as the camera moves to the right. The value of "CameraPos Y" decreases as the camera moves upwards.

The units of the position returned is in the coordspace of the player.

Example:

trigger1 = CameraPos X >= 0
  True when the camera is to the left of the center of the stage.

CameraZoom[edit]

Gets the value of the camera's zoom factor.

  of the screen.  The expression "CameraZoom * ScreenWidth" is
  equivalent to the GameWidth trigger.

CanRecover[edit]

Format
CanRecover
Arguments
none
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
none


Ceil (math)[edit]

Format
ceil(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the ceil of.
Return type

  Sets value to 6.
2. value = ceil(-2)
  Sets value to -2.

Command (*,***)[edit]

Triggers if the user has input the specified command.

Format
Command [oper] "command_name"
Arguments
;; [oper]
=, != (other operators not valid)
"command_name" (string)
Name of the command. Commands are defined in the player's CMD file, and are case-sensitive. If the CMD has multiple commands with the same name, then any one of those commands will work. Command names must appear within double quotes.
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = Command = "fireball motion"
  True if the user inputs the command corresponding to the
  command name "fireball motion".

Cond (math)[edit]

This trigger takes three arguments. The first argument is a condition argument. If the condition is true (i.e., nonzero), Cond evaluates and returns the second argument. If the condition is false, Cond evaluates and returns the third argument. If the condition is bottom, then Cond returns bottom without evaluating the second or third arguments.

In all cases, any unused argument(s) are not evaluated. Therefore, Cond can be used instead of IfElse to avoid any side effects that would be caused by evaluating the unused argument (e.g., variable assignment, or performing a computation that would cause bottom to be generated).

Format
Cond(exp_cond,exp_true,exp_false)
Arguments
;; exp_cond
Expression to test.
exp_true
Expression specifying value to return if exp_cond is nonzero.
exp_false
Expression specifying value to return if exp_cond is zero.
Return type
Type of exp_true or exp_false, whichever is returned.
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exp_cond evaluates to bottom, or if exp_true or exp_false (whichever is actually used) evaluates to bottom.

Example:

value = Cond(var(3),1,2)
  Sets value to 1 if var(3) is not zero, and sets value to 2 if
  var(3) is 0.

Const (*)[edit]

Returns the value of one of the player's constants.

FVar[edit]

This trigger takes a mandatory variable number as an argument. It returns the value of the player's specified float variable.

Format
FVar(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
An expression evaluating to a variable number. Valid numbers at this time are 0-39.
Return type

GameHeight[edit]

Returns the current height of the game space in the player's local coordinate space. The game space is defined as the currently-visible area of the stage in which players interact. The dimensions of the game space at a zoom factor of 1.0 is specified by the GameWidth and GameHeight parameters in mugen.cfg.

Format:
GameHeight
Arguments:
none
Return type:
float
Error conditions:
none
Notes:

GameWidth and GameHeight scale inversely with the zoom factor of the camera. For example, if the camera zoom factor is 0.5, the values returned by GameWidth and GameHeight will be double that of at zoom factor 1.

ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight are the equivalent triggers that are not affected by the camera zoom factor.

Example:

trigger1 = ScreenPos Y < GameHeight / 2
  Triggers if the player is above the center of the screen.

GameTime[edit]

GameWidth[edit]

Returns the current width of the game space in the player's local coordinate space. The game space is defined as the currently-visible area of the stage in which players interact. The dimensions of the game space at a zoom factor of 1.0 is specified by the GameWidth and GameHeight parameters in mugen.cfg.

Format:
GameHeight
Arguments:
none
Return type:
float
Error conditions:
none
Notes:

GameWidth and GameHeight scale inversely with the zoom factor of the camera. For example, if the camera zoom factor is 0.5, the values returned by GameWidth and GameHeight will be double that of at zoom factor 1.

ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight are the equivalent triggers that are not affected by the camera zoom factor.

Example:

trigger1 = ScreenPos X >= GameWidth / 2
  Triggers if the player is to the right of the center of the screen.

Example:

trigger1 = GetHitVar(yvel) < -5.5
  Triggers if the hit's specified y velocity is less than -5.5.

HitCount[edit]

Returns the number times the player's current attack move has hit one or more opponents. This value is valid only for a single state; after any state change, it resets to 0. To prevent it from resetting to 0, set hitcountpersist in the StateDef (see cns documentation for details). The HitCount and UniqHitCount triggers differ only when the player is hitting more than one opponent. In the case where the player is hitting two opponents with the same attack, HitCount will increase by 1 for every hit, while UniqHitCount increases by 2.

Format
HitCount
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = HitCount > 8
  Triggers when more than 8 hits have been dealt to the
  opponent since the start of the player's attack move.

HitDefAttr(*,***)[edit]

Checks the attribute parameter of the player's currently-active HitDef. If the player is not currently attacking, then no parameters will match. Can be used for simple move-interrupts from weaker to stronger attacks in the CMD file.

Note: HitDefAttr != value1, value2 is logically equivalent to !(HitDefAttr = value1, value2).

Format:
HitDefAttr [oper] value1, value2
Arguments:
[oper]
=, !=
value1
A string that has at least one of the letters "S", "C" and "A" for standing, crouching and aerial attacks respectively. For example, "SA" is for standing and aerial attacks.
value2

A set of 2-character strings, separated by commas. Each 2-character string must be of the form described: The first character is either "N" for "normal", "S" for "special", or "H" for "hyper". The second character must be either "A" for "attack" (a normal hit attack) or "T" for "throw". For example, "NA, ST" is for normal attacks and special throws.

Assuming the attribute of the player's HitDef is in the form:

arg1, arg2

then the trigger condition is determined to be true only if arg1 is a subset of value1, AND arg2 is a subset of value2.

See the "attr" parameter of the HitDef controller in Appendix B for details.

Return type:
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions:
none

Example:

trigger1 = HitDefAttr = A, HA
  Triggers when the player is in an attack state, where
  the current HitDef has the following attributes:
      1. is an aerial attack
  and 2. is a hyper (super) attack

trigger1 = HitDefAttr = SC, NA, SA
  Triggers when the player is in an attack state, where
  the current HitDef has the following attributes:
      1. is either a standing or a crouching attack
  and 2. is either a normal attack or a special attack

HitFall[edit]

If the player is currently in a gethit state, returns the fall flag of the hit. The output of this trigger is undefined if the player is not in a gethit state. For an explanation of the fall flag, see the HitDef documentation.

Format

Example:

trigger1 = HitOver = 1
  Triggers when the player’s hittime has expired.

HitPauseTime[edit]

Returns the time until the player's hitpause expires. The player enters a hitpause when his attack comes in contact with an opponent. The initial hitpause time is equal to the first value of the pausetime parameter in the player's HitDef. If ignorehitpause is not set, this will always return 0.

Format
HitPauseTime
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = HitPauseTime = 0
  Triggers when the player is not paused for a hit.

HitShakeOver[edit]

Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = HitShakeOver = 0
  Triggers if the player is still shaking from the hit.

Format
HitVel [component]
Arguments
;; [component]
X, Y
Return type
float
Error conditions
none
Details
A positive HitVel Y means that the player is moving upward on the screen. A positive HitVel X means that the player is moving backward. Note that the HitVel X trigger behaves in the opposite manner to the Vel X trigger.

Example:

trigger1 = HitVel X > 0.5
  True when the player's gethit x-velocity is greater than 0.5
  pixels per tick.

ID[edit]

Returns the ID number of the player. The ID number is unique for every player throughout the course of a match. Any helper that is created during this time will also receive its own unique ID number. This trigger may be useful for getting opponents' ID numbers, to be later used with the "playerID" redirection keyword (see exp docs). Do not confuse playerID with targetID.

Format
ID
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

value = ID
  This sets value to the ID number of the current player.
value = EnemyNear, ID
  This sets value to the ID number of the nearest opponent.

IfElse (math)[edit]

This trigger takes three arguments. If the first is nonzero, IfElse returns the value of the second argument. Else, it returns the value of the third argument. All arguments are evaluated prior to execution of IfElse. In particular, any side effects caused by evaluation of the arguments (such as variable assignment, or performing a computation that generates a warning) will occur. If you wish to avoid these side effects, then use Cond.

Format
IfElse(exp_cond,exp_true,exp_false)
Arguments
;; exp_cond
Expression to test.
exp_true
Expression specifying value to return if exp_cond is nonzero.
exp_false
Expression specifying value to return if exp_cond is zero.

  Sets value to 1 if var(3) is not zero, and sets value to 2 if
  var(3) is 0.

InGuardDist[edit]

Returns 1 if the player is within guarding distance of an opponent's physical or projectile attack. The guarding distance is the value of the guard.dist parameter of the opponent's HitDef. Returns 0 if out of guard distance, or the opponent is not attacking.

Format
InGuardDist
Arguments
none
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
none
Example

IsHelper[edit]

This trigger takes an optional ID number as an argument. If the ID number is omitted, IsHelper returns 1 if the player is a helper character, and 0 otherwise. If the ID number is included, then IsHelper returns 1 if the player is a helper character with the specified ID number, and 0 otherwise.

Format
;# IsHelper
  1. IsHelper(exprn)
Arguments
none
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions

Format
LifeMax
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = life < lifemax / 4
  Triggers if the player has less than 1/4 of his maximum life.

Ln (math)[edit]

Returns the natural logarithm of its argument. This produces slightly more accurate results than the otherwise equivalent expression log(e,(argument)).

Format
ln(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression to compute the natural logarithm of (float).
Return type
float
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom, or if exprn is not positive.

Error conditions
none

Examples:

1. trigger1 = Lose
  Triggers if the player (or his team) has lost the round.

2. trigger1 = !LoseKO

  a KO. For example, this will trigger if the player's team has
  not yet lost the round, or if they have lost the round by time
  over.

MatchNo[edit]

Returns the current match number.

Format
MatchNo
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Details
The current match number is always 1 in versus-type modes. In Arcade and Team Arcade modes, the match number starts at 1 and increments every time a new match starts (does not increment on continue). If you finish the arcade mode and start a new game, the match number reverts to 1.
Example
none


MatchOver[edit]

Returns 1 if the match has ended. (For example, in the case of a best-of-three match, this will return true when one of the players or teams has won two rounds.)

Format
MatchOver
Arguments
none
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
none
Details
Currently, MatchOver does not return true until the players start their win poses (state 180). This behavior may be subject to change in future releases.

Example:

trigger1 = !matchover
  Triggers if the match is not over. For instance, the current round
  may not yet have ended, or it may have ended without deciding the
  match.

MoveContact[edit]

This trigger is valid only when the player is in an attack state. MoveContact gives a non-zero value if P2 has either been hit, or has guarded P1's attack. It gives 0 otherwise. P1 is the player, and P2 is his opponent. Typically used with the "StateNo" and "Command" triggers for detecting move-interrupts in the CMD file.

Format:
MoveContact
Arguments:
none
Return type:
int
Error conditions:
none
Details:

On attack contact, MoveContact returns 1. After contact, MoveContact's return value will increase by 1 for each game tick that P1 is not paused (P1 gets paused on contact; see pausetime parameter in HitDef controller). The values of MoveGuarded, MoveHit and MoveReversed increment in the same fashion.

Note 1: the values of MoveContact, MoveGuarded, MoveHit and MoveReversed are set simultaneously. For example, if one HitDef in a move hits successfully, MoveHit will return non-zero. If a following HitDef in the same move is guarded, MoveGuarded will return non-zero, and the other three triggers will return 0.

Note 2: the values of the four Move* triggers reset to 0 and stop incrementing after a state transition. See "movehitpersist" parameter for StateDefs (CNS docs) for how to override this behavior.

Examples:

trigger1 = MoveContact
  True if P1's attack did not miss P2.

trigger1 = MoveContact = 1
  True from the time P1's attack came in contact with P2, until just after P1's pausetime wears off.

MoveGuarded[edit]

This trigger is valid only when the player is in an attack state. MoveGuarded gives a non-zero value if P2 is guarding, or has guarded, P1's attack. It gives 0 otherwise. P1 is the player, and P2 is his opponent. Typically used with the "StateNo" and "Command" triggers for detecting move-interrupts in the CMD file.

Format
MoveGuarded
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none
Details
See Details section for MoveContact trigger.

Example:

trigger1 = MoveGuarded
  True if P1's attack was guarded by P2.

MoveHit[edit]

This trigger is valid only when the player is in an attack state. MoveHit gives a non-zero value if P2 has been hit by P1's attack. It gives 0 otherwise. Typically used with the "StateNo" and "Command" triggers for detecting move-interrupts in the CMD file.

Format
MoveHit
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none
Details
See Details section for MoveContact trigger.

Example:

trigger1 = MoveHit
  True if P1's attack connected successfully with P2.

P2BodyDist[edit]

Returns the distance of P2 from P1, where P1 is the player, and P2 is his opponent. P2BodyDist is useful in the CMD for cases where P1 has an attack that is different when performed close to P2.

Format:

Return type:
float
Error conditions:
none
Details:

For comparing the Y-distance, P2BodyDist gives the difference in the heights of the players' Y-axes. A negative value means that P2 is above P1.

For comparing the X-distance, P2BodyDist gives the X-distance of P2's front from P1's front. So, if the players are standing right next to each other, then P2BodyDist is 0. Remember that you can set the width of the player in "front.width", etc. under [Size] in the player variables.

See also P2Dist.

[component]
X, Y
Return type:
float
Error conditions:
none
Details:

For comparing the Y-distance, P2Dist gives the difference in the heights of the players' Y-axes. A negative value means that P2 is above P1.

For comparing the X-distance, P2Dist gives the X-distance of P2's axis from P1's axis. A positive value indicates P2 is in front of P1. See also P2BodyDist.

Example:

trigger1 = P2Dist Y <= -12
  True if P2 is at least 12 pixels higher up than P1.

P2Life[edit]

Same as Life, except that this returns the opponent's life.


P2MoveType[edit]

Same as MoveType, except that this returns the opponent's movetype.


P2Name(*,***)[edit]

Same as P1Name, except that this returns the name of the primary opponent (the opponent in versus mode, or the first opponent in team mode).

If there is no primary opponent, then p2name = "name" returns 0 no matter what name is specified. Similarly, p2name != "name" will return 1 no matter what name is specified.


P2StateNo[edit]

Same as StateNo, except that this returns the opponent's state number.

Error conditions
Returns bottom if p2 does not exist. (For instance, if the round has been won.)


P2StateType[edit]

Same as StateType, except that this returns the opponent's state type.

Error conditions
Returns bottom if p2 does not exist. (For instance, if the round has been won.)


P3Name(*,***)[edit]

Same as P1Name, except that this returns the name of the player's teammate, if present.

If there is no teammate, then p3name = "name" returns 0 no matter what name is specified. Similarly, p3name != "name" will return 1 no matter what name is specified.


P4Name(*,***)[edit]

Same as P1Name, except that this returns the name of the secondary opponent, if present.

If there is no secondary opponent, then p4name = "name" returns 0 no matter what name is specified. Similarly, p4name != "name" will return 1 no matter what name is specified.


PalNo[edit]

Returns the palette number of the player (i.e., the color scheme chosen for the character during character select.)

Format:
PalNo
Arguments:
none
Return type:
int
Error conditions:
none
Details:

The palette ordering is specified in the character's def file.

If omitted, the default ordering is:

A  B  C  X  Y  Z A2 B2 C2 X2 Y2 Z2

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12

Example:

trigger1 = PalNo = 5
  Returns true if the current palette number is 5.

ParentDist[edit]

This trigger is only valid for helper-type characters. ParentDist returns the distance from the helper to its parent. It works similarly to P2Dist.

Format
ParentDist [component]
Arguments
;; [component]
X, Y
Return type
float
Error conditions
Returns bottom if the player does not have a parent (e.g., if the parent was destroyed or KO'd).
Details
For comparing the Y-distance, ParentDist gives the difference in the heights of the players' Y-axes. A negative value means that the parent is above its child. For comparing the X-distance, ParentDist gives the X-distance of the parent's axis from the child's axis. A positive value indicates the parent is in front of the child.

Example:

trigger1 = ParentDist X != 0
  Triggers if the parent is not at the exact same x-position as the
  helper character.

Pi (math)[edit]

This trigger returns the numeric value of pi (3.141593...)

Format
pi
Arguments
none
Return type
float
Error conditions
none


Pos[edit]

Gets the value of the player's position. You must specify the component that you want to check, eg. "Pos Y" to check the Y-position.

Format:
Pos [component]
Arguments:
[component]
X, Y
Return type:
float
Error conditions:
none
Details:

For "Pos X", the value is relative to the center of the screen (value 0). Negative is left, positive is right.

Due to historical reasons, "Pos X" does not return absolute position of the player (i.e. relative to the center of the stage), which may be the more intuitive behavior. To get the absolute position of the player, use "Pos X + CameraPos X".

For "Pos Y", the value is relative to the floor. Negative is higher up, positive is below the floor.

Example:

trigger1 = Pos Y >= 0
  True when the player is below the floor.

Power[edit]

Returns the amount of power the player has.

Format
Power
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = power >= 1000
  True if player has at least 1000 power (level 1).

PowerMax[edit]

Returns the maximum amount of power the player can have. This is normally 3000 (level 3).

Format
PowerMax
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = power < powermax / 2
  True if player has less than half his maximum power.

PlayerIDExist[edit]

Returns 1 if a player with the specified ID number exists, 0 otherwise. This ID number is obtained using the "ID" trigger (see ID). Do not confuse PlayerID with TargetID.

Format
PlayerIDExist(ID_number)
Arguments
;; ID_number
An expression that evaluates to the ID number to check for (int)
Return type
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom.

Example:

trigger1 = PlayerIDExist(var(4))
  Triggers if a player with an ID number equal to the value of
  var(4) exists.

PrevStateNo[edit]

Returns the number of the state that the player was last in. The results of this trigger are not guaranteed to be accurate.

Format
StateNo
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = PrevStateNo = [200,650]
  Returns true if the player's last state number is between 200 and 650,
  inclusive.

ProjCancelTime[edit]

This trigger takes an required nonnegative ID number as an argument. If the player's last projectile to make any kind of contact was cancelled by an opponent's projectile and had the specified ID number, then ProjCancelTime returns the number of ticks since that contact occurred. If the specified ID number is 0, then the projectile ID is not checked. If no projectile meets all the above conditions, then ProjCancelTime returns -1.

Format
ProjCancelTime(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression evaluating to a nonnegative ID number (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom. If a negative ID is specified, then the ID defaults to zero.

Examples:

1. trigger1 = ProjCancelTime(1234) = 1
  Triggers if a projectile with ID 1234 was just cancelled by an
  opponent's projectile.
2. trigger1 = ProjCancelTime(0) != -1 && ProjCancelTime(0) < 15
  Triggers if any of the player's projectiles were cancelled
  within last 15 ticks.

ProjContact(*,***)[edit]

This trigger takes an optional ID number as a suffix. If the ID number is omitted, ProjContact returns true if any of the player's projectiles either successfully hit the opponent or were guarded by the opponent. When the ID number is specified, ProjContact returns true only if any of the player's projectiles with the specified ID number either successfully hit the opponent or was guarded.

Format:
  1. ProjContact[ID] = value
  2. ProjContact[ID] = value, [oper] value2
Arguments:
[ID]
Optional ID number.
value (boolean)
Value to compare against. 0 for false, 1 for true.
[oper]
=, !=, <, >, <=, >=
value2
Time value to compare against.
Return type:
boolean int
Error conditions:
none
Details:

ProjContact will trigger once for each hit of the projectile, so a multi-hit projectile can trigger multiple times.

The first form of ProjContact shown above is only valid for one tick after contact, unlike MoveContact.

For the second form, ProjContact returns true if the projectile made contact n ticks ago, where n is a nonnegative number satisfying the relation "n [oper] value2".

Specifying an ID number of 0 gives the same behavior as if the ID number is omitted (check all projectiles).

Examples:

1. trigger1 = ProjContact1234 = 1
  Triggers if a projectile with ID 1234 just made contact with the
  opponent.
2. trigger1 = ProjContact456 = 0, < 15
  Triggers if no projectile with ID 456 made contact in the last 15
  ticks.

ProjContactTime[edit]

This trigger takes an required nonnegative ID number as an argument. If the player's last projectile to make any kind of contact, made contact with the opponent and had the specified ID number, then ProjContactTime returns the number of ticks since that contact occurred. If the specified ID number is 0, then the projectile ID is not checked. If no projectile meets all the above conditions, then ProjContactTime returns -1.

Format
ProjContactTime(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression evaluating to a nonnegative ID number (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom. If a negative ID is specified, then the ID defaults to zero.

Examples:

1. trigger1 = ProjContactTime(1234) = 1
  Triggers if a projectile with ID 1234 just made contact with
  the opponent.
2. trigger1 = ProjContactTime(0) != -1 && ProjContactTime(0) < 15
  Triggers if any of the player's projectiles made successful
  contact with the opponent within the last 15 ticks.

ProjGuarded(*,***)[edit]

This trigger takes an optional ID number as a suffix. If the ID number is omitted, ProjGuarded returns true if any of the player's projectiles were guarded by the opponent. When the ID number is specified, ProjGuarded returns true only if one of the player's projectiles with the specified ID number was guarded by the opponent.

Format:
  1. ProjGuarded[ID] = value
  2. ProjGuarded[ID] = value, [oper] value2
Arguments:
[ID]
Optional ID number.
value (boolean)
Value to compare against. 0 for false, 1 for true.
[oper]
=, !=, <, >, <=, >=
value2
Time value to compare against.
Return type:
boolean int (1 or 0)
Error conditions:
none
Details:

ProjGuarded will trigger once for each hit of the projectile, so a multi-hit projectile can trigger multiple times.

The first form of ProjGuarded shown above is only valid for one tick after hit, unlike MoveGuarded.

For the second form, ProjGuarded returns true if the projectile was guarded n ticks ago, where n is a nonnegative number satisfying the relation "n [oper] value2".

Specifying an ID number of 0 gives the same behavior as if the ID number is omitted (check all projectiles).

Examples:

1. trigger1 = ProjGuarded1234 = 1
  Triggers if the opponent just blocked a projectile with ID 1234.
2. trigger1 = ProjGuarded = 1, < 15
  Triggers if the opponent blocked any projectile in the last 15
  ticks.

ProjGuardedTime[edit]

This trigger takes an required nonnegative ID number as an argument. If the player's last projectile to make any kind of contact was guarded by the opponent and had the specified ID number, then ProjGuardedTime returns the number of ticks since that contact occurred. If the specified ID number is 0, then the projectile ID is not checked. If no projectile meets all the above conditions, then ProjGuardedTime returns -1.

Format
ProjCancelTime(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression evaluating to a nonnegative ID number (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom. If a negative ID is specified, then the ID defaults to zero.

Examples:

  opponent.
2. trigger1 = ProjGuardedTime(0) != -1 && ProjGuardedTime(0) < 15
  Triggers if any of the player's projectiles was guarded by the
  opponent within the last 15 ticks.

ProjHit(*,***)[edit]

This trigger takes an optional positive ID number as a suffix. If the ID number is omitted, ProjHit returns true if any of the player's projectiles successfully hit the opponent. When the ID number is specified, ProjHit returns true only if one of the player's projectiles with the specified ID number successfully hit the opponent.

ProjHit will trigger once for each hit of the projectile, so a multi-hit projectile can trigger multiple times.

The first form of ProjHit shown above is only valid for one tick after hit, unlike MoveHit.

For the second form, ProjHit returns true if the projectile hit n ticks ago, where n is a nonnegative number satisfying the relation "n [oper] value2".

Specifying an ID number of 0 gives the same behavior as if the ID number is omitted (check all projectiles).

Examples:

1. trigger1 = ProjHit1234 = 1
  Triggers if a projectile with ID 1234 just made successful
  contact with the opponent.
2. trigger1 = ProjHit1234 = 1, < 15
  Triggers if any of the player's projectiles made successful
  contact with the opponent within the last 15 ticks.

ProjHitTime[edit]

This trigger takes an required nonnegative ID number as an argument. If the player's last projectile to make any kind of contact successfully hit the opponent and had the specified ID number, then ProjHit returns the number of ticks since that contact occurred. If the specified ID number is 0, then the projectile ID is not checked. If no projectile meets all the above conditions, then ProjHitTime returns -1.

Format
ProjHitTime(exprn)
Arguments
;; exprn
Expression evaluating to a nonnegative ID number (int).
Return type
int
Error conditions
Returns bottom if exprn evaluates to bottom. If a negative ID is specified, then the ID defaults to zero.

RightEdge[edit]

RightEdge returns the x position of the right edge of the screen, in absolute stage coordinates.

Format
LeftEdge
Arguments
none
Return type

This trigger is equivalent to the expression "CameraPos X + GameWidth / 2".

Example:

trigger1 = Pos X + CameraPos X > RightEdge
  Triggers if the player is to the right of the right edge of the screen.

RootDist[edit]

This trigger is only valid for helper-type characters. RootDist returns the distance from the helper to its root. The root is the main player character who owns the helper: for instance, if you select Kumquat to play with, and Kumquat spawns a helper named Kiwi, who in turn spawns a helper named Penguin, then Penguin's root is Kumquat, and Penguin is a descendant of Kumquat. RootDist works similarly to P2Dist.

Format:
RootDist [component]
Arguments:
[component]

Return type:
float
Error conditions:
Returns bottom if the player has no root.
Details:

For comparing the Y-distance, RootDist gives the difference in the heights of the players' Y-axes. A negative value means that the root is above its descendant.

For comparing the X-distance, ParentDist gives the X-distance of the root's axis from the descendant's axis. A positive value indicates the root is in front of its descendant.

Error conditions
none

Example:

trigger1 = RoundsExisted = 0
trigger1 = TeamMode = Turns
trigger1 = RoundNo > 0

Format
RoundState
Arguments
none
Return type
int
Error conditions
none

Returns the total number of hits the player's current attack move has done. This value is valid only for a single state; after any state change, it resets to 0. To prevent it from resetting to 0, set hitcountpersist in the StateDef (see cns documentation for details). The HitCount and UniqHitCount triggers differ only when the player is hitting more than one opponent. In the case where the player is hitting two opponents with the same attack, HitCount will increase by 1 for every hit, while UniqHitCount increases by 2.
