I would like to hear some ideas for implementing a "super move" in a game.

[DD Tokki]

I want to create a "Super Move" that is more powerful than a "Special Move."

I have prepared an image file outlining the structure and concepts of the game I am creating. I would like to know if it is feasible to implement this using scripts, and I would also appreciate any advice or alternative ideas you might have.

This kind of MP + slots display is doable with script. There are some methods, the easiest one is having max MP multiplies of three ex: 60, 90 or 120 then have super move costs a third of max MP ex: 20, 30 or 40.

It’s a relief to know such a method actually exists.
Could I see any games or scripts where the MP gauge is implemented in a slot-style format?

I believe Fight Forever uses both MP bar and 3 slots.

You must be referring to this for gaining a full bar into a new slot, right?

Solved Thread 'A MP bar in two phases'

May 11, 2023

I'd like to create a MP bar system in two phases. In the first one, the background bar is black and the growing bar is blue (from 0 MP to 100 MP). Once the growing bar reaches 100MP and the end of the bar size in the same time, then the blue bar disappears and the background bar gets dark blue and a new growing bar starting (from 100 MP to Max MP) which is colored in light purple. At the end of the 2nd phase the max MP is reached and thus the MP bar is full and gets colored in a darker purple. The MP bar is 96px wide and 4px in height.

An example with a 900 Max MP character. Of course the...

Otherwise, you must be referring to KOF 98 for the stars or diamonds, a reference that Fight Forever has. In Fight Forever, iconmplow, along with iconmphigh and iconmphalf, is used. One with no diamonds at all. The other one is one. Another with two. However, the final one needs to be done with script, specifically in update.c.

Maybe you might need to calculate a total amount of your MP gauge, as well as the 2-3-phase MP/health gauge.

That's correct. The plan is to have the MP gauge accumulate in a slot once it fills to a certain level, thereby meeting the requirement to use a Super Move.
