Freespecial Command for Down, Diagonal Up-Forward and Action Button

[maxman]

I'm trying to make a special command move with diagonals (and attack) after pressing the down button. I know the freespecial command only lets you do D F U and B. but no diagonals such as UF (up-forward), DF (down-forward). For instance, when pressing down, and diagonal up-forward with jump, it can perform a super forward jump as a freespecial animation.

What I'm trying to do is to make a player perform a super forward jump with a diagonal command after the down press. I'm using the entity script which works well for pressing diagonal buttons instead of keyscript.

Both freespecial2 and freespecial3 have the same animations but the commands are different.

superfjump.c:

void main(){
    SuperJump();
}

void SuperJump(){
    int iPlIndex = getlocalvar("player"); //Get calling player
    void vSelf = getplayerproperty(iPlIndex , "entity"); //Get calling entity
    void vAniID = getentityproperty(vSelf,"animationID"); //Get current animation ID
    void vAniPos = getentityproperty(vSelf, "animpos"); //Get current animation frame
    int iDir = getentityproperty(vSelf, "direction");  //Get current facing direction

    void iUp = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "moveup"); // New key status of "Up"

    void iAttack3 = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack3"); // New key of "Attack 3"
    void iAttack4 = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack4"); // New key of "Attack 4"

    void iLeftR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "moveleft"); // Release status of "Left"
    void iRightR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "moveright"); // Release status of "Right"
    void iDownR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "movedown"); //Release status of "Down"
    void iAttackR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "attack"); //Release status of "Attack"

    void iUpH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveup");
    void iDownH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "movedown");
    void iLeftH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveleft");
    void iRightH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveright");

//Super forward jump
   if(vAniID == openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL2")){
       if(iRightH){
           changeentityproperty(vSelf, "direction", 1);
           //changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
           //tossentity(vSelf, 5, 3, 0);
           if(iJump){
                changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
                tossentity(vSelf, 5, 3, 0);
           }
       }else if(iLeftH){
           changeentityproperty(vSelf, "direction", 0);
           //changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
           //tossentity(vSelf, 5, -3, 0);
           if(iJump){
                changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
                tossentity(vSelf, 5, -3, 0);
           }
       }
   }
  
   if(vAniID == openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL3")){
       if(iUpH && iDir == 1){
           if(iJump){
               changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
                tossentity(vSelf, 5, 3, 0);
           }
       }else if(iUpH && iDir == 0){
           if(iJump){
                changeentityproperty(vSelf, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL6"));
                tossentity(vSelf, 5, -3, 0);
           }
       }
   }

}

Despite the functions working well for the diagonals, I feel like pressing those two buttons or making commands out of those two at the same time with this kind, makes it feel like it's stiff. Because I use commands from freespecials. You just have to press up+forward at the same before the jump button. Is there a better or more functional way to do this command?

When I try using @DCurrent's diagonal script, with a new key for the down and diagonal command, I can't execute the move.

void main(){
    SuperJump();
}

void SuperJump(){
    void vSelf = getlocalvar("self"); //Get calling player
    int iPlIndex = getentityproperty(vSelf , "playerindex"); //Get calling entity
    void vAniID = getentityproperty(vSelf,"animationID"); //Get current animation ID
    //int vAniPos = getentityproperty(vSelf, "animpos"); //Get current animation frame
    int iDir = getentityproperty(vSelf, "direction");  //Get current facing direction

    int iUp = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "moveup"); // New key status of "Up"
    int iDown = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "movedown"); // New key status of "Down"
    int iLeft = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "moveleft"); // New key status of "Left"
    int iRight = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "moveright"); // New key status of "Right"
    int iJump = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "jump"); //New key status of "Jump"
    int iSpecial = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "Special"); //New key status of "Special"
    int iAttack = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack"); //New key status of "Attack"
    int iAttack2 = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack2"); // New key of "Attack 2"
    int iAttack3 = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack3"); // New key of "Attack 3"
    int iAttack4 = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 1, "attack4"); // New key of "Attack 4"

    int iLeftR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "moveleft"); // Release status of "Left"
    int iRightR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "moveright"); // Release status of "Right"
    int iDownR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "movedown"); //Release status of "Down"
    int iAttackR = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 2, "attack"); //Release status of "Attack"

    int iUpH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveup");
    int iDownH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "movedown");
    int iLeftH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveleft");
    int iRightH = playerkeys(iPlIndex, 0, "moveright");
    
    
//    void target; int pIndex;
    int key_forward; int key_hold; int key_press;
    
//    target = getlocalvar("self");
//    pIndex = getentityproperty(target, "playerindex");
    
    key_hold    = getplayerproperty(iPlIndex, "keys");
    key_press    = getplayerproperty(iPlIndex, "newkeys");
    int HoldUp;
    
    if(key_press & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVEDOWN")){
        HoldUp = key_hold & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVEUP");
    }
    
    if(HoldUp)
    {
        key_forward = dc_check_key_forward(key_hold, vSelf);
   
        if(key_forward && iJump)
        {
            performattack(vSelf, openborconstant("ani_freespecial6"));
        }
    }

}

int dc_check_key_forward(int key_status, void vSelf)
{
    int result;
   
    // Default false.
    result = 0;
    
    int direction = getentityproperty(vSelf, "direction");
   
    if(direction == openborconstant("DIRECTION_RIGHT"))
    {
        if(key_status & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVERIGHT"))
        {
            result = 1;
        }       
    }
    else
    {
        if(key_status & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVELEFT"))
        {
            result = 1;
        }
    }
   
    return result;
}

I also tried using this one:

    if(iDown){
        HoldUp = key_hold & openborconstant("FLAG_MOVEUP");
    }

But I can't make it to work. What am I doing wrong?
