Player Variables

Player variables can change the way your character plays in multiple ways.

Important Variables

General Variables

These variables change the main foundation of your character.

Variable	Description
url	The unique identifier number for a character
small_sprites	When 1, the game automatically scales your sprites 2x like base cast characters. The character's scale is set to 1+small_sprites, and the number can be higher than 1. Does not scale hurtboxes however.
player	Your player number (1-4)
state	Your current state
state_timer	How many frames into the current state you are
state_cat	Your current state category
prev_state	The previous state you were in
prev_prev_state	The state before the previous state you were in
attack	The current attack you’re using or the last attack you used, if you aren’t currently attacking
window	The window of the action you’re in
window_timer	How many frames into the current window you are
spr_dir	The direction the player is facing. Editing above the usual ranges will directly affect the horizontal scale of the player sprite 1 = Right -1 = Left
spr_angle	The angle at which to draw the player’s sprite
free	True when the player is in the air, false when you are not.
freemd	True when the player is on solid ground, false when you are in the air or on a platform. Updates later than free, so this should be checked in conjunction with it.
hsp	Your current horizontal speed (in pixels per frame)
vsp	Your current vertical speed (in pixels per frame)
joy_pad_idle	Whether the joystick is idle or not Also works with keyboard
joy_dir	The direction of the joystick Also works with the direction held on keyboard. Only accurate if joy_pad_idle is false
[input_name]_pressed	Checks whether an input was just pressed, buffer included
[input_name]_down	Checks whether an input is being held down, buffer included
[input_name]_counter	When an input is pressed, this will get set to 0 and count up to 7. While under 7, it will attempt to do that input.
[direction]_hard_pressed	Used for joystick hard presses, like dashing or dropping through platforms
was_parried	Whether your current attack has been parried or not
down_was_pressed	True when performing a moonwalk. False during the first frame of your initial dash. Setting the variable to false in an update script will disable moonwalking entirely.
can_move	Whether you can move during an attack or not
can_jump	Whether you can jump or not. Used for jump cancels in attacks. If can_djump is set to false, you can only jump cancel attacks while grounded.
can_attack	Whether you can attack or not Used for jab / tilt cancels
can_strong	Whether you can use FStrong / DStrong or not Used for strong attack cancels
can_ustrong	Whether you can Ustrong or not Used for strong attack cancels
can_special	Whether you can use special attacks or not Used for special cancels
can_dspecial	*Not* used for dspecial cancels. Use unknown.
can_shield	Whether you can shield or not Used for parry / roll cancels
can_shield_timer
can_drop	Whenever you can drop off platforms or not
can_tech	Whenever you can tech off the ground after being hit or not. Used by the Hitbox Grid index HG_TECHABLE
can_wall_tech	Whenever you can tech off walls after being hit or not
can_bounce	Whenever you can bounce off the ground after being hit or not. Used by the Hitbox Grid index HG_TECHABLE
can_djump	Set to false during jumpsquat, and when djumps is equal to max_djumps. If this is false when can_jump is true, it prevents doublejump cancelling attacks.
can_dash_attack	Set to true during PS_DASH_START and PS_DASH. Can be used for dash attack cancels during attack states if set to true.
can_crouch	Set to false when it would be natural to be unable to crouch. Can be used for crouch cancels during attack states if set to true.
can_dash	Set to false when it would be natural to be unable to dash. Can be used for dash cancels during attack states if set to true. Walking is not possible from this.
can_walk	Set to false when it would be natural to be unable to walk. Can be used for walk cancels during attack states if set to true. Dashing is also possible from this.

can_fast_fall	Whether you can fastfall or not
can_wall_cling	Whether you’re able to wall cling or not
can_wall_jump	Whether you can currently walljump or not. To walljump, both this variable and has_walljump must be true. Use this to make recovery moves cancellable into walljump
has_walljump	Whether you have your walljump or not
has_airdodge	Whether you have your airdodge or not
djumps	The number of double jumps you’ve used

hitstun_full	The number of frames this instance of the hitstun state lasts in total
has_hit	Whether you’ve hit something with the current attack
has_hit_player	Whether you’ve hit a player with the current attack
clinging	Whether you’re wall clinging or not. Only functions if can_wall_cling is true
fall_through	Whether you fall through platforms or not. True will cause you to fall through all platforms.
go_through	Whether you can pass through other players without pushing them away or not
grav	The characters gravitational acceleration
strong_charge	How long you’ve been charging a strong attack (0 – 60)
smash_charging	True when you are currently charging an Strong.
move_cooldown[attack]	When an attack is manually set on cooldown, the variable will count down 1 every frame. The attack can not be performed until the variable is 0 again. Due to a quirk with script orders, if you wish to set it to 1 every frame, you must instead set it to 2 every frame. 0 = Not on cooldown
parry_lag	The number of frames to apply parry stun upon being successfully parried. Set to 40 by default. When an aerial attack is used, its landing lag is automatically added to the baseline value upon landing. Does not get changed with HG_EXTENDED_PARRY_STUN but otherwise works as expected. Must be manually reset if altered.
landing_lag_time	The number of frames you will be in the landing lag state.
knockback_scaling	Unrelated to get_match_setting( setting )→ SET_SCALING. Also unrelated to knockback_adj. Increases knockback taken as a multiplier.
damage_scaling	Damage taken is multiplied by this value.

parried_jab	Checks if the enemy's AT_JAB was parried.
activated_kill_effect	Becomes true when the galaxy visual is displaying. Activates from the hit player's perspective.
should_make_shockwave	When true, it will apply the visual effects for when a player is hit by a move that can kill them. Activates from the hit player's perspective. ⚠️ Variable does not exist at the start of a match until the player is hit, so it should be manually initialized if you plan to check for it.
perfect_dodged	Checks whether the player successfully parried. Plays the black background effect when true. Resets to false if state is not PS_PARRY
perfect_dodging	When true, applies parry-invincibility (including purple sprite visual effect) for this frame.

bear_uspecial	Used to make a recovery like Etalus. When manually set to false, it resets to true when landing or getting hit.
bounced	True if you have bounced off the floor during the current PS_HITSTUN state.
dont_tumble	If true, you will skip the PS_TUMBLE state after PS_HITSTUN.
force_depth	Stops automatic depth sorting while true, allowing the depth variable to be manually set to change the depth at which the player should render. This gets reset to 0 after animation.gml runs.
left_stick_xpos	Value from -1 to 1 depending on the horizontal position of the joystick. ❌ This input is not saved in replay data, so using it will cause replays to desync.
left_stick_ypos	Value from -1 to 1 depending on the vertical position of the joystick. ❌ This input is not saved in replay data, so using it will cause replays to desync.
