@eos367, you defined the hitbox for BB wrong. When you take the RB coordinates, the -10 doesn't mean "to the right", it's "to the left" since it's a negative value. Coordinate planes do not change between LT and RB. Otherwise, we'd get really weird stuff o.O
Cyanne and anyone else that's interested, when you see areaWarning in the attack data, you'll also want to look for the variables "start", "areaCount", and "attackCount". "start" is usually a negative number. "attackCount" should be less than or equal to "areaCount".
Let's assume we have a completely flat map with no fixtures. And before we continue, I'd like to thank the Aqua Road fishies for being heavily involved in my areaWarning research =P (yeah I save Aqua Road a lot
)
To define the actual threat range of such attacks, start with the lt and rb bounds and define this attack box alone. This is the attack area of position 0 (I think, don't know for sure). To find the other attack positions, just copy+paste the position 0 attack area and put it to the left/right.
Pink Bean's Genesis attack has "start -4", "areaCount 9", and "attackCount 9", the last time I checked. The first position, which is position 0, has an area of 800x600 or something, centered on PB at the bottom of the attack box. lt = (-400,-600), rb = (400,0). To find the attack range on position -1, just shift everything over by the total width of the attack, so lt = (-1200,-600), rb = (-400,0). We keep doing this until we get to position -4, which is the "start" position. We use that as the reference point from now on, and we keep adding attack boxes until we have a total of 9 attack boxes, or the amount defined by "areaCount".
Here's a sample map of both Pianuses from a long time ago, when the sp.net database was still up. One of the Pianuses is missing an attack box on their 10 Ton attack.
When you do all that, you'll find out that PB's Genesis attack has a whopping range of 7200x600, centered on PB at the bottom of the total attack area. And since "attackCount" is the same as "areaCount", that means ALL the attack positions will be active! This is just sheer overkill.
