Custom Notes For Psych Engine

1) The document describes how to create a custom "Shine note" in Psych Engine that plays the boyfriend's dodge animation when hit. It involves creating sprite sheet assets and coding the note into the chart. 2) The code adds an "if" statement to play the dodge animation when the note type is detected. Additional code is added to load the sprite sheet assets and display a flash effect on a miss. 3) Final steps replace parameters to reference the custom note type and assets, removing the miss health reduction so the note behaves like a standard note.

Custom Notes for Psych Engine

Step 1: Concepts & Assets.


Lets say you wanna make a note called “Shine note”. And everytime you press it, bf plays dodge
animation, and if you miss it, you get like, a screen flash. Well, you’ll need 2 spritesheets:

1. TESTNOTE_assets

TESTNOTE_assets.x
ml

2. TESTnoteSplashes

TESTnoteSplashes.x
ml

Now, replace, TEST with something cool, like BRUH or HIGH or SPLASH. We will use SHINE.
Step 2: Coding the note in.
Yep. We are gonna code notes in. Go to ChartingState.hx and find a line like this:

(ignore the pot_note, im using my mod source for this) Now you want to add your note
there. So type the note name there, right about here:

Next we want to get the note workin’. So, we go into this section
Right about here:

And we add a code section here

We have to add this:


                if(note.noteType == 'Shine Note')
                    {
                        //amogus
                    }
Replace //amogus by whatever you want to happen when the note is hit.
In this case:
                if(note.noteType == 'Shine Note')
                    {
                        if(boyfriend.animOffsets.exists('dodge'))
                            {
                            boyfriend.playAnim('dodge', true);
                            boyfriend.specialAnim = true;
                            boyfriend.heyTimer = 0.6;
                        }
                    }

Now, were telling the game to play the ‘dodge’ animation whenever the note is hit.
But we still need the flashy flash to appear on screen whenever you miss a note, so lets
get on that.
Find this shit:
Then go down here:
        if(daNote.noteType == 'GF Sing') {
            gf.playAnim(animToPlay, true);
        } else {
            var daAlt = '';
            if(daNote.noteType == 'Alt Animation') daAlt = '-alt';

            boyfriend.playAnim(animToPlay + daAlt, true);


}
And copy the if(daNote.noteType == ‘GF Sing’) thing, and copy it below
gf.playAnim(animToPlay, true);. Then lets add our little function:
Step 3: Adding the asset.
Alright, the note should look like a normal note, but its gonna make bf play play dodge
animation (you can compile to try it out, press 7 to open the charting menu, and click on
the note section)
Now, lets load our asset!
Find a section like this:

Copy everything from “case ‘Hurt Note’:” to “hitCausesMiss = true;” (include case hurt
note and hit causes miss true), and paste it after it, like this:
            switch(value) {
                case 'Hurt Note':
                    ignoreNote = mustPress;
                    reloadNote('HURT');
                    noteSplashTexture = 'HURTnoteSplashes';
                    colorSwap.hue = 0;
                    colorSwap.saturation = 0;
                    colorSwap.brightness = 0;
                    if(isSustainNote) {
                        missHealth = 0.1;
                    } else {
                        missHealth = 0.3;
                    }
                    hitCausesMiss = true;
                case 'Hurt Note':
                    ignoreNote = mustPress;
                    reloadNote('HURT');
                    noteSplashTexture = 'HURTnoteSplashes';
                    colorSwap.hue = 0;
                    colorSwap.saturation = 0;
                    colorSwap.brightness = 0;
                    if(isSustainNote) {
                        missHealth = 0.1;
                    } else {
                        missHealth = 0.3;
                    }
                    hitCausesMiss = true;
                case 'No Animation':
                    noAnimation = true;
                case 'Pot_Note':
                    ignoreNote = mustPress;
                    reloadNote('POT');
                    noteSplashTexture = 'POTnoteSplashes';
                    colorSwap.hue = 0;
                    colorSwap.saturation = 0;
                    colorSwap.brightness = 0;
            }
Now you’ve gotta replace some shit. Replace the second ‘Hurt Note’ by ‘Shine Note’.
Replace ‘HURT’ by ‘SHINE’. Replace ‘HURTnoteSplashes’ by ‘SHINEnoteSplashes’.
Replace missHealth = 0.1; to missHealth = 0;. Replace missHealth = 0.3; to missHealth = 0;.
And replace “hitCausesMiss = true;” to “hitCausesMiss = false;”.
Aaaaand delete ignoreNote = mustPress;

Now, we got our asset, our code, and our function. Everything should be working perfect,
right?
And that’s right! This is how you add custom notes. If you need anything, contact me.
