[State 0, Helper]
type = Helper
trigger1 =
helpertype = normal ;player
name =
ID =
stateno =
pos = 0,0
postype = p1 ;p2,front,back,left,right
facing = 1
keyctrl = 0
ownpal = 0

then make a new state for the helper

you should first have some coding knowledge before you even try this helper thingy

for spriting, wait if others are willing to help you. i am not a spriter

Hope these help.
SNG was spot on with the helper code, but i can explain it a bit more.
When you make a helper, its basically a extension of your parent state. The parent state, or also called root state, is the state where your character
CALLS the helper. This means, for example in state 200, you add the helper code. The helper then has the id of the state you make it, since a helper
ALWAYS gets its own state. So, for state 200, a example of the helpers state itself is could be state 201. So in possibly simpler terms -

State 200 calls a helper, whos state is 201. Another way to explain it is, you put a helper code in state 200, and then make the helpers state in 201.
Why use helpers? Because they can have the SAME codes parent states use. Explods are great for effects, but cannot have hitdefs. A little cheat around this, is to use an explod code, and guess where your effects CLSN boxes would be ON your character. So for example, you could make a explod of a character attacking with lightning out of thier hands. Since explods cant use hitdefs, put a CLSN in front of your characters hands so that the CLSN is in the same place as the helper. Hope this helps. I know it might be confusing to a beginner, so if you dont understand this, i suggest reading the mugen DOCS.
