AT NO POINT SHOULD YOU CLICK “NEW” WHEN EDITING THE ECT. ONOTOOL WILL CRASH. ALWAYS DUPLICATE AN EXISTING ONE OR COPY/PASTE THEN EDIT.
The ECT section many different aspects of moves. From releasing fireballs to creating the plumes of dust when a character walks, to controlling the duration of Juri's Ultra 1, to how much health Elena's Ultra 2 gives her. ECT is a deep and not fully understood section of the character files.
If you wish to create a new ECT you must copy an already made ECT and then paste it. After doing this save your file and reload it. Whenever you copy or duplicate ANYTHING in OnoTool changes made to one will also change the other. Editing the copy will change the original script and editing the original will change the copy. The only way to avoid this is to save and reopen the file after you've copied a value.
This is the start frame and end frame of the ECT script. The frames designated will run the ECT script.
There are various settings for type. The currently known ones are:

Short parameters vary based on what the type you set is. There are several we currently know and have labeled but A LOT we do not.
Each of these has a different function based on the ShortParam and Type you have currently set. Occasionally the setting will require a hex value rather than raw number.
This should always be set to Int32[] Array.
