Change combo after track vote

[Melg]

If you really want a customizeable version, I can make one. Something like the user fills in which combo they want for each track.

Hmm your message got my thinking that I could maybe check the button pressed at the address of your code; since there are 4 combos viable, I could assign each one to a d-pad input.

So instead of automatically assigning the combo, it would check which dpad is pressed (wouldn't change the combo or would default to funky flame if no press).
That seems like a possible solution, I'll look some more into it, thanks to you both.

EDIT: problem would be that lottery needs to be finished before the player can know which dpad input to press; so the perfect combo selection address would need to be called even after the lottery animation is done; well just have to test that I guess

EDIT 2: Came up with this:

Just tested it and it works just fine. This is obviously heavily based on Vega's code (full credit to him) and on Seeky's work on inputdata.h (not my 1st code that uses it, very useful findinds). Might want to add a "default" button for rooms, to come back to the combo selected at the start of the GP, most notably for karters, since this current solution only allows 4combos for now. Not sure how I would cleanly store said combo.
