Combos?

memski425

Is it possible to create an actor that has sword combos when a button is pressed numerous times?
If so... How would i be able to create combos?

Okay, so did you try my suggestion? You can also use the game.time or actor's self.time to determine how long it has been since the first slash and then award a connected attack if they do it quickly enough.

That one's really up to you. You can constrain a sword actor to a position near the main character actor and have it rotate or move (jab) in a certain direction, but there are other ways to make a sword attack (e.g. Animate).

@memski425 make a logic for system to learn if the combo is takin place.. for e.g... u have 2 buttons A & B.. when pressed fast one after another.. u want combo to take place..

So make a logic like..

when A is pressed..

after 0.5 sec,if B is not pressed (not run to completion) do A action..
after 0.5 sec, if B Action is pressed too, do combo..

u'll have to do a little trial.. also look for topic 'Timer-for chumps' it'll help u tremendously.
Let me know if something like this worked..

Are you wanting to do combos where multiple buttons are pressed, or where if you use your sword correctly 5 times in a row you get a bonus? If it's the latter, just make a game attribute of type index such as game.comboCount and increase it by one each time the player uses the sword correctly. Then have another "control" actor that checks to see if game.comboCount >= 5.

@tatiang - i wanted a combo when u press one button once it was just a small slash and then a second press would make a connected attack from that and so on with the presses.

Man this sounds fun. I would love to make a fighting game. I think hd can do it with the right behaviors.
