Re: combo editing help
Hidden/Spoiler:
Now, if you'll notice there is a Recovery state in Attack1. If you do manage to delete the transitions from Attack2 and tie it to attack1, you will have to also keep in mind the Recovery is in there to end the attack and put you back in idle. To loop your attacks into a consecutive attack pattern, I advise this course of action.
Code: Select all
}
}
Transition("RECOVER2");
}
Take the above sample, and rename RECOVER2 in the Quotation marks to ATTACK1
And take out this line from the Transition line in attack1 to attack2
TimeEnd(0.25, "FromEnd"); //, "SyncIfOvertime");
This will let you start the attack2 from any point in attack 1.
Finally, replace
Transition("RECOVER1");
with
Transition("ATTACK2");
And add a transition line just like ATTACK1, but on ATTACK2 to attack1.
See this example

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
This:
is in your combo. This says that if you press primary fire (left-click usually) it will do the dashattack. I'd recommend removing it.
EDIT - Oh, wait, nvm just notice the "sprint" parameter.
Code: Select all
Transition("DASHATTACK")
{
If()
{
Break(); // all transitions are breaking if Duration is 0
Posture("Sprint");
Button("Fire", "Press");
}

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
Transition("DASHATTACK") //<fmr ATTACK_CLAP
{
If()
{
Break(); // all transitions are breaking if Duration is 0
Posture("Stand", "Crouch", "Sprint");
Button("FireSecondary", "Press");
}
}
You can't have Dash attack operate like this, it needs to be from Sprint posture alone, so take out stand and crouch from that. The dash attack is only supppose to activate when your actually dashing and the posture insures that if you sprint and hit Fire, you will dash attack, but if you walk and hit fire you'll regular attack.
{
If()
{
Break(); // all transitions are breaking if Duration is 0
Posture("Stand", "Crouch", "Sprint");
Button("FireSecondary", "Press");
}
}

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
Hmm, Rancor, a few combos in Dark Times and the Convo Pack have a dash attack as the third attack in the standing-combo sequence. I believe Rham Kota, for an example, finishes his heavy combo with Obi-Wan's dash attack. How is that possible, if the only posture acceptable for dash is sprint?

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
You're talking about two different things. He is talking about the dash attack as referenced in the .combo file, which should only be used as he said. You are talking about the animation that is used for the dash attach of Obi Wan and also as the third attack of Kota.

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
I'd assume you could rig another attack like the dash attack, then, the same way that Kota uses Obi's dash anims for his third heavy attack.

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
You can have it work the way you wanted. Now that I see what you mean, you need to remember, FireSecondary means block button.
If you hit block you'll dash attack.
If you hit block you'll dash attack.

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
are you suggesting i leave my combo unchanged from above post? because that way it uses the dash attack for primary fire, secondary fire, and block button
and it shouldnt be that way and i do not know what is wrong

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
The block button ingame is FireSecondary. Reload is the force button. And what you originally did here was replace the claps with Dash attack. All you have to do is remove the Stand and Crouch parts in the lines of the Posture of the dash attack transitions you changed, so they only activate in "Sprint".

Re: combo editing help [another question unsolved]
sorry for being difficult, but i want them to activate while standing,not only while sprinting,would i have to copy the state and rename and edit it?
and i want the normal attack to still be used when primarey fire is pressed, which for some reason is triggering dashattack, which i only wanted to replace clap attack
