Hello. My friend and I are making a little fighting game in CTF2.5. We did run into some problems, like animation not working, events not triggering,etc. were managing to fix those errors in those events, and now we have a slight problem. Were trying to figure out how to do those combo attacks we been seeing those popular fighting games like street fighter. We're trying to do a 3 or 6 combo attack in events. Any chance on how we can setup a 3 or 6 combo attack?

One way to do that is to add a number or letter to a alterable string (let's call it Actionstring) whenever the user presses a key / does an action.
Then you can simply compare the end of the string with the combos in the game.
If the player pressed Back (2) Back (2) Forward (1) Kick (6), the end of the string would be "2216".
You can therefore compare the string "2216" to right(Actionstring) to see if that combo was executed.
This works as long as the combos doesn't involve several buttons beeing pressed at the same time, as that would complicate matters.
this works for special moves, but im looking for combo attackings with different animantion
yes but im trying to do 3 to 6 combo attack with the same button
There's probably a better way to do it but I'd use counters - one to act as a cooldown between button presses, the other to count the attacks in the combo.
So: If button A is pressed and cooldown =0 --> set cooldown to 10 (or whatever value you want), set attack counter to 1
If button A is pressed and cooldown >0 --> set cooldown to 10, add 1 to attack counter
Every 0.2 seconds subtract 1 from cooldown
If cooldown =0 and button A is not pressed --> set attack to 0
Attack =1 --> do animation for attack 1
Attack = 2 --> do animation for attack 2
and so on . . .
You might need some limit conditions in there, eg. check for button presses every 0.12 seconds or only one action when event loops etc. Anyways hope this helps some, like I said someone else probably knows a better way but this is how I'd chain combos off one button.
This might work, i just need to figure out do i need a command script or strings
You'll need some way of queuing up the attacks because it's likely that attack number 1's animations are unlikely to be finished when the attack button is pressed 3+ times - you don't want to finish attack 1 and jump straight to attack 3 or 4. In other words button presses are going to be way ahead of the current attack in progress. So maybe adding to a string might help. Shouldn't be too hard to do though.
is it possible to do a timer with the one button attack combo?

Not sure what you mean. There might be another way to do this: Use a counter and just check for button presses during each attack animation - assuming you have several frames for each animation (and you should).Quote:
