to make hack n slash game(FOUND TEMPORARY SOLUTION)

[graodon]

this isnt a permanent solution because there seems to be some annoyance to this method..

but when i first explored the flowgraph and checked the internet and found out that you can only assign one button to any given attack animation. and i couldnt make hack n slash like game with repeated button pressing

so i found this thing called sequential in the flowgraph where the animation plays from output 1 to 10.

PRO:
- you can finally have more than one animation in one button for combo without it being random *loks at witcher 3*
- if you assign other animations just after each of the basic ones, you can hold down the assigned button to have more than just 10 basic combos but rather have more button hold combos for each animation

CON:
- i cant seem to get the animation to play from 1 again until it plays all the animations after it. so im trying to find a way for it to reset after a second and would love it if someone could help out

You can put all of your hack animations (Fragments) in a single folder (Fragment ID) in Mannequin, and it will call a random fragment within a fragment id when the state is triggered.
or something

alternatively, if youre trying to get it to play sequentially, which it looks like you are, you can make the whole thing one big animation, or split each animation into the same scope and do some fancy magic to make it start and end between each transition.
or something

if i wanted random, i couldve used the random trigger


and i found a way to stop the animation from going all the way till the end if i stop

Using FG is not the recommended solution for animation based anything. FG is mostly for prototyping

[graodon]

right now im trying ot make platform brawler like street fighter or brawlhalla.

so if youve got any idea, please let me know. i only started recently and so far have one prototype character with a basic moveset


and i suck at doing the coding and programming so using flowgraph for now

can you help me out as to how i can make a proper hack n slash game? i dunno how to have the character turn when attacking while facing a different direction.

also, how can i stop them from moving while attacking?

I'm not a programmer myself. In fact, I'm still learning how to implement an rpg movement system.
I would take a look at maybe the third person template and disassemble some of the code in those

[graodon]

oh i solved that part. there are online guides that enable you to put the camera behind the character and make it follow he character when you move it.

also solved the movement while attacking but now myproblem is the fact that i cant hit the enemy or give myself proper health

Oh Hawke's tutorials are pretty good for GameSDK.
There should be a couple of topics regarding melee combat in the Cryengine.com forums

[graodon]

cry engine is primarily built for fps which kinda sucks. and i cant find any support there yet. i made a post on their forums.

but thanks for the suggestion

[Moose King]

Thats why they moved mostly to the templates. a good base for building your project from the ground up. GameSDK is most certainly exclusively for FPS games

[graodon]

that is so sad. and i had gotten so far with the movesets and combos as well

Check out the third person template. It will teach you c++ along the way
