how do i press double A to double punch

im going to make A for single punch and if player rapidly press A it will spawn special punch!

You could try making some sort of a counter which will count how many time specific button was pressed and then do something.

i don't found any solution on this.

can you elaborate ?

Have a global variable for Timer and ButtonCount

Every Tick at dt to Timer. This will create a timer

Every time A is pressed, add 1 to ButtonCount.

If ButtonCount >= 5 and Timer <= 5 then

Spawn special attack

Of course the number 5 can be changed. With this example, A has to be hit 5 times before the timer reaches 5 seconds.

You will need to make the timer reset each time the button is pressed as well so you know if they hit A in the allotted time.   Play around with it. I'm sure you will get it :).

You'll need 'Combo' Variable

Default is 0

Punch Event 1

-Check if Combo is '0'

-If yes, it should set combo as '1'

-Execute Punch

-Wait 1 Second

-Set combo back to '0'

Punch Event 2

-Check if combo is '1'

-If yes, it should set combo to '2'

-Execute Punch 2

-Wait 1 Second

-Set combo back to '0'

This already deals with cooldown of attack 1, and combo 2.

sorry am noob

hello ? someone ?

ok i tried arcadED i succeed, but what is DT ?

and how do i ..

for example one combo MANA used for 50 2nd combo 50

so the next combo the player can't perform the COMBO because of mana lacked.

how should i do that ?

and once again thx to arcadED

Delta Time, it's a feature inside the engine. Delta time means a space of time between 2 point in a time line.

You can reproduce your request following this procedure:

• Create a number variable inside your instance (instance is the sprite object) and call it as "combo";

|- On keyboard "A" is pressed (for example);

|- If "combo" = 0;

-- Play the animation "punching1"

-- Add 1 to "combo";

• On animation "punching1" is finished:

-- Set "combo" to 0;

|- If "combo" = 1;

|- On keyboard "A" is pressed;

-- Play the animation "punching2"

-- Add 1 to "combo";

You can loop it, make different animations for each stage of the combo, or just repeat the combo animations, this way:

|- If "combo" > 0;

|- On keyboard "A" is pressed;

#when you have one animation for each combo sequence;

-- Play the animation "punching" & player.variable.combo;

#when you have two animation at all;

-- Play the animation "punching" & random(1,2);

-- Add 1 to "combo";

Don't miss to reset the "combo" variable to 0 when the "A" is not pressed by 1 or 2 seconds.

That's it. ^^

you can use the neat search function on the upper right corner of the page
