can anyone help me take a look why the worg.txt enemy CAN be grabbed? I dont want it to be grabbed. i tested it for over an hour and it keeps not working

I tried
cantgrab 1
notgrab 1

Here's the grab

Code: 
anim    freespecial12 ##grab attempt
    delay    1
    offense normal1 -1
    offset    800 650
    followcond 3
    followanim 8
    attackone 1
    fastattack    1
    jugglecost    1
    offset    800 650
    bbox    750 350 100 300
        @cmd    target 3 3 1 1 2
        @cmd    dash
    frame    data/chars/aerisetta/grab01.png
    #@cmd    consume 50 0 "ANI_CANT"

so maybe try this one:

cancelgrab revert to... freespecial?

Hello! Its any way to make the hero shows a specific reaction when the grab is canceled for this script? That is, instead of showing idle, show anim freespecial15. Here's the anti-certain-boss script (courtesy of Bloddbane) : @cmd cancelgrab void cancelgrab() {// Check grabbed...

My (limited health) belger can't be grabbed using that script
Code: 
name       belger2
score      100000
health      84
speed       15
type       none
subtype    notgrab
shadow     0
noquake    1
nodieblink 2
risetime   300
death      1
bounce     1
weaploss   3
modelflag  7
subject_to_screen 1
cantgrab   1

Thanks!

It worked...a bit unfortunate that I need to use a script to do what should be native by default, but hey it works

I've tested it and the scripted grab quoted in first post above could bypass cantgrab setting. My suggestion is to add opponent check in FOLLOW8 to cancel into other animation (grab fail animation or something). The check will check opponent's antigrab setting, if it exceeds certain value cancel to other animation.
BTW antigrab is alternate way to make an entity ungrabbable. Set something like antigrab 100 in Worg's header text to make Worg ungrabbable.

Here's my suggested script:
C: 
anim    follow8 ##grab successful
@script
  if(frame==1){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");
    void opp = getentityproperty(self,"opponent");

    if(opp){
      int AG = getentityproperty(opp,"antigrab");

      if(AG >= 100){ // antigrab more than 100 aka ungrabbable?
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW10")); // change into grab fail/cancel animation
      }
    }
  }
@end_script
    offset    800 650
    delay    2
    sound    data/sounds/grab.wav   
    frame    data/chars/aerisetta/grab03.png
    move    5
    frame    data/chars/aerisetta/grab03.png
...

@Aerisetta

The native notgrab/cantgrab works with the native grab, the one that works when you walk toward an opponent in order to grab him.
I don't know exactly the content of your @cmd test_dograb script, but usually scripted grabs like the slamstart2 and yours ignores notgrab/cantgrab because they use the last damaged opponent as reference, not the current entity natively grabbed.
In other words, your grab starts when you hit a target, not when you walk toward him, in which is not a native way.

The @Bloodbane script is a smart solution for this case.
