An attack that can also counter

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

To start off, I'm trying to achieve something like the block system in Knights and Dragons: Endless Quest

For my character, Marina, I'm giving her a attack where she'll throw and enemy if she grabs them, which is the easy part, but I also want the grab to be able to do the same thing but if hit while doing the animation, which would trigger the same animation, except she throws her own projectile

I already tried with the script which just made her do follow1 automatically. Didn't know that's how the script worked until I tried it.

Can you animate what you intend with a gif like this?



Because I'm finding it hard to visually understand what you mean.

I'm puzzled here. Let me get this right: if Marina attacks and hits an enemy, she'll throw the latter. However, if she were attacked while attacking, she'll counter by shooting something.

Honestly that's pretty much how the attack works when you grab an enemy, and that works just fine

What I'm trying to do is to have marina do the same animation when hit, except a projectile is thrown. The best example I can think of is Yamazaki's move where he does an uppercut with his good hand that throws fireballs back at his opponent if he catches it. I found a video for it, the move is called double return and it plays at 1:03

I'm puzzled here. Let me get this right: if Marina attacks and hits an enemy, she'll throw the latter. However, if she were attacked while attacking, she'll counter by shooting something.

Bingo. Check the video I posted above
