Wasn't there a move for attacking an enemy while they were down on the ground? I looked all through the manual but couldn't find it.
Solved Attack while enemy is down

Solution
No. There is a set of commands that can make any specific attack hit or not hit downed opponents. To actually trigger a specific down attack, you can do one of two things:
Obviously script is going to be the more elegant solution if you are willing to use it.
Something to note; OpenBOR allows you to define constants and I highly recommend taking advantage of this to organize a predefined set of animations with defined constants to refer to them. Here's an example keyall script that includes a down attack that triggers on DOWN + ATTACK near a downed hostile entity. The animation itself provides range detection so there is no need to hard code it into the script.
ani0009 is just a wrapper that makes sure the animation exists before switching. That way you don't have to worry about the entity actually having the animation. If it doesn't, nothing happens. Velocity is needed to stop movement since you will almost certainly be walking when the animation fires (changing animations does not change movement velocity - a good thing, but you must account for it).
- Create a sepcail move just for hitting downed opponents. This is kind of a crude colution though, since the move will come out no matter what.
- Use script to trigger the down attack only when your target is actually down.
