Solved I have a question about Grab height.

Question that is answered or resolved.
There's no native height adjustment, so you'll need to use scripted binding.
First thing you'll need to do is either set an entity level variable for the grabber's height, or read the native height or animation height properly.
From there, you can adjust your Y axis.

Hello, I'm back after being busy for a while.
When the player grabs an enemy and uses the Grab action, I want to change the height at which the enemy is lifted based on the character's height. I've tried several methods but haven't been able to solve it.
Is there a good way to change the height of "anim grab"?

Thank you. I'm not very good at writing scripts, so I'll try to solve it slowly.

For the normal grab, I would make it to grab the enemy on the ground, on the same position for everyone. It would be simpler that way.
This would save you work and you can let this for the other moves, like grab forward or backward

I want to make it so that the position of the enemy caught by the player is the same, but the player's height is different, so I want to make it so that it is caught and lifted.

Yes, I got it. I am just trying to make your life easier
For example, it would be weird to see Kisarah lifting someone like that while standing still.
@DD Tokki I was doing some tests found a way to simulate it by detecting the opponent height and changing between animations with different offsets.
Code:
void checkHeight()
{//Changes animation according to opponent height
void self = getlocalvar("self");
void target = getentityproperty(self, "opponent");
if(target != NULL()){
int height = getentityproperty(target, "height");
if(height >= 70 && height < 80){
changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"));
}else
if(height >= 80 && height < 90){
changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
}
}
}
Code:
anim grabbed
loop 0
delay 8
offset 141 172 # GROUND
bbox 130 113 26 61
@cmd checkHeight
frame data/chars/enemies/galsia/sor2/grabbed00.png
anim follow1
loop 0
delay 8
offset 141 182 # HEIGHT 70-79
bbox 130 113 26 61
frame data/chars/enemies/galsia/sor2/grabbed00.png
anim follow2
loop 0
delay 8
offset 141 192 # HEIGHT 80-89
bbox 130 113 26 61

The current enemy is not detecting the player's height. I'm wondering if I missed something.

I don't wanna sound mad or harsh, but why is this part only less than 79?
You're telling it to detect its height numbers between 70 and 78, not 79. You're just leaving 79 out of it. This less than
Example:
One less than two. (e.g. 1 < 2) One is smaller than two. It cannot be two less than two because they are the same numbers. (e.g. 2 < 2)
The better way to do this, since you only added it less than
Example:
The less than or equal to symbol is what can equal the same number OR have one number smaller than the other since it has two conditions. Less than or equal to.
That way, you can detect it with a given number there. Just be careful with the symbols.
Otherwise, you can copy one example from @Kratus which he put < 80 above. This one here reads from 70-79 below.
Can you tell the difference?

< symbol means one value is smaller than that particular value. If you were to put height 79 in the character header of the player, the enemy will only default to play its anim grabbed instead of anim follow200 from your code.Example:
One less than two. (e.g. 1 < 2) One is smaller than two. It cannot be two less than two because they are the same numbers. (e.g. 2 < 2)
The better way to do this, since you only added it less than
<, try to add less than or equal to symbol <= like this.Example:
The less than or equal to symbol is what can equal the same number OR have one number smaller than the other since it has two conditions. Less than or equal to.

There are many mistakes in the test. I will correct the numbers.
O Ilusionista

for Robert and Yuri, I would use this on his header:
grabback {bi}
- If set to 1, when grabbing, this entity will be displayed behind the other entity being grabbed.

Good work. I know it's already solved, but here's a piece of advice. It's not just about symbols and numbers. It's about understanding the logic of using operators.
Here's more info of available operators from the playlist you can watch.
For your case, here's a basic difference between < and <=.
