Two questions about my freespecial

[darkneo]

First, please watch my freespecial test video link:

As you can see, my character do his freespecial, when he met the enemy he starts his follow animation. Actually, I want he can attack few enemies at the same time but he just attack one only. I don't know how to change the command. And other problem is, I want the enemy doesn't lose HP until his big blood splashes start at the same time, so can I use some commands or scripts that can delay the attack damage? Here is my anim code:

Thanks for any advice!

Actually, I want he can attack few enemies at the same time but he just attack one only. I don't know how to change the command.

Well,that's because the attackbox z width isn't wide enough, at least for two enemies in the video.

attack6 60 -2 60 76 0 0 1 0 60 15

The z width is only 15 pixels, try increasing the value for wider hit.

I want the enemy doesn't lose HP until his big blood splashes start at the same time, so can I use some commands or scripts that can delay the attack damage?

This one might require some tricks. The easiest way is to have each enemy hurt themselves in their PAIN animation which deals the damage right at the same time when big blood splash appears.
The alternative way might require didhitscript which plants entity to deal the damage and spawn blood splash on each enemy struck by this attack.

@Bloodbane Thanks for the reply, if you have time later would you please give me some examples? Because I have no idea expecially your second suggestion I don't even know with it.

Alright try this:

attack6 60 -2 60 76 0 0 1 0 60 50

As for my second answers, the first one is having something like this:

anim    pain
    delay    15
    offset    120 154
    bbox    100 70 50 87
    frame    data/chars/bred/pain1.png
    delay   300
    frame    data/chars/bred/pain2.png
    delay    15
    @cmd  spawn01 "blood" 0 20 0
    @cmd  hurtself 50 1
    frame    data/chars/bred/pain1.png

spawn01 spawns blood splash while hurtself hurts this enemy with 50 damage and knocks him down. The former function is available but the second is not yet. I made this as example.

The second one is similar to Vanishing Rush scripts I've shared to you before except that the entity latched to enemy deals the damage couple seconds later. If you want to see example of that, you could open IRush.txt, make backup of this, then replace the content with this:

name        IRush
type        none
nolife        1
lifespan    3
subject_to_gravity 0
candamage    enemy


anim    idle
    delay    200
    offset    10 10
    hitflash Blood
    frame    data/chars/misc/empty.png
    delay    8
    attack    -10 -10 20 20 50 1
    dropv    4 0 0
    hitfx    data/sounds/slash.wav
    frame    data/chars/misc/empty.png
    attack    0
    frame    data/chars/misc/empty.png

Ah, I think this @cmd hurtself is very near what I need, so where is the script I can copy and put it in the enemy header?

 

[Bloodbane]

Alright here's the function:

void hurtself(int Damage, int Knock)
{// Hurts self!
  void self = getlocalvar("self");

  damageentity(self, self, Damage, Knock, openborconstant("ATK_NORMAL"));
}

Copy and paste this function into your animationscript.

It works! Really appreciate with your guide, thanks! @Bloodbane
