help with coding

how do i hold a button down so that the action will not stop... for example in mortal kombat i want a character to be able to hold a blocking action. when ever i hold it down, the action keeps breaking for a split second.


thanks for listening

In the blocking state have the end changestate have a trigger like -

trigger1 = command != "whatever command you use"

... haven't tried it myself but it wouldn't hurt to try. This will end the blocking state whenever you release the buttons.

What el chupacabras said its correct......you can add to the trigger an && time >=#
so these will make that if you have just entered the state ans have stopped pressing the buttons, the char doesnt immediatly changes to another state (these is just to make the char finish the stance)

Since you said like in mortal kombat, I assume you want block to be a button, and not actually the back direction.

For this you will need to code a changestate in your cmd, to change to the block state when you press a button.

well its for my buront character... he has a blocking ability aswell but it only last for a second. i would like to make it continuous till i let go of the button

we already have post the answers

Search for the blocking statedef ...and change the trigger of the changestate for command!="whaterever"
