Castle Paradox

[Chaotix]

I beg you all to give this a try and tell me what you think. I plan on adding a new (as far as I know) way off making cool looking special attacks. The characters will be able to pull off all sorts of moves, poses and all, using this method! This game is a small project to see if it would work. I do believe I have pulled it off!

It is very simple, as it should be.With this, the characters can be more....hands on(?) with their attacks! First thing you will notice, is there are NO attack animations A or B in the hero graphics section. All of them are instead in the attack graphics!

Please please please try it out and tell me what you think!

No password, so feel free to look around!

Suggestions?

Chaining attacks from Jump that isn't a land animation actually works?

I wanted to do this in the past, but gave up after screwing up somehow. Likely something I did that was completely my fault (I may not have used the Null animation).

But it appears to work now, and with good effect. However; simply deleting attack frames and attempting to attack normally does not work as well, because the standing hero frame still appears in the attack animation.

I don't quite understand... I see no problem.... If I DO understand, I have already made a request in the *What would you like to see* section....

I have an *UPDATE* already! (I sent it to a few people through e-mail...)

I made a meh looking kick off face then slash animation, and by a request, a spiced up the Omni move a bit. It looks better now.

Thanks for the comment!

As long as Jumping in order to do this works without bugs, it should be easy to implement in any game, so yes this is helpful.

Yay! Pass it on! I....ME!....... the guy who used to know diddly.......... Figured out something helpful / useful!

(FACE!)

Thanks for that!

I hope that I will not have to use jump most of the time. It all depends on if my motion for the new attacker animations passes....*HOPES*

Keep it coming guys. I really wanna know what you all think!

If any one care, feel free to give me ideas that I can try getting to work using this. I wanna see what can work, and what wont'.

I allready have another neat project on hand, but I won't spoil anything.

Again, I was probably doing something wrong at the time, though I can't be too certain. If it works now, then that's dandy.

Yeah I remember that there was some trick to it, it first didn't work for me but then James gave me a hint. Hmmm, I think the target setting must be correct and the attacker animation must be NULL. Something like this.

So I WAS doing it wrong, then.

I'm surprise I didn't see this used more often, or I wasn't paying much attention to games that did use it.

I think you are missing the point. By removing the attacker A and B sprites from the hero, I was able to make him be IN the attack animation. Instead of the animation just being the attack itself.

Think how crappy his Omni attack would look if he where not in the attack animation himself.

I did this before as well, looks fairly decent.

Reason why I opt not to do this as opposed to a totally scripted battle system is because of the OHR's choppy at best attack animations. Generally, the character will disappear when they're not supposed to, or the attacks will, or there's a delay between each movement.

To each his own though, I guess.

This is more or less for those who can't/don't script.

(where can I get a hold of these...scripted battles....
