Hi, I'm making a game which i call Blasted Earth. Is there a way to increase the number of attack frames? There's only three. I've read that thing about chaining but before the next chain starts the main character returns to stance. Also is there a way to make the main character attack just after he has dashed in? He always returns after it. Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not possible. If you want it to be possible, then suggest it to James and download the nightly versions of the editor.

i see, thanks, i'll see if it works

Right now each attack in a chain has its own attacker motion. This means that there is no way to have the attacker run out, do a chain of several attacks, and then run back.

In order to make the attacker motions chain more smoothly than they do now, I would have to do a lot more cleanup to the battle animation code.

It will happen, but I can't say how soon.

wow il surely be looking forward to that, thanks....

From a completely different angle, more attack animation chains and customisable animations should also happen eventually. But that's a bit more severe; I'd guess it needs a rewrite of the battle animation system.

I don't know what you guys are talking about!

I had a chance to mess around with the nightly a few days ago, and thanks to the lovely switch statement, slices, and whatever you did to get rid of the accursed "buffer overflow", it's fun-easy to BATTLESCRIPT!!! haha (I don't know why you ohr developers seem to dislike that word)
