FIXED - like Magggas, using both special and block anims

[NED]

My mod was not using (lifecost) special. The move you use when you're surrounded by enemies... But I started working on some cool counter move to use on this kind of situation.

My problem is Openbor don't allow to use both "special" and "block"
The only way is to hold SP, seeing all the special anim and eventually it finishes by display guard.

In WHSJ, Magggas can use both special and block anims with different commands. I checked his files to understand, but one more time. I'm stuck. :-[

THe idea is to have:
A + J = special
S or hold S = block

How can I do it?

 

[rafhot]

i use on my games  the block/special button to block
and A2 i use as special button just to need to set enegycost to take damage instead of mp



but in the way you want just set
ajspecial 1
into models.txt

Thanks, but with this setting:

ajspecial 1

A + J dont do the move at all

and when I imput SP, it plays all the special before to go to block anim.
There is no way to actually use block feature, now :-[

ned, rafhot is right about the special button, except the a2 command. You must be missing holdblock 1 in the character header for anim block. You just hold the attack button and press jump, it will make it happen.

Thanks.

I already have holdblock 1 on the header

But I tested all button combinations to have it happen.
Still don't work.

I can't block anymore.

All that I have is the special anim. If I hold it, it finishes with block anim hold.

EDIT---------------------------------------------
It have deleted my command defensive moves (rolling etc...) using S button.
I think, the only way is to make the special energycost attack as a non hardcoded move.

Say me if you think it's OK
Someting like that:

gethit anim (pain)
Cancel (S imput)
Freespecial (with life cost)

Thanks,
I used it too, but seems not to work.

[rafhot]

put ajspecial into models.txt not in the character header

 

[NED]

but in the way you want just set
ajspecial 1
into models.txt

In my mod  i use ajspecial 1 in models text for this.

I really need to learn reading... :-\

Thanks, it's fixed.
