Solved Grab attack question.

[DD Tokki]

I'd like to know how to keep a captured enemy standing without knocking it down when performing a finishing attack.

maybe you can explain in more detail what you want to do here?

I want to release the opponent in a standing position with the slam applied, like a normal grab without the slam script.

@DD Tokki

I'm using a similar feature for Max during the grab jump move. In case the player didn't perform any attack, he will release the opponent in an idle instance as soon as reaches the ground. You could maybe adapt the script to fit in your game.

        if(dead){

thank you
When I write the grabEnd code in the script, the game stops and I can't proceed.
Is it correct to do it in animationscript?

animationscript data/scripts/script.c

When I write the grabEnd code in the script, the game stops and I can't proceed.

You need to adapt the script to use the variables and functions related to the grab system in your game. For example, the finishGrab() is similar to the @cmd finish and the getentityvar(self,"grabbed") is similar to the getlocalvar("target"+self).

animationscript data/scripts/script.c

Yes, this is correct.
