Grabbing only airborne enemies

Is there a way to make a specific attackbox of an anim, hitting only airborne enemies and avoiding standing enemies.

as a reference, this is for an air slam atempt.
the move still give attempt hit reaction to stand enemies.  :-\

Yes, but it's too advanced for you at the moment, and isn't needed for this anyway. It involves using the doattack event event to check for hit status and disable the hit depending on your conditionals.

Back to the purpose, your air throw has no business using hit boxes for the trigger. You should be using range instead. See the example below, it checks for air to air, and then air to ground throws.

Code: 
/* Instant throws. */  			
			if(iKLtH || iKRtH)																	//Holding left or right?
			{	
				/* Air to Air throw (Ax Destroyer). */
				vTar	= findtarget(vSelf, A_FOLLOW12, 100);									//Look for target in range of grab.
								
				if(vTar)																		//Valid target?
				{
					iBase	= getentityproperty(vTar, "base");
					fY		= getentityproperty(vTar, "a");
					iH		= fY - iBase;
					iAni	= getentityproperty(vTar, "animationid");

					if(iAni != DEFPOSE 
						&& iH >= 5)																//More then 5 pixels from ground and not being thrown already?
					{	
						/*
						Can be grabbed? Can't use nograb flag as we want to catch falling targets too 
						and OpenBOR applies nograb flag by default. Instead we check for riding on an animal. 
						Otherwise, anything that won't crash (i.e. has thrown poses) is fair game.
						*/
						if(!getentityproperty(vTar, "animal") && getentityproperty(vTar, "animvalid", DEFPOSE))
						{
							bind0014(vTar, 0);													//Initialize bind variable.	
							ani0009(0, A_FOLLOW12, -1);											//Apply animation.
							changeentityproperty(vSelf, "velocity",0,0,0);
							changeplayerproperty(vSelf, "playkeys", 0);							//Clear key event.
						}
					}
				}

				/* Air to ground throw (swing DDT) */
				vTar	= findtarget(vSelf, A_FOLLOW15, 100);									//Look for target in range of grab.
								
				if(vTar)																		//Valid target?
				{
					iBase	= getentityproperty(vTar, "base");
					fY		= getentityproperty(vTar, "a");
					iH		= fY - iBase;
					iDrop   = getentityproperty(vTar, "aiflag", "drop");						//Drop status.
					iAni	= getentityproperty(vTar, "animationid");

					if(iAni != DEFPOSE
						&& iAni != A_RISE
						&& iAni != A_RISEATK
						&& iH < 5 
						&& !iDrop)																//Less then 5 pixels from ground, not falling, not rising, and not being thrown already?
					{	
						/*
						Can be grabbed? Can't use nograb flag as we want to catch falling targets too 
						and OpenBOR applies nograb flag by default. Instead we check for riding on an animal. 
						Otherwise, anything that won't crash (i.e. has thrown poses) is fair game.
						*/
						if(!getentityproperty(vTar, "animal") && getentityproperty(vTar, "animvalid", DEFPOSE))
						{
							bind0014(vTar, 0);													//Initialize bind variable.	
							ani0009(0, A_FOLLOW15, -1);											//Apply animation.
							changeplayerproperty(vSelf, "playkeys", 0);							//Clear key event.
						}
					}
				}
			}

Got it! thanks.

I think I start to understand how the script works, but I have some uncertain points:


Since my move is to do only with hold forward:

if(iKLtH || iKRtH)
is changed to
if(iKRtH)

is it right?

A_FOLLOW12 is the air throw itself, right?

do I need to check for animals? I don't use them in this mod.

To use this script I can add it to my regular animation script file and how to ask for the cmd?

"@cmd????"

I feel a little confused about how to adapt and apply the script

my grab is almost working with hitbox.
but using this body detection code by DC can be a grea way to avoid weird results.

Does anyone know how to use it?
thanks.

I was checking wrong anim in Ralf.

Ok, so I tried to find all component of your air slam system.
I seems  work just like "grabcheckG".
I've put some quotes to explain what I understand.

From Ralf:

-So there is a jump attach that don't attack but go to "follow3" the actual jump attack.

-there is also a checker that detect a close air opponent.
On success, it goes to the slam "grabup2"
On miss it plays "follow3" (air attack)

I just don't understand how do you triggers/activate "follow12" (the checker)??

It does attacks but what it actually does is trying to 'grab' an opponent. Opponent hit by this attack will be slammed/thrown if it suitable for slam/throw.

This attack is played briefly to replicate single jumpattack system used in beat'm ups for air grabs.

Yep
