Hi guys. I've been working on this issue for 2 days and I just can't figure out what's wrong. I really need your help at this point. The issue may be linked with bindentity, or with keyint.
I'll try to explain.
I'm trying to include a custom grab + grabwalk feature in my game. The reason it's custom is because I want the grab action to be triggered by a button press (in this case a4).
The grab, grabwalk, and throw are working well, the issue is what happens right after that. Basically, after throwing the enemy, my character reverts back to idle (which is good), but basically freezes in its idle animation - and the thrown entity also stops moving after landing. I'm unable to regain control of the character until I:
- Press a4 again (the grab button)
- Press all keys at random and eventually I'll be able to walk or attack and regain control of the character as normal. Which button works seems to be completely random. If I press jump, my char jumps upward but when landing it's stuck in idle again.
The enemy starts moving again as soon as I get "unstuck", and not before. It's not a time related issue, because if I press no buttons, both my character and the enemy won't move at all, ever.
Check out the following video:
Chars get stuck at 0:10, and resume activity when I press Grab again at 0:15.
I'll now share my scripts. First, pressing a4 triggers the animation freespecial6, which is linked to this didhitscript:
All the grab animations of the player's entity are the following: (excuse the mess)
There's a bunch of keyint's there. I'll now paste the section of the animation script it's referring to:
And finally the relevant animations of the thrown enemy:
PLEASE please help me make sense of this issue!
