Run and Attack

[William]

Does many games allow the character to run and hit with a sword or run and shoot with a bow? Cause MS does, and I just changed that so you can only attack when standing still. Seems kinda silly to run and shoot with a bow xD

I couldn't find one without gay music sorry, but yeh, some people move with a bow and shoot and I know most people move with a sword, its called dodging or some crazy thing like that.

[William]

He was always standing still when shooting

[GIAKEN]

Doing that also fixes problems with attack animation and moving animation.

[Anthony]

Oblivion allows you to attack while moving .

Yeah, and it looks much better now. And why should makes stand still while casting spells if warriors and archer dont.

[Ramsey]

Could you post the a tut?

[Robin]

If Player(index).attacking = true then CanMove = false
:roll:

[William]

Or a better way, find:

Code:

Call CheckAttack

Replace it with:

Code:

If Player(MyIndex).Moving = 0 Then
            Call CheckAttack
        End If

[Robin]

You better have done something serverside William.

[William]

Why?

[Kousaten]

Position Modification, I think. Or some other weird glitch. D:

[Robin]

Or that fact I could just make it so I can run and attack if you don't ;D

[William]

Position Modification will not happen..

And there are always ways to cheat robin.

[Robin]

Yes, but you can make it a lot more secure if you just add a check to PlayerMove in the server...

It's good practise to not only do checks client-side.

[William]

Yes of course it is. Most to all checks should be done server side to be on the safe side. I just didn't think about it really because I dont expect people to cheat in my game. And it's pretty noticeable if someone is running and attacking. But your right, so guys add a check server side too ^^

All I can say is "Laugh out Loud".

If I played it, I would cheat.

What? I'd have to make the game fun somehow. >.>

Perfekt, Im getting tired of your comments. Watch your language in the future.

What language? If you're tired of my comments, you have 2 options.

A) Ban me.
B) Stop posting your game here for people to comment on.

[William]

I'm tired of all your comments, your not only pissing me off but other people too. I'm asking you not to post everything that comes into your mind. I don't appreciate bad behaviour on the forum.

*shrugs*

I'mma post what I wanna post. If you wish me to not post what comes to mind, ban me. That's your only option. Otherwise, enforce the rules that your community so highly dislikes and quit whoring MS as a personal promotion ground for your game. We all know that's the reason you bought the damn community/source rights.

You don't know me. People who take me seriously, are the only ones that get angry.

How often do you see Lea, Robin, Andrew or Sonire mad at me? You don't. So shut up.

maybe its jut me, but this post didnt seem bad at all, its more like an obvious joke, especially when compared to his other posts, but i laugh at those posts too so i might not know what im talking about...

and to be on topic, as previously stated, you can run and shoot a bow in Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion
and i dont see why you shouldnt be able to, but its usually harder to hit someone when your moving and theyre moving
but a check server side for increases in movement and/or attack speed would be a good idea
if it already hasnt been implemented, putting a cooldown for shooting arrows would be a good idea to prevent spam shooting, or even make it how it is in space invaders where the player can only have one visible shot at a time
i imagine it would be annoying for the player as an archer to suddenly see an enemy, try to attack it and get the error message "Can't shoot while moving." and of course moving away as the creature got closer and getting the same message
thats my personal opinion anyway
