1. 0:00All right. Uh, this going to be sort of
2. 0:02like a mini update video. So, it's going
3. 0:06to be like 3.5 for the whole series.
4. 0:10This video, I'm just going to like do
5. 0:11some little small changes to the whole
6. 0:13system in general, just so we can make
7. 0:15things easier to change in the future
8. 0:18videos. So, the first thing I'm going to
9. 0:20do is fix the issue with the F key held
10. 0:24thing, which is kind of inefficient in a
11. 0:27way. So, first off, what I'm going to do
12. 0:29is get rid of this and change this to is
13. 0:33typing and digit
14. 0:35false. Now, we'll do the normal input
15. 0:38begin
16. 0:39things. Let's make this underscore
17. 0:41because we're not really going to use
18. 0:42this. So, if process then is typing
19. 0:45equals true return otherwise is typing
20. 0:49is
21. 0:51false. Now, if we scroll down here, we
22. 0:54can get rid of this.
23. 0:56We can also change this
24. 0:59to if user input service is key down
25. 1:04code.f and not is typing then we can
26. 1:09block otherwise we'll just unblock
27. 1:13them.
28. 1:15So play the game a little bit.
29. 1:21All right. If you block or hold F,
30. 1:24you'll see that we block. And if we
31. 1:25start typing, it just stops blocking.
32. 1:27And if we press F while we're typing, it
33. 1:29doesn't block again. Only when we are
34. 1:32actually blocking in the game like
35. 1:37so. All right. Next thing I'm going to
36. 1:39do is I'm going to make uh the block
37. 1:42animations
38. 1:44work. So in the description, I'm going
39. 1:46to have linked the animation dummy from
40. 1:48before, and it's going to be updated
41. 1:49with block animations. So block idle,
42. 1:52block broken, which is uh these three
43. 1:55animations are going to be used in
44. 1:57today's video, episode
45. 2:00four. But in
46. 2:02here in the add state function, we're
47. 2:05going to add a variable called
48. 2:08attributes or a parameter called
49. 2:10attributes and just call it any which
50. 2:12it's going to be a
51. 2:13table. And then now before we parent it,
52. 2:16we'll see if attributes is a thing.
53. 2:19attributes. Then we will loop through
54. 2:22the attributes and we'll say new state
55. 2:25set attribute name, value like
56. 2:30so. Now we can go to our comma system
57. 2:33and we can do comma. We don't want to
58. 2:35have a deration. So we just set that to
59. 2:37nil. And then for attributes we can say
60. 2:40weapon name is equal to our found
61. 2:45name. Like so. Now we want to actually
62. 2:49play the block animation. So we can say
63. 2:50playing block
64. 2:53animation and we'll put this in a
65. 2:55separate thread. So if it errors then um
66. 2:58it won't negatively impact the script in
67. 2:59a way. So we'll say local core folder
68. 3:02equals
69. 3:05character.core local animations or
70. 3:08loaded animations and say equals
71. 3:13require actually no let's not do this.
72. 3:17Let's reference all the variables up
73. 3:19here first. So local core folder equals
74. 3:23character fun core. If not core folder
75. 3:26then return end local animations module
76. 3:29and we can
77. 3:31say if core
78. 3:33folder or let's get rid of
79. 3:36this. Let's say actually no. Okay. If
80. 3:41core folder and core folder find
81. 3:43animations then
82. 3:49No. Okay. Local animations module equals
83. 3:53core folder find shot animations. If not
84. 3:56animation module then return end.
85. 3:59Otherwise we can say local anim local
86. 4:01loaded animations equal require
87. 4:03animation modules dot loaded animations
88. 4:06because remember our all of our
89. 4:08animations are in
90. 4:09here. So we can say loaded animations.
91. 4:13Now we can say loaded
92. 4:16animations whatever our weapon name is.
93. 4:18So
94. 4:19fool.name dot dot
95. 4:25dot block. So block dot idle play like
96. 4:30that cuz remember that's how we made it
97. 4:32to where we can reference animations. So
98. 4:34we have fist.block
99. 4:37idle. Now in
100. 4:39here we can say local we can remove the
101. 4:42remove state thing local uh blocking
102. 4:46instance equals status folder. So
103. 4:48character status find shot
104. 4:51blocking if blocking instance then we
105. 4:55can get the to name attribute. So
106. 4:59local weapon name equals blocking
107. 5:01instance get
108. 5:03attribute weapon name. If weapon name
109. 5:07then and let's destroy it down here.
110. 5:09Destroy the blocking instance. But if we
111. 5:11found the weapon name then we can say
112. 5:12loaded
113. 5:13animations. Weapon
114. 5:16name dot dot dot do.block idle
115. 5:21stop.1 like so. 0.1 is just sort of like
116. 5:24the fade where if you set it to zero the
117. 5:28animation like stops abruptly but 0.1
118. 5:30gives gives it a little bit of time to
119. 5:32like fade away in a way.
120. 5:34So, if we play the
121. 5:37game, we'll see that the blocking
122. 5:39animation does play like so. And if you
123. 5:42unblock, it stops
124. 5:47playing like
125. 5:49so. Also, what I'm going to do is I'm
126. 5:51going to add a blocking cool down. So,
127. 5:54when the player stops blocking, we can
128. 5:56go to state service add state character,
129. 5:59comma, no block, comma, let's say like
130. 6:0204.
131. 6:04So after the character finishes
132. 6:05blocking, they can't they have a certain
133. 6:07thresh threshold they have to meet
134. 6:08before they can reblock again which is
135. 6:11the cool down 4
136. 6:13seconds.
137. 6:15So let's see. Yep. Over here if we check
138. 6:18the state and it has no block then you
139. 6:20can't block.
140. 6:22So if we play
141. 6:26again, let me
142. 6:31block. You see that there's sort of a
143. 6:33delay before you can block
144. 6:37again. And
145. 6:40yeah, that's so the reason we do it like
146. 6:44this, right, is let's say we have
147. 6:45another weapon called uh katana in the
148. 6:48tools.
149. 6:50If we unequip the
150. 6:54um the katana or the um the fist
151. 7:00tool, then the server will check for the
152. 7:03previous blocking state or instance and
153. 7:07it'll find the corresponding weapon name
154. 7:09with it. So we can just stop playing the
155. 7:11animation. So this and all is compatible
156. 7:15with many different type of weapons
157. 7:16which I'll show you in the future
158. 7:18videos.
159. 7:21So yeah, that's pretty much all I wanted
160. 7:23to do for sort of this intermediate
161. 7:26intermission video. So we fixed the
162. 7:29issue with the holding F thing while
163. 7:32we're typing with these lines right
164. 7:34here. And we added an attributes sort of
165. 7:39um parameter to the
166. 7:41state and using that we made it to where
167. 7:44you can play animations while you're
168. 7:46bucking. And yeah, that's pretty much
169. 7:48it. Episode 4 will be released later
170. 7:51today, which will handle or show youall
171. 7:55how to do sort of hit types, which if
172. 7:58you hit the dummy, it'll be stunned. But
173. 8:01if the dumy's blocking, then it'll have
174. 8:03like a little um a blocked hit type
175. 8:06rather than a default stun type. And if
176. 8:10you hit them with your last M1, it'll
177. 8:11block pick
178. 8:13them. And yeah, that's pretty much it.
