0:00All right. So, I'm going to be showing
0:01you how to make uh the hit types. So,
0:05for stunning,
0:06for blocked, block break, and things
0:10like that. But the first thing I wanted
0:12to do is address an issue with
0:16the input began, the is typing thing for
0:18the user input.
0:21So, if we play the game now, you'll see
0:24that okay, blocking works, but if you
0:26press shift, it just unblocks like so.
0:29So a way to fix that
0:31is it's because it's saying that
0:35uh left shift and right shift count as a
0:38sort of game processed event. So if you
0:40want to get um bypass that we can say if
0:43processed and
0:46um change this to
0:49inputs and I'm going to say if processed
0:53and input.key
0:56code is not equal to my key code left
0:59shift and input.key key code is not
1:04equal to you know my key code right
1:06shift
1:08then we can say is typing was true
1:13so now if we play the game we'll see
1:15that okay now if you press shift or
1:17anything like that it won't unblock if
1:19you start typing then it will so yeah
1:22that's
1:23that now let's go on to the um hit type
1:28sort of um deal for this
1:30video So for hit types, it's going to be
1:34something
1:35like for um we'll make a folder called
1:38hit
1:40types. And then we can make module
1:42scripts depending on what the hit type
1:44is. So let's say like okay, you just hit
1:46them normally. You call that default.
1:50And we can duplicate this. We can call
1:51this blocked or block break like so.
1:56Let's do um focus on default for now.
1:59Let's call this default hit type just
2:01for a comment
2:03and local hit type and then return hit
2:06type.
2:10Actually instead of doing this we can
2:11just say return function and then add
2:14our variables in here.
2:16So if we go to
2:19our fist
2:21system we can actually start requiring
2:24these headups.
2:26So remember in the previous video where
2:27I was like you if you write
2:30an if you run code outside of here it'll
2:34automatically run once the fist is or
2:36once the module is required. So we can
2:39say something like requiring head
2:42types and now we can say for underscore
2:45module and script.parent parent a parent
2:48of head types
2:49do I'll get children
2:52oops if module is a module script
2:56then let's say hit types like
2:59so weapon
3:03type hitit types module name equals
3:06require
3:08module now if we go down here instead of
3:11just making it take damage like so we
3:13can
3:14say get the status folder
3:17Or we can say local state service which
3:19you already mentioned up here. So local
3:21is blocking equal state service check
3:24state your target hit comma
3:28blocking like
3:30so. Now we haven't added a blocking hit
3:33type in here yet. This is going to be in
3:35the um future
3:37minutes um once we add in the default
3:40type. So we can say if is blocking then
3:44blocking or like do blocked hit site or
3:47something like
3:48that. But otherwise we'll just say
3:50default hit
3:52site. Now for this combat system in
3:55particular, I'm not going to worry about
3:57sort of thing like a block or posture
3:59bar. We're just going to make it to
4:00where if you're on the last M1 or last
4:02swing, it'll block break.
4:05So we can say if swing number do value
4:08is greater than or equal to
4:10five then last hit which is going to be
4:14a block
4:15break. However, we don't need to do this
4:18up here. We only need to do this if
4:19they're blocking it. So before we even
4:22add in the block and block break hit
4:24types, we can say if swing number value
4:28is greater than or equal to five or we
4:31can't do that because we already reset
4:32it. So we will do true swing
4:35number. If true swing number is greater
4:38than equal to five then block break.
4:42Otherwise we just do the blocked hit
4:45type like so. But here we'll just
4:49say our weapon type dot hit types
4:54default and then we will do the open
4:56parenthesis because this is going to run
4:58the function because we return the
5:00function. But now we need to add in
5:02variables or parameters so we know who
5:06exactly we're hitting and things like
5:07that. So here we can just say okay we
5:12want the character we want
5:15the target hit things like that and we
5:19also want the weapon
5:22used. So let's see if we have that up
5:25here
5:26anywhere. Here we go. Yep. To name. So
5:29we can say to name like
5:32so. Now we can go over here we can say
5:35um attacker we can say target hit,
5:39weapon use like
5:41so. And we can also if we want it to
5:44autocomplete. So we can add annotations
5:46in here. So if we go to fist we can say
5:49okay we know the character is going to
5:51be a
5:52model. We know the target hit is also
5:55going to be a model. And we know the
5:57weapon used is going to be a string.
5:58Like
5:59so. Now we can make it do damage. So
6:03we'll say we'll require
6:08the weapon data. So we say weapon data
6:11module. Let's get our services
6:16first. Local
6:18modules. I'm going say weapon data
6:20module equals require modules weapon
6:23data.
6:25Now we can say local found weapon data
6:28weapon data module get weapon data
6:30weapon used. It found weapon data. Done.
6:34Now we can check for the target
6:39humanoid. Target hit. Find shot
6:42humanoid. If not target humanoid then
6:45return
6:46end. And now we can make it do damage.
6:49So we can say target humanoid take
6:52damage. You see it doesn't autocomplete.
6:54So we can say annotate as a humanoid.
6:57Now it auto completes it for you. Take
7:00damage and then we can say go to our
7:04thing right here dot damage if we
7:06recall. So we can say found weapon data
7:09damage like
7:11so. And then just for like um we can add
7:14a print statement and we can say default
7:18hit type reached and we can say comma
7:21attacker target hit weapon use like
7:24so just so we know that the um the
7:28module is actually
7:30called. So now let's review the
7:34code and yep it should work.
7:41So if we play the game,
7:44we'll see. Okay, our punching works, our
7:46blocking works. If you punch him, you
7:48can see that okay, hit type reached and
7:51hit dummy
7:52fist. So we know that works. Now we can
7:56start working on things like our blocked
7:58hit type. So if we duplicate this, we
8:01can call this
8:02blocked. And then after that we can
8:05refer back to our fist script and we can
8:08say weapon type dot or weapon yeah
8:11weapon type hit types block and then we
8:14can call it like
8:16so to name. Now I want to note like how
8:21exactly useful this is because the
8:24reason we pass in the weapon use string
8:26right is because let's say we want um a
8:29unique sort of effect or um something
8:34like that. We can say if weapon used
8:36equals equals let's say sacred uh sacred
8:40katana or something. We can add like a
8:43really cool effect if we want to and
8:45things like that. Or if we want it to be
8:47default, we can say oh else we'll just
8:50do a normal normal hit
8:53effect. But we're going to do um an
8:58effects handler in the next video. But
9:00for now, we're just going to work on
9:02this. So we can go to
9:04blocked. We can say blocked hit type
9:08reached. And here we don't want to take
9:10any damage. Or if we do, we can go to
9:13our weapon data module. We can say chip
9:16damage. Essentially chip damage. Um,
9:19it's just block damage or we can change
9:22this to block damage. There we go. We
9:24can say, okay, we want them to take like
9:26two damage if they're blocking or
9:27something like
9:28that. Now, we can just go back to
9:31here, go to block, and we can say target
9:35humanoid take damage found weapon
9:36data.block damage. Like so.
9:40And I forgot to add a stun in here. So
9:44we can say local state service equals
9:48require script. parent state
9:52service. Now we can say
9:56oops. Let's organize this white space.
9:58All right. Add state target
10:02hit, stunned. And we can make them
10:04stunned for like maybe 4
10:06seconds like so.
10:10And then we can go to our state service
10:15because this might this line might not
10:17work because the target hit isn't an
10:20actual player and it doesn't have the um
10:23the state service folder in it or the
10:24status folder in it. So if we want to
10:28fix that, we go to state
10:30service add state and you'll see it will
10:33definitely not work because we set a not
10:35status folder then. But if it doesn't
10:37find it, we can just say something like
10:40uh status folder is equal to instance
10:42new folder status folder.name equals
10:45status and status folder.parent equals
10:48the character or in this case the
10:50character would be target hit. So this
10:52is going to work now. So if we just get
10:55out of that and we go back to blocked or
10:58default the stunned should work. So
11:01let's go over here and look at it.
11:06We play the game. We look in.
11:10Let's look at hit dummy.
11:13And you'll see that he has a status now.
11:15Oops. Let's open it. Yep. You say he's
11:18stunned.
11:20And after that, let's go to like
11:22animation dummy. You'll see that
11:23automatically makes a new status folder
11:25too. And stun gets
11:29added. Now, let's go back to the block.
11:32Let's make a new dummy called block
11:34dummy. So we can duplicate the hit dummy
11:36we have and just call this block
11:40dummy like so. And let's just add a
11:43script in here so it can play the
11:45animation. So we just uh let's just
11:47duplicate the auto
11:50animation. We call this block
11:52anim. Now we can say local block
11:56animation equals or no let's say local
11:59humanoid script. Uh
12:02humanoid block animation humanoid oops
12:05do
12:07animator humanoid load animation script
12:10of block
12:11animation
12:14play. So yeah that should
12:18work. So if we play the
12:20game we'll see that the yep the block
12:23animation plays but we didn't account
12:26for the fact that we need to actually
12:27add the block status into the player.
12:31So
12:33let's go over here and we can add a
12:35status folder in here called block
12:36called
12:43status equals script. parent or another
12:47way we could do this is just add a
12:48folder called status in here but I'm
12:50just going to do it script wise for now
12:52because it doesn't really matter in the
12:54end and for that we can just add a block
12:57status or local
12:59blocking instance new folder blocking
13:03name equals
13:04blocking blocking parent status folder
13:06like
13:08so now if we play the game
13:15And then we open the blocked dummy. See,
13:18he has a blocking thing in here. So, we
13:21hit him. We'll see that. Okay, we have
13:23blocked hitype breached.
13:27Yep. Like
13:29so. But now we actually have to work on
13:32the block
13:34break because that's how we scripted it
13:37for it to block break on the last swing.
13:40So we can duplicate the blocked module
13:44and we can call this block break and we
13:46can duplicate this code and say block
13:50break like
13:52so. Now we don't want the block break to
13:55actually make them take damage. We just
13:56want them to be stunned for a long time.
13:59So we can say block break hits breached
14:02and we can
14:03say get the state service in here.
14:08Now we can say local or state service
14:11add state a target hit comma stunned and
14:16we want it to be stunned for around 1.5
14:18seconds. We can also add another state
14:20called block
14:22broken for
14:241.5. There we go. And notice how these
14:27two durations are the
14:29same. And we can also play the block
14:32break animation.
14:34So
14:37one way we can do this is we can use
14:39load
14:40animation on the animator.
14:43Oops. Animator
14:46or we can make a animations module in
14:50here. So we can account for two of these
14:53things. So we can say um as you'll see
14:57that in our character we have the core
15:00and then
15:01animations. So we'd also need to
15:03duplicate the core and add that into
15:04there like so. Oh, we're going to remove
15:07the input because we don't want the
15:09dummy to be accessing client script. So
15:12see
15:13this and after that we can go over here
15:18we can say if target hit find for child
15:21core then local animations
15:27module equals
15:29require target hit.core record
15:32animations and we can say
15:34animations.loaded
15:36animations. Let's remove the block.
15:38Let's move the block break to just the
15:40um normal animations.
15:42So we can just add a new folder in here
15:44called
15:46character like so
15:49and we can just go over here block
15:51break. So go to animations and we can
15:54say
15:56character.block break and we can say
15:59play. Otherwise, we'll just load the
16:01animation normally. So, we can say local
16:04animator target humanoid uh
16:08animator or we can say find for child
16:11animator cuz what if it's not
16:13there? So, if
16:15animator then we can say local block
16:20break equals animator load animation.
16:24Let's add an autocomplete to this. So,
16:26annotate this like so.
16:29So now we can call that
16:31animation and then we can
16:33say let's add an assets variable in
16:38here. We can say
16:40assets dot character.block break oops
16:44animations character blockbreak and we
16:47can say block break animation play like
16:49so. So this is going to account for the
16:51fact that okay there's a core and an
16:53animations module then we play the
16:55normal animation. We don't need to load
16:56it. But if there's not, we'll just um
16:59load it and we'll play
17:02it. So in the script over here, we can
17:05just require
17:06the animations
17:09module. Require
17:12script.parent.core animations. We say
17:15animation modules load anim. And we can
17:18say gamer to assets animations
17:22character. Like so.
17:24Now, if we just get out of that script
17:27and we go over here,
17:30we'll also want the dummy to reblock
17:32after they're done block broken. So, we
17:35can replicate
17:36that. So, we can
17:38say we can say while true
17:43do or we can say yeah while true
17:49do test. Okay, cuz remember if you don't
17:52add a test weight, it's just going to
17:54spam the same thing multiple times and
17:56it's going to cause the script to break
17:58and output something like script exhaust
18:00time. So add a wait and we'll
18:04say if status folder find first child
18:07block broken or status folder find for
18:11child stunned then we can say
18:14uh blocking
18:18destroy otherwise we'll just reblock him
18:20and we also want to stop the animation
18:24so block animation stop. Otherwise,
18:28we'll just create a new blocking
18:30instance. So, let's make this function
18:32create blocking instance like
18:36so. And then we can just call that
18:38function. Remember the do not repeat
18:40yourself. So, we just call the function
18:42here. And we'll also
18:45[Music]
18:48say_, V inside folder, which should do
18:52v.name equals then v
18:55destroy or v.name name equals blocking
18:57my false.
18:59Otherwise, we'll just say create
19:01blocking instance. And we want to play
19:02the animation.
19:05And then over here, if since we don't
19:07want it to spam play the animation, we
19:09can say if block
19:10animation is playing, then we want to
19:14stop. Otherwise, we can say
19:18if block animation if not block
19:20animation is
19:23playing, then block animation play.
19:27And we don't want to spam create a ton
19:28of blocking instances. So we can say if
19:31not satisfer find for shot blocking.
19:34Then we do
19:35this. And there we go. That's this is
19:38going to allow for the dummy to reblock
19:40after it's been
19:41guardbroken. So if we play the game,
19:44we'll see an error. Let's see.
19:48Attempt to index nil with get
19:50descendants. Oh, forgot to fill in the
19:52animator variable. Okay. Or parameter.
19:55So, if we go over here, we'll see that
19:59right here. We can go to script.parent.h
20:03humanoid.an animator like so. And let's
20:07just go over here.
20:09We'll do all this. Move this up
20:12here. Remove all of this. So, we can
20:15instead of doing script apparent
20:16humanoid, we can just say humanoid like
20:19so.
20:21And let's go over here.
20:27game and you'll see that it works. So,
20:29he's blocking and we can see that. Okay.
20:33And then he's guard
20:35broken. And then if we He's doing a lot
20:39of damage. Hold
20:41on. Let's go to our blocked site. Block
20:46damage.
20:54Let's see.
20:59Oh,
21:01okay. So, yeah, interesting. Well, let's
21:05just remove this part of the script. And
21:07there we go. It should be fixed.
21:09Okay. Now, if we go back to the block
21:12and let's just remove all these prints
21:14over here. Now, it should work. So,
21:17let's just go over here to fist. We'll
21:19change this to two again.
21:21And then if we play the game, it should
21:24be fine now.
21:26Yep, there we go.
21:28And you see that he block breaks for a
21:30little bit and then he goes
21:33back like
21:35so. So let's increase the block break
21:38time or no, let's make him reblock after
21:42a little bit. So we can
21:44say if not satisfied or find shot
21:46blocking then we can say
21:48test weight one and make him reblock.
21:59There we go. Now we wait one and now we
22:02rebu like
22:04so. And in that time frame, we can do,
22:07you see how it's normal damage, but if
22:09you
22:10reblocks, you see that? Yep. Works.
22:14And if we look at his status folder, you
22:17see it's only a single
22:19blocking, which works because test.wait
22:22will yield this whole loop until this
22:25part is
22:26called. And yep, that's that.
22:34So, that's going to be pretty much it
22:36for this episode. Mainly, I just wanted
22:38to focus on adding in new hit types and
22:42showing y'all how
22:43to incorporate them in the script. So,
22:46you see that we made it okay, we block
22:48on the last M1. And otherwise, we do a
22:50blocked effect. And then if none of
22:54those apply, then we just do the normal
22:55hit
22:56type. And it's very easy to configure
22:59them because if we want to have a unique
23:01functionality, we can say weapon use
23:03blah blah blah like I mentioned earlier.
23:07And you see that block damage, we have
23:09just the default damage over here. And
23:12then here I made I showed you how
23:16to if the if there's no animation module
23:20in here, then we just load the
23:22animation, we play it. Otherwise, we
23:25just get the animations module and then
23:27we play
23:28it. So,
23:31yeah. So, that's going to wrap up this
23:33video. The next video is going to be
23:35released later today as well, and it's
23:38going to focus on adding visual effects
23:40to our combat system, cuz right now, the
23:43combat system honestly looks extremely
23:45bland, and we don't want it looking like
23:49this when we release it.
23:52So, we will add visual effects like a
23:56little blocked effect and a block break.
23:57Sort of like a dizzy I'm spinning around
24:00effect, a hit effect and things like
24:03that. So, yeah. Hope you enjoyed the
24:05video. See you.
