I want to make a spell with combo-timing using mana

[Arisato]

Im creating a DW6 Project, so im going to put Musou... the musou uses mana points,if the mana points reached 0 then the spell will stop.. how can i do that?

and the musou will keep going if the player holds the M hotkey until it reached 0

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

You use a periodic trigger which runs every 0.5 sec and checks if the units mana is less than 1.

That would be the way I suppose

For the "M" part, there is no such thing that detects 'hold' of UI key, except for the Arrows. You can try Game - Force UI Key though, but that would not be really flexible.

OK without the holding M key, just when it depletes

does that uses a variable? if that uses a variable then it could variable crash

Since I see you a bit over-clueless of triggering, I made you a sample test map to know how's done.

EDIT:
I want the triggers to play attack and atk slam and attack 2 and spell what ever is the offence animation until it reaches the end , Pharaoh, can u do 1 more sample map?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Well, just go to your spell, and in the field "Art - Required animation names", place the "attack slam" string and it will automatically stop it, once you reach mana = 0, since the channeling will stop.

You mean i must use the Channeling Based spell?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, use "Channel" ability and don't forget to set Art - Follow through time a value equal to the duration of your spell; so, if you want 10 seconds of channeling, you also need 10 seconds of follow through time. It depends on the model's spell animation too though.

Concerning the channel ability.

 

[Arisato]

arrh? i dont mean the time that i want it to keep swinging its sword , i want the timing by mana, and the ability will pop-up if the mana is full, and the skill will stop until the mana runs out!

EDIT: whats follow through time means? and art time @_@
