Yo , Im having a problem to get an attacking system to work with my keyboard walking system.

Im using this guy´s system btw

So my question is , how can i add attacks in this?

What kind of attack are you looking for? It's a arrow key movement tutorial.

Well...i want to add attacks to this system.
But i cant figure any way to add normal attacks/spells when using keyboard movement.

How are you planning to make 1 button order a unit to attack a specific target at all? Same for spells. How would you want to make pressing button A to make a spell target the unit you want, and not just another one?

You could make an instant no target dummy spells for attack and or spells that gets the unit in area directly in front of caster and plays attack animation and plays sound and deals that unit damage. Would take a little bit to get all the bugs out but it wouldnt be too hard.

With enough work you could end up with a good system, but to keep people from clicking and ordering unit to move somewhere you would have to remove the move skill or set movement speed to 0 or something.

Ive tried that...but the custom script somehow prevents the animation from working.

Any custom scripts that can 100% reset units animation would work with this.

Suggestions ?

In your attack trigger. Set Speed to 0 and wait .01 which would stop you I think, though I'm not watching the video again. Then Turn off Movement Trigger. Then Do attack/ability effects. Then Turn Movement trigger back on. This would have one bug that gave user the ability to move before it finished casting therebye canceling the animation themselves, but they would have to do it fast I'm supposing.

I'm told that you can't wait .o1 so you may have to enable a trigger that executes every .01 that then activates the actual attack trigger.

Why don't you use a better movement system? Mine lets you attack units while moving using the arrow keys.
