Hi, I came up with an idea for a custom combat system and could use some help creating it. My idea is that there are going to be 8 abilities. Four of them will be offensive and four will be defensive. The 8 abilities are going to be block, parry, dodge, jump, slash, stab, cleave, and leg sweep. Basically for the combat its going to be an abilities only, the unit will have no other attacks. What I'm trying to do is make it so when you click an ability like slash it will target the unit you are closest to and facing. Floating text will appear saying what that unit is using. From there your enemy will have the chance to block that attack by clicking their ability, therefore resulting in no damage taken. This combat will continue until one person clicks the ability too late. Sorry for not adding enough detail, feel free to message me on here or @UsEast (AncientVirus) for more info. Any help at all would be very appreciated.

Are you working on GUI?

Also, this seems like a cool idea but how are you going to fit 8 abilities into a hero command card. I can see it being tedious if you use a Spell Book. I also see it being a bit compliacted with all 8 of them. Things like Leg Sweep don't seem like they need to be there...
