This is the code i have so far. The Punches are on View 5 (Left, for Left Punch) and Right (For Right Punch). Those are just 1 frame each, so i have been looking for a synthax for that, Loop, Character. Frame, but i can't type it out "correctly".
I also would like the punch to not punch endlessly, if i hold the button. Cause that glitches the sprite, and the sound effect like crazy. (laugh)
It should be released, so player has to press again. a second a millisecond doesn't matter, aslong as it's not continuing the punch animation if holding the key.
function Player_NormalPunch()
{
if (IsKeyPressed(eKeyZ) && cAxl.FaceCharacter(cEnemy1))
{
cEnemy1.Baseline=170; //To avoid getting behind when smashing, or otherway around..
cAxl.ChangeView(5); //He has one Loop with One frame Punch on the Leftside (Left) and Rightside (Right),
cAxl.SetIdleView(5, 0); //That's why i try to do a abrupt idleview change, cause i thought perhaps that will "idle" according to his current direction. Does not work, it seems.
Wait(5);
while (cAxl.Animating) aEmptyPunch.Play();
cAxl.UnlockView(eStopMoving);
cAxl.ChangeView(2);
Player_Punched_AI_Once=1;
cEnemy1.Baseline=0;
}
}
Character.FaceCharacter() is a function that changes the character's loop, it cannot be used to determine whether character A is currently facing character B.
To do that, you can simply compare coordinates and check loop numbers.
player.Loop == 1 means the player is facing left.
cEnemy1.x < player.x means the enemy is further left on the screen, but they could be 1 pixel to the left and 100 pixels down, obviously.

After sleeping it doesn't even make sense to go for a facecharacter in his basic punch, it should have only been the Z button ofc. What was i thinking there. (laugh). He did indeed change loop so he look at the right side, but it's not the right way to go, ofc.
I'll give it a go! Thanks as always Khris!
