    • How do you not allow blocking in a game


      How do you make it so you can't block. I need this because it completely unbalences my game to allo you to block.

    • Don't make a block animation and don't make any shield items. I think.

      Mr. GrahamVH,

      I wonder.. Would making a key definition of the blocking key (Z) which changed it to do something else work?

      I haven't fiddled around with remapping the coded key definitions, so I don't know if you could over-ride it with a locally set key definition. If this is possible though, then I would think that would be the easiest thing to do.

      (edit) Yes, I admit it. I didn't do anything, I'm sorry. I'm going to go sulk now. 😉 (/edit)

    • Yeah Andiyar, perhaps you'd better sit in this quiet corner for a while. 🙂

Andiyar latches on to the weapon, pulls the guard in, and messily devours the poor guy. Screams erupt.

    • Back to the stuff about blocking...

      When you make a game, you set a key that you press to block. I'd think that you can just not make a key for that.

      Actually, blocking is a part of the engine which is hard-coded into every CGE game. The "Z" key automatically blocks, all you have to do is make a blocking animation. Therefore, the only way to prevent blocking in a game is to not make a blocking animation and to not make any shield items (since they wouldn't have any effect).

      I do not have a block animation, and you can still block. It just makes makes it so there is a blocking sound when you are hit and makes it worse because there is no delay in the block. In POG bosses could attack through your shield, how would I go about doing that?

      Find where the blocking sound i specified and pull it up by the roots.

      I don't think they could and anyway, if you don't have a shield and there's no blocking sound or animation, it doesn't matter, since there's no effect.

      Well i think u can set it up so you can have blocking thru a shield/defenses, set up a conditional that states
      if
      "defensive power rate < attack power of assailant
      then
      attack power of assailant - defensive power rate = difference
      stamina - difference = damage

      ...and so forth to give you an idea
