Crouch attacks

[kerek]

I want to implement some crouch attacks into my game.

So obviously, I have the down arrow as crouch. So once your holding down to crouch, these need to be checked.

Thing is, I don't know exactly the best way to do it. Say I have 2 weapons , the regular sword and a bow and arrow. I want them both useable while crouching.
So I want the sword attack to be the same button as the normal attack.. how would I do this? Limit the regular standing sword attack to only when he isn't crouching? and make the bow attack a different key altogether?

That should work I suppose.

Any comments/suggestions? What's the best way to check multiple keys?

do u meaN this code?




}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
//action
}
if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) && Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {
//action
}


that should work although i havent tested it

Hey Kerek, I saw the post a while back you had on your game and like I said there, GJ. Tho another thing you may want to work on in it if you already haven't fixed is the down movment prob. I noticed then that when you hold and and then hold right after while still holding down, The character stands up and the screen moves without him to a certain point. Wasn't sure if you meant to do this or not. But if not, here is another thing to fix.

I'm kind of putting the Penny Arcade game on hold for a Retail Blunders game.

Although Retail Blunders has similar aspects, the characters and story are unique and all my creation.
