Combo Support

firekid · 9th Jul 2011, 10:25 AM

I am working on a project for a friend, and he needs me to implement combo support.

I understand that I will probably be using InputMatching and ProcessInputMatching in PlayerController and PlayerInput to accomplish this, but I am extremely new to this area of development and to this genre, How would I implement a simple combo (such as down, right, up)?

Combos, and also dodging, is detected by monitoring activity and inactivity of directional input. Basically you save the detected input direction and compare it with the direction of the last tick. You store the input direction at the end of processing in a variable either in PlayerController or PlayerInput.

So how then would I save input direction and where?

Thanks!

Get the UT2004 UScript source code (it's freely available) and have a look at the Engine.PlayerInput class.
