Key Combination Inputs for Fighting games

[Yhac10]

I recently found out about a system used for key combinations in fighting games, so I decided to give it a few of my own improvements

Original thread and extension here:

Simple System for Key Combinations

Yesteday afternoon I though about a way to input key combinations in Gdevelop, so even if you use just 2 buttons and the arrow keys, you could do something more than attack, attack, attack combos. This is the second try for it. It detects a few key combinations like the traditional Down, Foward, Attack (Named Hadoken), even doing it mid air. It isn’t perfect, but it may be a way to start for someone (Personally, I’d love to use it in my next game) (The way to make the moves is in the comments…

So far, I’ve managed to make a few changes, here’s a list of all of them:

Changed directional inputs from 4 to 8
Updated Hadoken (Now a projectile)
Updated Shoryuken (Works closer to original move)
Added Super Hadoken
Added Hurricane kick
Made it that the player now faces the direction of an opponent
Added opponent/dummy
Added damage counter to dummy
Changed how attack system works slightly
Added more inputs (from 1 button to attack to multiple buttons for low punch, low kick, middle punch), etc.
Effect of key used also effect the power of moves

Credit to @oscuridad666 for the original system, including timing for each input and direction detection

Here’s the link:

Controls:

A for Low Punch
S for Middle Punch
D for Hard Punch

Z for Low Kick
X for Middle Kick
C for High Kick

Down, down/forward, forward and any punch for hadoken
Down, down/forward, forward, Down, down/forward, forward and any punch for Super hadoken
Forward, down/forward, down, down/forward, forward and any punch for Shoryuken
Down, down/back, back and any kick for hurricane kick

Depending on which punch/kick button you use, the move will slightly change

Also, if anyone wants, I can release the project files for people to use

Any suggestions on what I can do to improve this?

[Yhac10]

Still waiting on suggestions, because frankly, I’m stuck on what should do with this. I guess I could convert this into an extension, but i’ll have to learn how that works first.

[RMDB]

is it possible to integrate the gamepad extension?

[Yhac10]

Probably yes, I could send a copy of the project for you to try it out.
