How to track heavy or single attack state.

[vapakule]

Hello,every one.

I wonder how to track attack state, when hold attack key and when its ready to execute heavy attack. Is there any way to handle this??

This can help in some cases when it is necessary sustain the attack for some time and show the state of it on the display as percentage bar.

I spotted a function yesterday that may be for this purpose. Ah, here we go.

These two events :

EVENT_LOCAL_PLAYER_CHARGEUP_BEGIN
EVENT_LOCAL_PLAYER_CHARGEUP_COMPLETE

They didn't have private or protected against it but then I also don't know if things have been removed since the API change.

[Xrystal]

Nope, I was never a part of the API beta group so all I know is what was posted in a thread elsewhere on this site.

So yeah, you were right, they are removed since this post http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrolls...ut_any_addons/

any other idea to track Weapon heavy attack ?

I think the idea is you watch the game I can see the heavy attack with a one handed sword but still not quite figured it out with the bow.

If I recall correctly, you can hear when it's ready (the bow string makes a sound as it's being pulled back) and when your arm stops moving, it's back all the way.

Im actually find one solution, tracking Mouse down event. Only think i have to do is add timings to it. Usual timings when heavy attack is fully charged (its about ~1.7sec) , scaling depends on weapon enhancement or another stats. What do you think, can i use static variable as standard period which fires heavy attack ? In this case, I can add the charge indicator attack
