How does RPG handle shield, parry, dodge?

Or does the player have to activate that behaviour?

I thought do slash/fireball with left click and right click shield or other action , parry only available for dagger/sword .

The bow will be very much similar to magic attack only difference is in not spawning explosion scene and decal .

All is pretty much there in KayKit free assets, most of inspiration is from Character controller and RPG course in Gamedev.tv , also projectile logic is from Bramwell Williams video on YouTube , https://youtu.be/vGpFwaLUG4U he solved there projectile, which later was improved here on forum.

Fireballs - is there way to make burned/smoked area?

Your raycast can get normals. var collider = get_collider() if is_colliding(): var normal := get_collision_normal() but then it seems like you are using remote transforms to copy this positional data instead of moving your _explode function under this if is_colliding() statement if is_colliding(): audio_stream_player_3d.stop() var point := get_collision_point() var normal := get_collision_normal() # get normal var rotate_up := Quaternion(Vector3.UP, normal) # use normal to rotate va…

This scene tree could maybe be used instead of manually doing if statements trees and call some of the methods in animation tracks with Boolean check and signal be updating booleans based on area3d enter/exit .

Also attacks have different speeds, so a large swing of a mace is more easily blocked than a lunge with a light sword. You could parry the sword, but a large heavy mace can only be dodged

Yeah this is one think which I didn’t consider yet as animation dictate length of attack.

@pauldrewett

Do you not already distinguish between magic_attack and physical_attack?

Groups or classes, classes might be better.

@pauldrewett

You could just have one attack manager system but the attack would have to convey a lot of information at once. Families of attack types means you don’t need a management system for every attack type, just each family of attacks types.

I haven’t done a such thing before, currently I would need to divide the player and enemy to sub_class which would use different animation_trees.
