Hey!

Currently I am using animation events to detect when the player attacks, but I cannot tell if the attack is a power attack or not. Is there a way to do this?

Thank you!

The Anim Events

Should Help.

Hmmm, I have tried registering those animation events before, but I could not get them to trigger for the life of me. Currently, "WeaponSwing" picks up ALL types of attacks, including power attacks.

Well RegisterForAnimationEvent() has been bugged, and doesn't register every event. Sending animation events are easy. You need to use:

Debug.SendAnimationEvent(Reference, "AttackStart") ;This is just a normal swing.Debug.SendAnimationEvent(Reference, "AttackPowerStartRight") ; A Right power attack.

I'm not quite sure I follow. If I send the animation event, doesn't that just make the actor perform that animation? I want to detect when a power attack occurs. I must be missing something here.

To detect an animation use RegisterForAnimationEvent(), and OnAnimationEvent(). When you said trigger, I thought you meant play.

Sorry for the confusion. Well, looks like I won't be able to detect power attacks using RegisterForAnimationEvent(), since it is bugged. I guess I'll try conditions on magic effects, but that method seems very unreliable to me the last time I tried. Thank you for your help so far.
