Creating timed button press RPG Combat

I'm in the very early stages of making my own RPG but I want to use the sort of combat found in the Mario & Luigi games/ Super Mario RPG. So I was looking for anyone who might know how to go about developing a time button press combat system for an RPG in Unity.

 

There may be some people out there. If you choose a specific game and say "Unity make GameX" you'll find even more-targeted tutorials.

 

I tired that and haven't gotten anything. obviously I googled it first.... I'm looking for people that know how one would go about implementing that kind of combat. If you don't know maybe not waste time with "just google it" thats so douchey.

 

If you're looking for people to collaborate with or to teach you, then try it in the job section of the forum (there are paid and non-paid topics).

In this topic, you can try to implement it yourself and if you stuck somewhere or you can't overcome a bug or something, then you can ask questions here presenting what have you tried so far, why you think it is not working and what is the expected results. So we can help you with concrete code.

 

man you people are such dicks

 

I've never made a system like this before, but one approach you could try is to use Animation Events to determine when the window for the timed key press "opens" and "closes." The so-called window could be represented by a single boolean.

If the player presses the correct key between the open--close period, then bonus damage is applied to his attack. If he presses the key BEFORE the window has opened or AFTER it has closed, however, then he fails and the attack does normal damage.

I'm sure there are tons of different ways to go about it, but that approach seems like one of the simplest and easiest to set up/modify.

 

You came back 16 months later just to call me that after you were too lazy to even start? How's your game going?
