Attack Indexes
These indexes are used when setting attack grid index and hitbox grid index values, as well as checking the attack variables of players and hitboxes.

Extras[edit | edit source]
These attack indexes are not called automatically. Using one requires manually changing the value of the player's attack variable to the desired index in set_attack.gml or calling the attack via set_attack( attack )→ from another script.
Example 1:
// set_attack.gml
// calls a different attack when neutral special is input while in the air
if ( attack == AT_NSPECIAL && free ) {
attack = AT_NSPECIAL_AIR;
}
Example 2: // attack_update.gml
// turns AT_NSPECIAL into AT_NTHROW when successfully hitting a player
// must set the hurtbox manually when calling these extra indexes via set_attack
if ( attack == AT_NSPECIAL && has_hit_player ) {
set_attack( AT_NTHROW );
hurtboxID.sprite_index = sprite_get("nthrow_hurt");
}

These extra attack indexes will neither call the script set_attack.gml nor update the player's hurtbox when used with set_attack( attack )→.
Additionally, you may experience issues when trying to convert one attack to another from set_attack.gml if the two attacks do not share the same AG_CATEGORY value.

Full List[edit | edit source]
In reality, the labels for the attack indexes are (nearly) arbitrary, but can help you organize attacks as you implement them. Each is a macro which returns an integer value. Only values 0 - 49 are valid attack indexes. Some do not have macros assigned to them, but can be accessed via the integer value itself.
The attack index AT_DATTACK does actually have specific behavior. Attacks using this attack index will spawn the dash attack dust effect as well as set the player's hsp to either the value of initial_dash_speed * spr_dir or dash_speed * spr_dir on the first frame of the attack, depending on whether the attack is input during the state PS_DASH_START or PS_DASH. Holding down while performing the attack from the PS_DASH_START state will set hsp to 0 instead.
