Input Names
From Rivals of Aether Unofficial Workshop Manual
Use these names when checking a character's input variables. For example, special_pressed will check if the special button was pressed within the last 6 frames while up_down will check if the joystick is currently held upward.
Note: While strong_down exists, strong_pressed does not. Use [direction]_strong_pressed instead.
attack special jump tap_jump shield strong taunt |
up down left right [direction]_strong [direction]_stick |
For directions, another input variable exists, [direction]_hard_pressed, used for joystick hard presses, like dashing or dropping through platforms.
Additionally, the angle of the joystick can be found in player variable joy_dir, and you can check if it is in the neutral state or not with joy_pad_idle. Both variables works with keyboard as well.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Basic[edit | edit source]
// attack_update.gml
// pressing the attack button while in the 3rd window will put the character in a different attack window
// this will also trigger if you press the button within 6 frames before entering the 3rd window, because of [input]_pressed accounting for input buffer
if ( attack == AT_USPECIAL && window == 3 ){
if ( attack_pressed ) {
window = 6;
window_timer = 0;
}
}
