Jump attack or spin attack

[johnlanz]

Hi Guys,

What is the best way to handle jump attack or any attack that requires 1 to 2 secs delay before hitting the target.
The problem is when using jump attack you can't hit a target because the AI is not already there when you land. The AI keep circling so the attack is useless. Is there a way to face or lookAt the target while you're in mid air animation?

Thanks
John

Maybe play around with rotating the rigidbody of your character towards the closest enemy?
- Quaternion.lookRotation
- Quaternion.Lerp

the easiest way would lock-on the target and then make the jump attack.
dark souls deals with jump attacks the following way: loop animation preparing the attack while falling and only at a certain distance of the target, triggers the actuall attack animation.

Yeah, that lock-on-target idea could be a really good solution. Nice approach!

Thanks for the reply.. I'll try to record the gameplay using jump attack with lock-on target later and see if that's right.
