Is a slipdash script possible?

[xdcmasterx]

Would it be possible to make a program to automatically press slip dash for you when it detects enemy attack?

No since it'd have to predict an attack.

No since it'd have to predict an attack.

Damage/attack is dealt at the end of the attack animation, so theoretically if you'd check the attack flags you should be able to evade before it hits you most of the time(especially with the slower moves)

Is this for real? What's the point of any game if you script something to play for you instead of enjoying the challenge? Grinding is another story... don't see how the two would at all connect here.

One can check what animation, and probably the frame number an npc is currently doing so yes it is possible.

hmm, sounds potential. Too bad Vella counter require precise direction facing.

I'm not sure if we could do it for projectile-based attacks like glas' balls/ elchulus black balls/ etc. plus, latency/ping should be taken into account for projectiles since it's damage is host-sided unlike melee attacks which are client-sided, meaning you'll have to slipdash/counter/whatever in advance depending on the latency.

not if you are the host

not if you are the host

You have a default latency of 50ms as a host, not including entity interpolation.

** It goes up depending on your hardware

Thats the problem with the Source Engine, even when hosting you have a small latency.

Too technical for me, I guess it's suffice to say that it's not impossible, but impractical to make a slipdash/counter/hit detection script.
