Hi, I’m new to UE4 and I am trying to set up a combat system. I have melee attacks in place but I am trying to set it up so that when the directional buttons are pressed (if the character is not already facing that direction), the character performs a backfist punch (see image below) and transitions into the new direction to continue attacking normally. Currently, I am using a function that ignores root motion when each attack is played so that the character is able to change direction but I don’t like that because it causes the character to slide. I already have all the animations I need but I don’t know how to set it up. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Incase, you were wondering what a backfist punch is.
