blocking is an ability for all weapons that don't animate the weapon but animates the hand to turn inward 45 degrees or so. idk how heed is going to do two handed weapons like staves.
its easy i just add an animation called 2h block or just keep the 1h one since it still fits.
Are the weapons going to have custom models or from already made add-ons? If the models are custom, will the models have fancy animations for attacking or blocking? What kind of fighting system will take place in this game, will you have the abilities to do combos or special attacks/moves?
the models for the weapons will be custom, but the sword and the bow model will appear for entry tier items. there will be no "Bronze/Silver/Iron/Steel/Mooniron/ Destinsteel/chaos-blood bronze/greenite/heedium" ore trees or anything like that.
yes. you can equip a variety of skills and spells to change around your playstyle. by customizing your combo length and effects, you can essentially create your own martial arts 'katas' so to speak. with a spear type weapon you can start a combo, then knock your opponent into the air, and then strike them again to send them flying back a bit. this is a useful combo string because spears are slower to fight with, so if you keep your foe away, you can control the battle.
in addition to this, the knockup combo string could also be a disadvantage. if your opponent has abilities that prioritize combos from the air, the moment you knock him into the air could allow him to counter with one of his own abilities. different worlds have different fighting styles, and by visiting other worlds you can learn and use their abilities.
