:crossed_swords: WCS - A combat system framework

WCS is a handy framework that provides useful abstraction for your combat systems. It allows you to create any kind of combat system with ease, providing tools and covering basic and tedious stuff, like replication, skill creation, side effects, requests to server.

WCS is made utilizing Typescript and compiled to luau using roblox-ts. It supports both
roblox-ts and luau usage,
by prodiving type definitions for both languages.

looks pretty easy to use, thanks

#10

Is there an editable demo place with some examples or .rbxl file ?

Thanks

#11

you can build any combat system you want, the framework just provides you QOL stuff to make coding easier, it never limits you in any way

#12

how would i do vfx with this? and can it be used outside of combat? like sprint or dash?

#13

yeah ofc, sprint or dash can be “abilities” too

#14

what is the difference between OnStartServer() and OnConstructServer()? because on my sprint test script the OnConstructServer runs as soon as the game starts and OnStartServer didnt

#15

OnConstructServer() runs when the class of a status/skill gets instantiated. OnStartServer() executes when you :Start() the skill/status

#16

It would be great if there were any examples shown of what can be done with this framework like @Lord_BradyRocks has said above. :slight_smile:

How would i stop the sprint status effect

– Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local Debris = game:GetService(“Debris”)

– WCS Framework
local WCS = require(ReplicatedStorage.Libs.CombatFW[“wcs-framework”])
local SpeedBoost = require(ReplicatedStorage.Combat.StatusEffects.SpeedBoost)
local Sprint = WCS.RegisterHoldableSkill(“Sprint”)

function Sprint:OnConstructServer()
self:SetMaxHoldTime(nil)
end

function Sprint:OnStartServer()
SpeedBoost.new(self.Character):Start()
end

function Sprint:OnEndServer()
end

return Sprint

#20

You would create it inside OnConstructServer, set DestroyOnEnd to false and re-use it like this:

– Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService(“ReplicatedStorage”)
local Debris = game:GetService(“Debris”)

– WCS Framework
local WCS = require(ReplicatedStorage.Libs.CombatFW[“wcs-framework”])
local SpeedBoost = require(ReplicatedStorage.Combat.StatusEffects.SpeedBoost)
local Sprint = WCS.RegisterHoldableSkill(“Sprint”)

function Sprint:OnConstructServer()
      self:SetMaxHoldTime(nil)
      self.SprintingStatus = SpeedBoost.new(self.Character)
      self.SprintingStatus.DestroyOnEnd = false
end

function Sprint:OnStartServer()
      self.SprintingStatus:Start()
end

function Sprint:OnEndServer()
     self.SprintingStatus:End()
end

return Sprint
