Combo reset after x amount of time

[bbnoshanky (シャンク)]

My goal is to make Client based Combat system with Swing animations going from 1 to 4.
Pretty much you start at #1 then you go to #2 etc. If you are on #2 or higher in the combo and after say 1 second goes by after you swing then it will revert back to the First combo.

Here is one way to do combo reset, by using a timer module to time and execute code after the timer runs out.

Combo reset after not attacking for a second

I think you can use a coroutine timer. Also CCing @Roastdbacon who is also working on a similar problem last time I saw using the same method I suggested to him with a timer. Also Credits to @Lightlimn for the timer module required to run the code in this post. Make sure to require the module in the below script Try this out, put in a tool local tool = script.Parent tool.RequiresHandle = false local Timer = require(script.Timer) local comboResetTimer -- store the previous start punching tim…

local timeSinceLastHit = 0 --records time since last hit 0 is initial value
local combo = 0 --records combo 0 is initial value

task.spawn(function()
	while task.wait(1) do
		if tick() - timeSinceLastHit >= 3 then --check if 3 seconds have elapsed since last hit
			combo = 0 --reset combo back to 0
		else
			--if another hit occurs do some other code
			if combo >= 3 then
				--do extra damage for example
			end
		end
	end
end)

if hit then --hit is a made up variable which is just set to true whenever the player hits another player
	combo += 1 --increment combo by 1
	timeSinceLastHit = tick() --get time when hit occurred
end

Here’s a fairly primitive way of going about this, hopefully everything makes sense to you. I’ve added comments to guide the process.

used the TweenService idea found in reading this and it works very well

this isnt the “best” way but its a way

What would the best way be, if this isn’t it?

I put this above any thing else, for a WeaponAttack function.
have the lastAttack

function Attack()
    local newAttack = tick()
    if (newAttack - lastAttack > 1.5) or (combo > 4) then
        combo = 1
    end lastAttack = newAttack

    -- put the rest of your code below hehe :D
end

you can change the “1.5” to whatever time you want to check for a reset.
