how could i add things like custom music for character or just simply modifying Guis, or how i could access the client on a skill?, like
should i use OnConstructClient or OnConstructServer?
I have a folder called “Misc” on replicatedstorage
- Misc
— SprintModule
— CustomMusic
And also, another question, should i just do RegisterDirectory(directory) On a folder that contains another folder that contains modules ?, or i need to register the directory of that specific subfolder?
Sorry If I’m Asking too much 
, I am much kinda new to these things, Anyways, Awesome module

As usual. WCS has nothing to do with GUI’s or Music. It covers structure of your combat system, not your game. Information for GUIs can be retrieved using exposed apis.
And also, another question, should i just do

You can do RegisterDirectory(directory) on a folder that has another folder.
Internally all it does is just requires all modulescripts descendants for WCS to add skills into internal tables

alright thank u so much!, a suggestion, you should add a method to get the time left on a cooldown to be used again

and a custom inventory hotbar showing it would be killer 2.0!
RefxSorry for bothering you again, but I was wondering how you would do a damage buff status effect. I vaguely understand the :HandleDamage() function, just I don’t really get how you would handle outgoing damage rather than incoming.
you can’t edit outgoing damage, handle this inside a status effect of your enemy to increase incoming damage

Just sharing a bit of my progress with the framework:
This uses both WCS and refx btw.

Are you using another framework to organize your scripts and localscripts?, if so, can you tell me which one?, and how did you make the cooldown time left visual thingy? would help me a lot
Also, that looks sick as hell, keep it up

Firstly, no I’m not using any framework for organization, I just have a lot of folders in replicated storage properly labeled:
And since the framework lets you handle most things within the constructors, I don’t have that many local scripts in the first place.
And the cooldown timer on the buttons is pretty simple, just a while loop that does task.wait(1) every second and changes the text label to fit the current time.

Okay, thank you, one last question, are you using your own hitbox? or using the damageContainer function from the api?
The damageContainer function has nothing to do with actual hitboxes, its just a way to handle damage with the framework. So no, I’m using my own hitboxes

Hey, i use the On Moveset changed, is it a function?, because when i do Character.MovesetChanged:Connect(function(newmoveset, oldmoveset) on the client, it doesn’t works
possibly doesn’t fire first time, running the callback for :GetMovesetName(), nil

The bug here is that it doesn’t fires when i send the “disableTheme” message to the client, why?
specifics parts :
if Humanoid then
warn("got hum")
Humanoid.Died:Once(function()
warn("send")
self:SendMessageToClient("disableTheme")
end)
end
function handle_client:HandleServerMessage(message)
if message == "disableTheme" then
warn("DISABLED THEME WOWOWWWWW")
end
end
this is how i organized my things :
those shouldn’t be skills at all
