Returning 'null' tells the engine to continue to the next state. } If you want, you can use this alternatively. It's a compact, one-line version of the above: Code: IGAE G 5 A_JumpIf(GetPlayerInput(INPUT_BUTTONS) & BT_ATTACK, "SwingL2"); Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy8yMTg1LXN1Ym1pc3Npb24taW1wYWxlci1nYXVudGxldD9zdGFydD0xMA==&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **doomedarchviledemon** - ![doomedarchviledemon's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar209.png) Topic Author - Pain Elemental - ![Pain Elemental](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_9_pain.png) Less More- Posts: 258 - - - 1 year 9 months ago [\#12657](#12657) by doomedarchviledemon Replied by *doomedarchviledemon* on topic *[\[Submission\] Impaler Gauntlet](https://www.realm667.com/forum/closed-submissions/2185-submission-impaler-gauntlet?start=10#12657 "Name: Impaler Gauntlet Class: 1 Type: Melee Palette: Hexen Summon: ImpalerGauntlet Ammo Type: None Powered Mode: No Added States: No Submitted: TheDoomedArchvile Code: TheDoomedArchvile, DeVloek, BlueShadow GLDefs: None Sounds: Hexen Sprites: Hexen, Neoworm, Nash Sprite Edit: TheDoomedArchvile, Gothic Idea Base: Upgrade to the Spiked Gauntlets ACS: No Description: A metal gauntlet that has two large spikes that rip through the flesh of anyone who is unlucky enough to get punched.

Like if I wanted to implement this into the Ready state and the player pressed Left, then Right, then Attack, it would jump to a super punch state or something. Is that possible using GetPlayerInput? No plans to implement something like this in this particular weapon. But I do have some ideas for future weapons if this is possible.

Is that possible using GetPlayerInput? I don't see why not. Do bear in mind though, GetPlayerInput doesn't override player's input, so if the player uses left and right for turning, player still turns if pressing those keys, even if you're reading the player's input with the function.

Do bear in mind though, GetPlayerInput doesn't override player's input, so if the player uses left and right for turning, player still turns if pressing those keys, even if you're reading the player's input with the function. That should be fine. As long as the string of inputs isn't to long I don't think it will have that great of a negative impact. I'll be mindful of that aspect because I'd like them to be quick and easy inputs with minimal movement impacts. I just need to figure out how to make it read a string. I don't know what symbol to put in the code to make it read one input to another in a set order, and if the order is broken to stop listening. Like, putting 'A_JumpIf(GetPlayerInput(INPUT_BUTTONS) & BT_LEFT & BT_RIGHT & BT_ATTACK, "PunchyMcPunchers"); doesn't work. I can probably ask on the ZDoom forums and see if I can get help there also. Again, not for this weapon, but for others later on perhaps.
