How to implement fighting game style moves?

I'd like my player to be able to execute a special move.

I have this character which when jumps and I press down he execute a kick...

Now I'd like him to be able to jump and if I press twice down it execute a "super" kick

How do I implement it?

Thx in advance for you replies!

anyone?

You'd have to set up events to see if the down button is pushed twice within a certain timeframe.

I guess the easiest way would be to create a variable and on down pressed add 1 and set a timer behaviour to the amount of time available for the second push.

on timer end set variable to 0

on down pressed

is jumping

if variable is 1 set normal attack

on down pressed

is jumping

special attack is not active

if variable > 1 set special attack

thx I am gonna try it

Here is a great way to get started.

I sort it out with variables, but I am only able to do moves towards one direction... down down... up up ect

But for now is ok.

That street fighter tutorial is awesome, is really a point of reference.

Hadouken should be everywhere even in point and click games...
