So I'm trying to make a game kinda like Street Fighters or Black Magic 2 (love you osama!!) but mostly like Hyperdimension Neptunia. I am a beginning scripter trying to test myself but I don't know how I should make the game. I want it so the weapon inflicts hitstun upon attack and during the first attack(slash) it will make a UI appear showing the damage made and will stay while adding more damage. After there is no more hitstun, the UI will go away and the opponent will be able to move again. Can someone direct me the right way to make a game like this?
Already answered. Thanks JesseSong and radiant_Light203 for telling me what to do first!
