Issue with TargetBind?

[Ricepigeon]

Alright so, I'm trying to code in an air throw that hits grounded opponents. One issue I'm having though is the TargetBind controller, which doesn't seem to be having any effect.

The bindtotarget controller works as expected, with p2 still on the ground. However, once the third animation element kicks in, the binding won't apply and p2 will still be stuck at his original axis. Thinking it might have been the bindtotarget controller causing the issue I temporarily disabled it, yet the problem persists.

if that's all the code in 1650 i see no out for him.

All i can think of right now is to change triggers round, do something like trigger1 = 1 and see if it's working at all on the binding, or if he's dropping out regardless of what you've written. If that's the case you have something a bit odd going on.

try using time trigger instead of animelemtime, see if that works

I think I had a similar issue, have you tried moving the id in the hitdef higher up in the hitdef? I usually now only put the id in the hitdef no lower than the hitflag because I noticed sometime the flag would not register.

Found out what the issue was. The throwing anim didn't have a 4th animation element because I forgot to save the air file. Silly me.

Problem solved.
