Returns 1 if the calling actor is attacking.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Will return 1 while the Actor is attacking, but sometimes even longer than IsCasting. So this will not work reliably:
if MyRef.isattacking == 1 && MyRef.iscasting == 0
   message"I am attacking but not casting!"
endif

Use this instead:

if MyRef.AnimPathIncludes "attack" == 1 && MyRef.AnimPathIncludes "cast" == 0
   message"I am attacking but not casting!"
endif
