VERSION 1.8
The Combos Setup menu is where you get to create the combos from all the Animation Slots you have setup in the Animations Setup menu.
1. Starter Animations
This provides a popup menu of the Animation Slots that are set to be used as Starter Animations. Any Starter Animation that has not been added to the combos will still be available here; otherwise if they were added to the system already, they won’t show. If no more Starter Animation Slots are available to add to combo, it will say "NONE".
2. Debug Mode
This is used to get information feedback from the GAC System. It provides many types of information:
Animation Info: logs when an animation has been linked in a combo.
Hit Info: logs when a hit is detected from an animation.
Hit Range Info: logs when object is within hit range of the closest attack
Target Info: logs when the object is added as a target to the Target Tracker when within range
