I have 4 generic abilities set up each representing a direction in movement. w = Forward, s = Backward, d = Right, a = Left. I tried to have these abilities' stop type be button up, but all of these have a default stop event that I don't know how to disable. I don't want these abilities to be stopped by a timer or an event. I want them to be only stopped by releasing the button meaning I'm no longer moving in that direction because I use these abilities and their ability index to determine what animation states can play based on directional input. Right now with my setup of w = ability index 101, I will for example hold down w to move forward and the logs will read that the ability index is bouncing between 101 and 0 so rapidly. I have it set up with a start type of long press and a stop type of button up. The long press duration is set at 0.01. The reason I use these directional detecting abilities is because I'm trying to set up input for the animator state. If I am holding forward and I press left click, it will use a different attack. Same goes with each different direction which is 4 different attacks. So a problem I am getting right now is that with the ability index rapidly switching between 0 and 101 for a forward input ability, even though my character is moving forward and presses left click, it sometimes won't be timed correctly and the left click will land on a 0 ability index which makes the attack not go off. Now if the ability was always an index of 101 as long as I was holding down w key and never went to 0 unless I released the w key, then this attack would always work as intended.
Is there another way to accomplish this task? I can't seem to figure out how to solve this problem.
If I hold a specific direction and then left click, then use attack.
