#My character keeps getting dragged away with the enemy's knockback when attacking from above.

No idea how this happened, but i spent a few DAYS figuring out the knockback on my enemy (who is a default box rn dw about it) but for some reason, when I test it, from above it will like grab the player and drag them along . It only seems to happen when the player is extremely close to the enemy..

something tells me it has something to do with the collision shapes, not the code, but i have played with them and nothing changes.

Ill put my code below, but tbh people who have seen it have been baffled as to how the code could be involved. I'm stumped. ;w;

#

const max_speed = 200
const accel = 900
const friction = 750

var state = idle
var input_vector = Vector2.ZERO

var blend_pos_paths = [
    "parameters/idle/idle_bs2d/blend_position",
    "parameters/walk/walk_bs2d/blend_position",
    "parameters/attack/BlendSpace2D/blend_position"

var animTree_state_keys = [
    "idle",
    "walk",
    "attack"

player is first, the enemy is second.

The default setting Grounded is meant for platformers and has floor detection etc, which will trigger some built-in behavior that'll lead to weird behaviors

One of those little hidden quirks in godot 🙁

OHHHH

thank you ill see if that's what is going on and i will share this with people who were stumped if thats what this is!
