What condition will allow me to transition to my "hit" state if the entity is attacking?

v.attack_time > 0 for melee attacks
round igloo
v.attack_time > 0 for melee attacks
what's the difference between v.variable and q.variable?
ah nevermind q seems to mean query where v means variable
round igloo
v.attack_time > 0 for melee attacks
Hey, do you know how to cancel this? The mob starts hitting but transitioning to default with the condition "v.attack_time < 0" doesn't ever stop it

That’s because v.attack_time is never negative. It ranges from 0 to 1: It is at 0 by default, and it will linearly increase to 1 when the entity is attacking. After wich, it will return to 0.
So either use "v.attack_time == 0", or another condition to transition, like "q.all_animations_finished"

Oh, that's interesting. Do you know why this is what they do in the vanilla resource pack?

Some hard-coded variables work in mysterious ways, but I’ve never seen v.attack_time go below zero. This may be for optimization purposes, and the transition back to the default state may never turn true. I suspect it’s just there to keep things clean, in a way.

ah, makes sense. Thank you.
