Animation + backswing pt.

[DoubleDraGoN]

for combat attacks you subtract the damage point from the backswing point to see how much time is wasted for the animation?

 

[Flare]

try it out? set damage point to 1 and backswing point to 2 and see what happens

I think Damage Point and Backswing work like this :

starts to attack
<damage point time>
deals damage
<backswing>
stop, starts to attack
<damage point time>
deals damage
<backswing>
repeat

Note that the backswing can be 'cancelled' by ordering the unit another order (except Stop and Hold Position) so you can quickly start another attack.

(minor changes)

starts to attack
<backswing/2>
deals damage
<damage point/2>
stop, starts to attack
<backswing/2>
(Total : half of sum of damage point and backswing)
deals damage
<damage point/2>
repeat
