Not sure if this is a bug or user error, but I wanted to share.

My goal is to disable the "attack" command completely and use the sword as a standard item (with hero:start_attack()). In main.lua:

Code: ( lua) [Select]

function game:on_command_pressed(command)
  -- Disable attacking; the stick is a regular item
  if command == "attack" then
    return true
  end
  ...
end
However, when I swing the sword, I can actually still press and hold the attack button while the sword is mid-animation. This causes sword-loading to trigger. I'm baffled by the fact I can do this when I've overridden the attack command to "return true" whenever it's pressed.

I ended up adding this to scripts/meta/hero.lua to solve my issue:

Code: ( lua) [Select]

-- The hero can only swing the sword, nothing else
function hero:on_state_changed(state)
  if state == "sword loading"
  or state == "sword tapping"
  or state == "sword spin attack" then
    hero:freeze()
    hero:unfreeze()
  end
end
Freezing and unfreezing the hero when going into the sword loading state effectively disables that state, which is what I want. (In my game the sword is limited)
