Hello .
I'm trying to familiarize myself with ORK while creating an action rpg , some thing along the lines of "Diablo " .
As the title says , i want to stop the player's movement while casting an ability like fireball .

My player is using " Animations & Movement > Autuomatic move Animations " for movement and i added a control map with 2 keys to cast fireball (with F key) and ice arrow (G).

In battle event , i tried all the Block move options , but i still can move .
I tried the " Block player Control " Node , but then if a monster uses fireball too , my movement will be blocked !
The only thing i can think of is to add an status effect to myself to change speed .

So how should i do this the right way ?

Block Player Control is the correct event node. You need a different event for the enemy fireball.

Are you sure this is the correct way ? that doesnt seem like a good idea to me , what if i want to rotate my character while casting , or cancel casting ?

If you mean casting in regards to using the cast time of abilities, as long as you didn't enable Move While Casting in the ability's Cast Time Settings movement is blocked for the combatant.
If you're using a custom control, you currently need to check the combatant's StopMovement status manually, as this doesn't block the player controls directly, e.g. put this in front of your movement code:
if(!combatant.Status.StopMovement)
The combatant of the game object can be found like this:
Combatant combatant = ComponentHelper.GetCombatant(this.transform.root.gameObject);

If you want to block the player controls while the player is in action, set Block Player Control in the real time battle settings to Player Actions.

Thanks both of you . I actually ended up using "block player Control" node .

Now i faced another problem , My ability projectile doesnt collide with the enemy.

My projectile and ability is setup just like the "Throwing a fireball " tutorial , Sphere collider's "Is trigger" is on. projectile prefab is in the default layer .

My enemy is in the Enemy layer and has a Capsule collider (Is Trigger is off) with navemesh , and a basic "Move AI " to patrol around randomly .

Activation tags , in both "Damage Dealer" component and the " Activate Damage Dealer" node is set to " fireball"

I even checked the layer matrix , and it says layer "Default" collides with layer "Enemy" .

I cant figure out why my fireball doesnt collide with the enemy . i'll appreciate your help .

these settings work for me:

it also collides on the enemy so it doesn't go through him.

and this is my event:

with the activations tags as you already have them.

Make sure there's a rigidbody involved somewhere (either on the damage dealer or damage zone game object - or both).

I got rigidbody component in both projectile prefab and my enemy .

Thanks for pictures . if i put "Damage Dealer" to Collision Enter , and turn off " Is Trigger " , it does collide with my enemy , but it either push my enemy away or get destroyed without reducing any hp depending on the "Destroy Setting" of the "Damage Dealer " Component .

I'm really at loss , i checked and tried different things many times . but it is still the same :(
I'll try posting some pictures of my settings later .

EDIT : I recorded a video of my settings , you can see them here and hopefully tell me what i'm doing wrong . ( clicking on the link shows an empty page for me , just copy and paste the link )

I m not on my Dev PC, but try to change your collision type to Collision enter instead of Trigger enter, like in my first screenshot.

I did that before . Putting it to "Collision Enter" and disabling the "Is Trigger" of the collider , just pushed my enemy away of the projectile path without doing any damage . i nearly tested all the combination i could think of, none of them worked !

Naturally, the Collision start types only work with Is Trigger disabled, the Trigger start types only work with Is Trigger enabled. That's basic Unity physics :)

If the projectile pushes the enemy, enable Is Kinematic on the projectiles rigidbody.

Did i say otherwise ?

dlevel asked me to try that scenario with "collision enter" and i did and reported the result exactly as it happened .

And if you see the video of my setting , you would see that " Is kinematic " is enabled and hopefully see something that i missed .

And my problem still remains ...

Nah, didn't watch the video - did now ... I didn't see a Damage Zone attached to your enemy's prefab. Without it, there's no way for the damage dealer to deal damage when hitting the enemy.

Thanks gamigislove , that was exactly what i was missing , now i can damage the enemies at last :)
