I want to build a top down game where the controls are the wasd buttons are for moving and the mouse click is for attacking. I done the codes for moving but im having trouble with the mouse click/attacking. When the mouse is clicked i want the attack animation played and while its playing i want the wasd buttons disabled. As soon as the attack is done i want it to straight away go to the movement part of the code. This is what i done so far
