    hello I was trying to create classic shield bashing in kag by messing around with this in knight logic..

    Code:
    void onCollision(CBlob@ this, CBlob@ blob, bool solid, Vec2f normal, Vec2f point1)
    {
        //return if we didn't collide or if it's teamie
        if (blob is null || !solid || this.getTeamNum() == blob.getTeamNum())
        {
            return;
        }
    
        const bool onground = this.isOnGround();
        if (this.getShape().vellen > SHIELD_KNOCK_VELOCITY || onground)
        {
            KnightInfo@ knight;
            if (!this.get("knightInfo", @knight))
            {
                return;
            }
    
            //printf("knight.stat " + knight.state );
            if ((knight.state == KnightStates::shielddropping || knight.state == KnightStates::shielding) && (!onground) && (blob.getShape() !is null && !blob.getShape().isStatic()) && getKnocked(blob) == 0) //added KnightStates::shielding
            {
                Vec2f pos = this.getPosition();
                Vec2f vel = this.getOldVelocity();
                vel.Normalize();
    
                //printf("nor " + vel * normal );
                if (vel * normal < 0.0f && !knight_has_hit_actor(this, blob))
                {
                    ShieldVars@ shieldVars = getShieldVars(this);
                    //printf("shi " + shieldVars.direction * normal );
                    if (shieldVars.direction * normal < 0.0f)
                    {
                        knight_add_actor_limit(this, blob);
                        print("Test");
                        Vec2f force = Vec2f(shieldVars.direction.x * this.getMass(), -this.getMass()) * 3.0f; // also tried messing with this multiplier 
                       
                        this.server_Hit(blob, pos, force, 0.0f, Hitters::shield); // changed this to force to try to add more knockback
    
                        blob.AddForce(force);
                        this.AddForce(Vec2f(-force.x, force.y));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    but it still doesn't work still and is very buggy is collision and knockback.

    I have also come across this code in knightlogic.as
    Code:
    //a little push forward
    
    void pushForward(CBlob@ this, f32 normalForce, f32 pushingForce, f32 verticalForce)
    {
        f32 facing_sign = this.isFacingLeft() ? -1.0f : 1.0f ;
        bool pushing_in_facing_direction =
           (facing_sign < 0.0f && this.isKeyPressed(key_left)) ||
           (facing_sign > 0.0f && this.isKeyPressed(key_right));
        f32 force = normalForce;
    
        if (pushing_in_facing_direction)
        {
            force = pushingForce;
        }
    
        this.AddForce(Vec2f(force * facing_sign , verticalForce));
    }
    
    but I don't see it being called anywhere.


    can someone explain how classic shield bashing worked and how to reimplement it?

    I could help but I don't know what classic shield bashing was like.

    Could you explain?

    well, if i remember correctly, you use your shield in someway to knockback people. never used it myself. this was before shield skiing or whatever.

    you slightly jump forward and shield forward in the direction of the enemy (if you jump right you shield right) to stun him and knockback him quite a bit away (a few blocks)
    basically the same effect as shield sliding into someone but you need to jump, shield FORWARD and it stuns and knockbacks more
