Multiple animations per skill

[Tarsus]

Is there any way to have a skill trigger more than one animation, specifically a hit animation on the target and an activate animation on the user?

I cant see a way of doing it through the editor and all my attempts are writing a script haven't worked.

You can do it by letting one animation flow (like hit the enemy target then call common event that does something (lie show animation on your character).

Did you tried that?

Your question looks like that one, but not for multi hits but for multi animation:

Can you call common events from within a battle skill?

Plus that would play them in the wrong order.

Yes.

No animation at all then, but call a common event that shows both in the right order.

Yeh I noticed that after reading that link.

I'm going to need to create a lot of common events. Surely there's a better way of just queuing up animations, I've seen loads of battle systems that show both a cast and hit animation.

Of course.

But you will have to use at least one script for that.

So you can go to the script threads and ask there too.
