Blockpain issue

Hi,
I ported my project to Version 4.0 (Build 7556), and for some reason blockpain stopped working like it did in Version 3.0.
I'm not using any script for blocking, only the default engine functions.

I made sure each enemy attack does at least 10 damage, the chip damage to the MP bar works as it should.
It just never changes into blockpain animation, no matter what.
I tried every block-related option listed in the wiki, tried numerous values, to no avail.
Is there something else that needs to be declared in Version 4 for this to work correctly?

There are no known changes in compatibility between 3 and 4 for blockpain, at all.

Before we go any further, let's make sure you are using Blockpain as intended. The legacy manual severely misinterprets blockpain as if the entity is failing a block or getting block crushed, but that's not even close to what blockpain is. We have a guardbreak animation for that. Blockpain is just an impact animation to make your blocking look more dynamic, similar to Fatal Fury and King of Fighters.

Without seeing the rest of your models I couldn't really say what your issue is. You might need to post the rest for us to have a look. In the meantime, here's the full documentation on Blocking. It might help.

Thank you DC for your quick reply.
I read the full documentation before posting, and tried for about 2 hours to get it working again.
What puzzles me most is that it worked with build 7123 and even 6412 using the exact same code.
I am aware that blockpain is just some visual feature and not the same as guardbreak.

I trimmed it down to all the relevant parts (I hope) of this mechanic to make it easier for you to read.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thank you!

I'm facing the same issues that you are, still trying to get the hang of the new documentation and block_config, so I'm a bit lost if it's a engine issue or am I just being dumb.
