Column A - Move Name

Any names can be used here. This is only used for identification.

Column B - Start Fire Time

Column C - End Fire Time

Column D - Combo follow on time

Right after the first attack, the next attack will be the next move in the list within the group. Successive attacks (mashing attack button) will no longer follow the list until the attack is no longer successive. This was never used in the game by default.

Column E - Strike Radius

The effective distance to do damage. Can also affect victims behind you.

Column G - Hit Level

G - ground; feet, but can glitch the animation of the victim if the victim is standing.

L - low; attack the stomach.

M - mid; attack the face.

H - high; unlike to its name, this will automatically select which hit level to use based on the animation.

N - none; does no damage

Column H - Animation Name

The name of the animation to use from the ped.ifp file. Any animation should work and do damage as long as the animation is loaded and the animation can reach the victim. You can use default as the name to use default animations.

Column I - Damage

The higher the damage, the more health the victim loses and, if the victim's health is low enough, the father the victim flies into the air.

Column J - Flags
