Finite State Machine and ATTACK <-> MOVE transitions

CProrammer

So I am struggling a little with FSM. This is my prototype: https://xarcane.itch.io/test And my FSM inside the player:

Whenever I press attack button in my MOVE state, I change state to ATTACK and I am still able to jump/run. But I was checking multiple games and I can see that characters in attack state has other behawior while attack. They stop run/has combos/run slower while attack etc. I think to rewrite it and create ATTACK STATE and add multiple behawior depends on player previous state like JUMP ATTACK, RUN ATTACK, IDDLE ATTACK. But I have no experience with it, can you give me any clues or tips, I am not sure I think in the right way.

Yes, you would need multiple states, like Jump Attack, Run Attack, etc. if they have different behavior. If there is no change to behavior, then your just switch to the same state. So example, just having a Jump state but allow entering it from Idle and also Run, etc.
