New attack

[fire power]

Ok I am busy creating a char with the name lava (need better name) but anyway I wanna
create an attack where the char jumps up realy high and shoots a giant
energy ball South west (didn't know how to explain it ) I know how to do the jump frames and to create the ball that I know but to let it travel in the direction I want I don't know

and one last thing here is the face pic of my char is there already such a char ( but I realy recoulored the sprites myself but that colours on him seem so familiar )

sorry for this newbie question

There are plenty of characters like that. But I don't think anybody used that specific color scheme.. I would go for better looking sprites though.

For the movement of the ball, you have to change the dvx and dvy, is that what you mean?

I know the sprits aren't that good I just wanna be good at DC and
yes that is what I mean I want to let the ball travel left or right down

And while I am at it how do I change the size of the ball

Change the sprites and the xywh values of bdy/itrs.

dvx and dvy are the key. put these numbers at your frame start. (note the gravitation, so you won't go at the exact speed)
right+down= dvx: x dvy: y
left+down= dvx: -x dvy: y
right+up= dvx: x dvy -y
left+up= dvx: -x dvy: -y
so take x&y as your random numbers and you should be fine...
Read mainsite (!!!!!) to solve such problems, man.


Also, I totally recommend you to use at least some punctuation - it's hard to follow your thoughts...
