[solved] Using z pos in a move?

[GentleSlayer]

Thanks for your help! I have school for now so i'll test these later :P

I've tried using hit_j before but for some reason the balls were falling for a short while in the z-axis then they were going into a straight line.
The multiple facing idea looks interesting, I didn't think of that, but I'll start with Nyamaiku's method and see what I can achieve :D


Edit: I've created the chasing balls and they work properly, except when I try to opoint them, the game crashes.
To fix that, I added a frame that loops on itself (the moving in a straight line ball) and opoints another frame that will go back to the flying frames.

DC-Code: <frame> 70 start pic: 0 state: 3005 wait: 5 next: 70 dvx: 5 dvy: 550 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 10 hit_d: 100 hit_j: 0 opoint: kind: 1 x: 6 y: 16 action: 71 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 oid: 271 facing: 0 opoint_end: <frame_end>   <frame> 71 start pic: 8 state: 3005 wait: 10 next: 999 dvx: 5 dvy: 550 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 <frame_end>

And here are the flying frames:

DC-Code: <frame> 0 flying pic: 0 state: 3000 wait: 0 next: 1 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 3 <frame_end>   <frame> 1 flying pic: 0 state: 3000 wait: 0 next: 2 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 7 <frame_end>   <frame> 2 flying pic: 0 state: 3000 wait: 0 next: 3 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 7 <frame_end>   <frame> 3 flying pic: 0 state: 3000 wait: 0 next: 0 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 8 centery: 16 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 7 <frame_end>

However I don't understand the 3rd and 4th step of your method, the main ball is already moving in a straight line, why the dvz:550? Does step 4 mean that i need to create another .dat file? if so, how does it attach to the current attack?
That said, I can't do the 5th step :P
