I want to make Sorcerer's heal ball a static ball which hits the enemy and explodes. The thing is that the image of the ball does not appear. I can press the input for the attack, the char makes the corresponding moves and then an "invisible nothing" is created (shadow appears) without any effect or else. What's wrong with it ?

-Attack: data\explode_healball.dat

-Data.txt: ID 230 data\explode_healball.dat

-Sprites of the attack: sprite\youngice\exp_healball (corresponding to the explosion frames 8-22) and sprite\youngice\explode_healball (corresponding to the frames of the healing ball 0-7)

PS: oid from hit_Uj in char.dat is set ID 230. (see together with informations above)

Sorry to bother you so many times in a little period of time, but I want to make many things and sometimes I mess things up.

Hey this is a forum where everybody can ask as often as he wants as long as he don't ask all the same ...

If nobody have time you'll not get an answer and the forum software is not mad with you if you often use it

---

For the problem: please shom us the move where you use the ball within. I think it's a mistake within the char-file, not within the attack-file

This plus the code of the attack move I mentioned in the first post. (This one refers to ID 230, which in data.txt is referring to the explode_healball.dat - code shown before) !! So where am I wrong ?

Your mistake is at the action-tag: you activate the right dat.-file, but the wrong frame - there is no frame 50. Use 0 and it should work!

solved i've done it and it worked
