I think this is just one of those things that we can do nothing about, but is it possible to add animations to emitters? As in, when the emitter is fired, it cycles through its sprites? It doesn't seem to work but if there's a workaround for it I'd be glad to hear it. |

Try having the emitter be the Null pixel in Base.rte/Devices/Null.bmp, then have it emit a pinned, GetsHitsbyMOs = 0 MOSParticle. |

Oh, it's Djinn! I remember your trickster mods. I have the 2 legged and 3 legged Ananse files still, if you deleted them and need them back. |

Hmm, I don't believe that will work for what I'm attempting, but I'll make do with what I have. Thanks anyhow, I'll try to release this damn thing relatively soon. |

Busily workin' on respriting both Ananse (got his frickin' web to work again) and Corvus, as well as Coyote, and also Loki, who I am quite proud of and should be neat. Gimme a shout if you want to play test em. edit: ...aaaand I see that quoting someone elses post no longer appends it to the end of your most recent post. Oh well. |

I'd really love to take a look at the ananse web-gun code. |

How many frames do you need? If its just 2-4 extra frames, all you need to is to have the emitter be the first sprite of that animation and have the rest as the flash attachable on emitter to animate the thing you need. If you need alot of frames, then use Grif's method. And also you can use the FrameRate = ?? to configure the speed of your animation. |

It doesn't seem to work but if there's a workaround for it I'd be glad to hear it. Djinn for the win. Anyway: I'm guessing you've already tried the SpriteFile = Frame000.bmp FrameCount = Number Method, and made sure it's a MOSParticle or higher? The only way I can think of is to fire something that gibs (make it gib by firing out some invisible particles or something) other things that stay pinned in place (or not, depending on what your secret project is, though physics may freak out if you try spawn things that collide with each other in one spot without turning HitsMOs and GetsHitByMOs off), each with a progressively shorter lifetime and a lower depth so you can layer the images. So like: Code: MOSR 1 Lifetime: 200 Depth: 3 MOSR 2 Lifetime: 150 Depth: 2 MOSR 3 Lifetime: 100 Depth: 1 It probably won't look THAT good, but hey... when you're desperate... Also, good to have a great modder back at DRL. We need your help. CC is extremely boring without creative mods. |
