Ahhh
 

no one answered my npc scripting question, so i will try it here, how do i change scythe.gani so that scythe2.gif is a parameter instead the only mage it uses?

ok, open the gani and in default paramater put your image filename. then when you add a sprite, instead of putting the filename put PARAM2 in it. then make an npc that has this

setplayerprop #P2,scythe2.gif;

if you have more designs, they will replace the default image using that npc command like

setplayerprop #P2,scythe666.gif;


Thanks to TB3 for telling me how a few days/weeks ago ;)

what if the gani has the sprites built in?

humm, builtin ganis like sword, head, body uses the player's or the npcs properties for the gani
