Scripting Baddies

[jake13jake]

I've been trying to make original baddy scripts for Classic, and I though that a good way would be to make ganis for them. However, I've been having loads of trouble.
1. setshape will not work on showcharacters.
a. small image sprites:
the frog baddy won't pick up a hit for me because it's too small of an image in the gani
b. large image sprites:
the tree baddy will only block a 32x32 square instead of the entire area it's on.

2. showani will not work serverside.

Anybody have some kindof advice for me? I would really appreciate it.
