It occurs to me you'd need this graphic also. In any event, it's not gonna happen - swing, idle, walk, stab, draw, and combo1 = 6 ganis * ice, fire, weaponmagic, ghosthit, acid, poison, lifestealing, death...a bunch of effects = a metric buttload of ganis. If I could pass the coloreffect numbers in a param it'd work, but I can't, so you may as well fuhgetaboutit.

I'd do that just because I'm extremely bored. ._.

And Selzar, make an NPC offline with
if (created) {
setani human2_sword_sdfafklasg,;
}
in it. You NEED the , and ;. Mmk.

I made the zormite blade have a swing trail for 2 of its attacks (light effects). All i did was open the gani in a text editor and messed around a bit.

Y'know, Tyhm, you could just use a gani script.

If it's as easy as all that, welcome to it; however, last check there's no way short of an array of positions to match up a ganiscript showimg to a gani sprite.

Okay, but is that really so much of a chore? Assuming that you're willing to place the lights manually in GraalShop, it's a simple step to rip them out of the gani file (directly, through notepad) and plug them into a script.

Or, since most weapons are straight, you could just define a single vector - start is at the base of the blade and the end is at the tip. The system randomly or uniformly generates positions along the vector according to the specific effect wanted.

The benefit would be that it would allow particle effects too - a sword that bursts into flames or drips acid or whatever.

*shrugs* If it's so trivial, be my guest. You have the same ganis I have.

Perhaps so, but I'm a lazy guy. I was just arguing that it would in fact be easier with a script gani.
