well, dr-lightning is a lightning gfx that, when the weapon is fired, seams to strike the ground, however, when around a baddie, it only shows the top of the gfx, and the lighning doesn't strike, unless you hurt the baddie. There's something in the script that 'pauses' it untill the baddie's hurt:here's a basic script of a baddie, and a better looking version of my script for the lightning:
lightning:

if(isweapon&&weaponfired&&playermp>4||isweapon&&mo usedown&&playermp>4){
disabledefmovement;
showimg 300,dr-crosshairs.png,mousex-.5,mousey-.35;
set shooting;
timeout=.05;
}
if(isweapon && shooting && timeout){
replaceani idle,grab;
setani grab,;
showimg 300,dr-crosshairs.png,mousex-.5,mousey-.35;
timeout=.05;
}
if(shooting&&keypressed&&strequals(#p(1),A)){
unset shooting;
hideimg 300;
enabledefmovement;
replaceani idle,idle;
setani idle,;
}
if(strequals(#w,Lightning 2)&&shooting && mousedown && leftmousebutton){
