Thanks everybody
Do you mean the inner blue ball (that the dark one said to turn lighter blue?). There all good ideas, and im gonna use every piece of help that i get ;D . And i like your draw over, i think im gonna use something like that, but one line at a time (so that in the animation, the lightning strikes one at a time if you know what i mean). And i dont think that the ball neads to be any bigger, in game at full power its too big allready. Thanks everyone for your help, and keep it coming! im listening to everyone, nomatter what you know or who you are, or how long youve been on the forums, keep it coming!
*edit* with the lightning a meant one patch at a time rather than line (like about half of your draw over) then animated, then another patch, but im gonna use a massive loop rather than the 16 (?) pictures it uses at the moment, so that its gonna be a lot harder to see where is loops.
Off topic: Can you see all of my pics, or does one say link forbidden? cos there all from the same site, so thats just wierd.... and do any model makers nead any sprites making ;D just give me a message.
*edit* the easiest way to make gif animations is to put the pictures into flash, then export the movie as a gif animation. That way it also notices that there in a sequence, and puts them all in for you, instead of one at a time.
*yet another edit* damb! there all gone now, can anyone see them by right clicking, copying the address and putting it in a new window?
