Check out the command add_item() and add_magic() which require a script and references to a graphic sequence and frame number. Make sure you've written a dink.ini load graphics line for your new grapics.

How?

dink.ini is the file that loads graphics in your DMOD directory to add a sprite that moves you do something like this:

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp1- 881 75 59 45 -38 -23 40 34

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp3- 883 75 60 47 -47 -30 41 32

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp5- 885 75 60 47 -47 -30 41 32

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp7- 887 75 59 44 -38 -19 43 36

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp9- 889 75 60 43 -50 -19 43 36

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp2- 872 75 60 60 -38 -33 40 13

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp4- 874 75 75 72 -47 -48 41 10

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp6- 876 75 59 72 -43 -47 43 4

load_sequence graphics\blscrp\blcp8- 878 75 60 67 -50 -37 43 6

set_frame_special 872 5 1

set_frame_special 874 5 1

set_frame_special 876 5 1

set_frame_special 878 5 1

These commands look graphics labelled blcp1-**.bmp into sequence 881. Check out the dink.ini editing guide by Gary Hertel, for a detailed explanation.
