A new spell.
Posted by Skyal on 09/26/01 - 09:45:28
Could someone help me to make a new spell. I tried to make it but no... I t should be like this.



When you use your magic Dink stops and says the magic words. After that Dink launches a hellfire ball to north, south, west, east, south-west, south-east etc. to all directions. How should I really make it?



-Skyal (making DMOD called Temple of Light) :)



PS. Your new ideas are welcome!! :)

Don't you think that's a little bit too powerful? ;)



Anyway, I had the exact script you need. I have written a script for launching 8 fireballs in all directions for my upcoming DMOD. I don't mind sharing with you. (I even modified it so that it would indeed cast 8 hellfires. You can change the strength and range so that this magic will not be so powerful, or not. :p You can also change anything you want. You will see a lot of smiles like ;) since the message board woudl take ) and ; backwards...

Note for the script
Posted by mimifish on 09/26/01 - 12:01:27
I forgot to mention that in the script &xdink and &ydink are two global variables I used exclusively for Dink's x, y coordinates. I found them very handy and won't get conflict with &save_x and &save_y, which are usually used for making bonus.
