So, I've created a fireball spell in my game. But something starnge happens. This thing has happened in every D-Mod of mine.

When I get the fireball, it works just fine. but when I try to shoot an enemy with it, it never hurts him more than 1. Usually it only hurts 0 as damage. It is really hard to get even to 1.

Even if I use cheat and put my stats up for 50, it still doesn't hurt him at all.

What should I do to get more damage with the fireball?

Thanks,
Skull

I object 
The magic stat only effects the time it takes to charge up the fireball. It doesn't effect the amount of damage it does. In the fireball script you should see a line like this:

sp_strength(&junk, 10);

Just set this value 10 to a higher value to let the fireball cause more damage.

Sounds like your fireball isn't doing as much damage as the defense of what it's hitting. AFAIK fireball does a low unchanging damage. That is most likely what's going on.
