I'm going to work on formula's and skills as I go along.... tell me what you think so far.

ffta707

Well, it can be done. I'm not entirely sure you can make the "Throw" restrict what items you can throw. Try your hand at it, and let me know how it goes.

Also, for future reference, this post belongs under this forum: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4268

I'd like to see how this turns out!

Croix

Thanks for the feed back. Any ideas of how to make throwing knives????

I'll re post this in the proper forum

ffta707

I don't think you need to re post it;).
Throwing Knives might "could" be done. I would suggest making shurikens throwing knives. I think you can change the sprite for them too.

Croix

That's a REALLY good idea!!!! Thanks for the feedback. Im working on it right now. :D

Croix

Do you know a way I can record a video that isnt using Hypercam? ITs way to laggy

ffta707

Hmm... Maybe fraps. http://www.fraps.com/. I'm not positive on how to use it, but I'm pretty sure it's really good. Hyper-cam sucks.

Also, thanks for liking my idea! XD

Shurikens and Bombs can't be equipped. You could take the sprite for them and make a ranged direct weapon for it.

Thing is, this might not be possible, seeing as you can't combine a "Throw" skillset with regular skills. It's skillset Action menu conflicts. Also, Catch probably won't be able to react 3 times, since not even Blade Grasp can do that.

Hmmmm... doesent the FAQ from Zodiac say ANYTHING is possible with ASM? :) Cant you take the formula from "Throw" and use it as a skill?

Pride

Yes, if you wanted to do that route. The formula is either the last or second to last which is Speed*WP. I'm not sure how you'd do the animations though.

Check out my ASM thread. Who doesn't like hax?

I meant renaming shurikan to throwing knife - and changing the sprite.

It should work. Though, I'm not positive if the sprite can actually be changed.

Croix

The purchase Sprite can be changed.... I can take it off of being "Throwable" Add to "Equippable" but I have to changed the animation for attacking to being thrown.... add some range to the weapon and Viola.

that should work :)

Croix

if im incorrect please notify me however

I'm taking away the "Instrument" weapon to make room for Throwing Knives.

Edit your posts, you ding-bat!

As the puppeteer pulls His strings,
The fragile doll spreads Her wings.
To dance a ballet as He directs
That is the Curse of the Marionette.

Controlled by a hand far, far above,
Forbidden to care, forbidden to love.
Forever shall She mime what She cannot know,
Until the day She loses her illusory glow.

Propped up on a stilt where wine once stood,
The Marionette is, once more, only wood.
Her glossy eyes have lost their shine,
Her silken hair, turned to twine.

What a fate awaits the poor little doll,
Who dances and runs but cannot stand at all.
And the puppeteer is applauded at the end of every show,
But the audience's joyous response the doll can never know.

I am but a doll on an endless stage,
Dancing for others whilst I slowly age.
My puppeteer sits far above,
Hiding His face behind a white glove.

And when I have aged to nothing but wood,
I will be tucked away in a closet where a doll once stood.
Then, as I gather dust and the world passes by,
I will be forgotten by the vast, blue sky.

My apologies.... Im' rather new to the entire "Forum" concept. I suppose if I was more observant I would have noticed the edit tab.

Mari

Hehe, yeah. If any time you need to add something to your post, just make it noticable.

Put something like.

EDIT: Blah blah blah

No need for apologies. All newbies triple post. I almost got banned from Zophars because of triple posting (First few weeks on forum)
