I have just started my first BS quest and I am having a problem with the animation of the boomerang. I am using BS-type animation and the boomerang will not spin when thrown. Instead it just flips.

The tiles are there (3 of them) in my tileset. I have tried to set up a frame animation sequence but that does not work.

Any help?

1) What version are you using? (V1.90, or the V1.92 Betas 104 or 163? Because I experienced similar problems with the boomerang not rotating like it is supposed to. Heck, I didn't even change the working boomerang when I changed my quest versions, and suddenly it was giving me problems.

2)Does your boomerang in the ZQuest tiles page look like this: < L V (Not separated by spaces.)? (Points Left, Lower Left, Down?) Because that is how it is supposed to look like. I honestly think that this version isn't quite done yet, but that's the definition of a beta. (or something.)

I bet it is solution 2)

Use the last 2 tiles in the animation (select the tile before the last). Do NOT mess with the animation settings!

Doing so messes with the boomerang properties for some reason. I could make the wooden boomerang fly like a magic one.

I'm using 1.90 right now because it is the only version that is easy to find on the web. I found that to be an important concern because I have difficulty tracking down the betas for friends who wish to try my levels. I have 104 on my machine, and am considering trying to use that instead, but I'd like to have 163. Where can I find it?

Yep, I sure do. :grad:

BS Animation Rule On => Causes flipping problem
BS Animation Rule Off => Works fine (But everything else is screwed up of course!)

You can get 163 in the ZCl Discussion forum. It's frozen at the top, you can't miss it.

Shouldn't this be in ZC Bug Center?

This isn't a bug. :sweat:

I bet noone read my post on how to fix it for BS animation. :sweat:
