Fire Rod

[ZoriaRPG]

Ok let's begin...

First, still had a couple of minor errors but was easy to fix (one spelling error and two instances of Right direction instruction, I changed the first one to a Left and that fixed the graphic issue with the projectile).

During test, the bolt is appear just behind Link before flying forward. This is only visible when firing Left and Right.

This is because the first instance was supposed to be RIGHT, and the last, is LEFT. When you edited them, you accidentally transposed the offsets. Either flip the instances of flame->X += 16 and flame->X -= 16, or flip DIR_LEFT with DIR_RIGHT.

if ( Link->Dir == DIR_LEFT ) {
			flame->Flip = ROT_CCW;
			flame->X -= 16;
		}
		if ( Link->Dir == DIR_RIGHT ) {
			flame->Flip = ROT_CW;
			flame->X += 16;
		}

Would still like to see an actual weapon held out when used, but I figured out how to do that with my earlier attempt. Is there an easier way to do it in 2.53?

The script already calls Link->Action = LA_ATTACKING. Is it not doing that, or did you want to see a physical wand item in his hands? That is relatively easy to add as a second lweapon, that uses a LW_SPARKLE type, and a sprite with the correct number of animation frames. The position of the fireball would need to be offset based on the LW_SPARKLE weapon as well.

I'll add that in, when I have a chance.

[The slightly modded code follows... only error corrected for now. Not sure what I would need to change to get the bolt to look right on the left/right firing, or if that can even be fixed at this stage.

Fair enough. I will look at a diff, and see what you changed.
