flame bomb! :P
 

actually its a flame in a bottle...
i have made the weapon (bomb) in stepst, this are they.
1-4 the bomb spins
5 the glass brokes
6 there comes an explosion
7 there comes fire
8-13 the fire gets smaller and smaller
the fire is away.
i was thinking about that the fire must stay a few seconds on the ground so that people walk in to it so they get burnd,
i was thinking about 5 to 10 seconds or somethin.

Well, that fire sucks, try again.
The bomb is too small, and isn't very impressive looking.

Hahaha, man thats priceless, seriously. Okay erm. Well lets see. I think its a really good idea, but your GFX aren't really.. Zone like. Erm, this is hard to say without being mean, maybe you should try a diferent Dev possition, or find a very pacient teacher to help you with .. Pretty much everything lol. All the best! <3

It's patient.
Also, to say it simply, your GFX isn't very good, learn more and come back, or quit.

looks like a spanner, LIKE YOU YOU SPANNER!

i made it only for the idea now, and i will work on the gfx.
my 1st immage of the bomb made i to show how its going to look like.
ok lets see.. how is this?
i have putted some more orange in the flames and changed the broken bottle.

Not even remotely.

Want molotovs! :o

Perdy.

Why not make a molotov? Ironic since I got that thread closed :(

how is this?

A bit thinner bottle and maybe add no flame to flame at the beggining for the molotov action. Maybe also change the flame some too!

The flame is just awful.

ok, good advise with the botlle.

We already have a flame GFX?

not a molotov flame gfx and we don't want to throw a chalk bomb at them :\

Just edit cause we're lazy.

but chalk bombs can't blow up x_x

how is this for the flame then?

more flame less chalk. Make it look just like a particle effect.

You can't GFX a particle effect unless you are God.

setvampiresnickto 3 quarters god. :D welll just something that looks like actual fire then.

how is this?

ok, what does need to be changed?
should i use the flame i just made? :)

more flamy it needs to look unpredictable. ;)

how is this?

even more unpredicitable and darker flame

i would do my best.

Start by making an outline.
Next try finding other peoples examples of fire that have been made, learn from it.

ok,
btw the flame has a outline.

Maybe this will help ya a little bit?
It's not AMAZING, but it's the general idea.

thanks smirt!

how to make it move?

I made a little tutorial using a program called "Unfreez" awhile back:

You probably shouldn't worry too much about it, because most likely your flame image would be put into a GANI and you should most likely put the images in a sprite sheet (see below for an example).

Then using the technique above, I animated it.

We can probably reuse the existing fire effect, but the bottle gfx should be improved

can we get a new flame gfx the current one looks like chalk..

i have one problem with ur tutorial, how to make a file .gif?
i cant do that with paint

yes you can. When you hit save as look down and it will say png or bitmap or something and change it to gif i think.

oh ye i see,
but how to put the gif file in the unFREEz thing?

try clicking and dragging if not there may be another way to select I can't see from the screenshot
