Animation Behind Player

[Choseal]

Hi, I want to make a buff which will make a big animation behind the player, but when I make a scripted spell and use it, the animation keeps overlapping the sprite, is it possible to make the animation appear behind the player?

Thank you for your time!

That would be a scripted spell, wouldn't be hard to make but I wouldn't know how to put it all together

I think he's already working on a scripted spell, but has an animation continuously playing, but he wants that animation to draw behind the player, rather than the usual in front of the player.

Yes, exactly, it sounds easy, but I think it isn't as easy as it sounds, I personally have no idea where to start..

um..use the source, copy the scripted spell source, and change the surface to before the sprite surface.
yeah, thats hard to understand , but thats how its supposed to be done:)

But, I just want it to appear behind the player in one spell, wont that change the animation for every spell?

if you copy the scripted spell sub, and call it "scriptedspell2" then you would have 2 protypes

Sorry, but I'm just a beginner in source editing, where is it located?

Yes, I have VB6 :P
