Could you show one of your chains of weapon effects?

What he means is that you do this.

Weapon 1
#secondaryeffect 2

Weapon 2
#secondaryeffect 3

Weapon 3
#secondaryeffect 4

Weapon 4

This would create a weapon that strikes someone, does the damage/status from 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. So you could hit someone, do damage, knock off their armor, poison them, and slime them.

I think you need to be careful about the order though. I think damage always has to be dealt by the current weapon in the chain for it to call the next weapon.

No.

#explsprites (the effect that takes place when the weapon strikes on the square where it strikes) are the same for both weapons and spells.

Only spells can use the spell #flightsprites and only weapons can use weapon #flysprites. At least I think that's how it goes. I've tried spells using flysprites but not the other way around.

For your information, the mapped flightsprites and explsprites can be found herein:

Thanks for the help on the sprites. I have a nice vomity effect now.

I was curious about something though.

I gave a commander 4 hands, and 3 misc slots. That worked fine. Then I gave him four weapons. I figured the weapons would be "held" in those hands.

Then I forged him a couple of 1 handed weapon. If I only equip one, however, he immediately loses all four of the normal attacks.

Is there a way to get around this, so that the attacks only disappear one at a time (or two at a time if a two handed weapon is equipped?)?

Weapon flysprites are mapped and in the DB, courtesy of lch. Spell flightsprites and explsprites are not fully mapped. Those are listed somewhere on the forum.

I did sound effects, but nothing with sprites except extracting them. I don't think that qualifies as "mapping", though. Burnsaber did work on this, as far as I know.

Not to my knowledge. It always happens with the Nataraja and other four-armed pretenders.

No but you can change it, by defining new weapons and or declaring them bonus..

Thanks for the correction. Yes, you did indeed do the sound effects. Saulot did the weapon flysprites and Burnsaber has been mapping the spell flightsprites and explosion sprites on the forum.

Perhaps you missed the thread, but I have already mapped the explsprites and flightsprites. See the link below.
