problem with a new creature

[Aezeal]

ow man this is totally ridiculous.. that command has some serious issues

fun to try it all but a bit frustrating it never does as you expect

I reorganised the order in which the units I used to cycle through where in the file
(so I wanted to go a --> b --> c --> d --> e --> f --> and if I did that it would just go a --> f --> a)
now I let them keep the same orders but put the units in the file
a
f
e
d
c
b
a
what it does then it lets you go backward just like they are in these
so yo start with a --> f --> e --> d --> c --> b --> a and then --> b --> a
while a actually DOESN"T link to f at all,, and F not to e etc etc etc. very strange.)

Amos, yes I can get it to go back and forth between the last 2 of the list, and I guess I could also just use the #firstshape command like I said above.. but the Jotun Skratti works.. why can't we get it to work as it should?

[Edratman]

Glad you were able to resolve the issue.

[Edratman]

Damn, my reply looks dopey now. When I posted it, the last post was Aezeals post saying he got the sprites to work. And I cannot even edit it out anymore.

[Aezeal]

well it's not completely solved.. the firstshape solution is really not ideal.. though it'll work I guess..

I tried a whole lot of options last hour but none give the desired result

[HoneyBadger]

Keep me posted!

[Aezeal]

Well this is it.. I've tried everything I could think of so far and I'm using firstshape to get back to my first shape. It's the best I could get.

so
creature A
#shapeshift B

creature B
#shapeshift C

creature C
#shapeshift D

creature D
#firstshape A

[HoneyBadger]

That's not so bad...
