How do I spriter?

[rons0n]

So to be brief, I wanted to use the Houndius Shootius projectile as my new characters staff attack but the problem is that the projectile is set way to high!(Obviously so it can accommodate the eyeturret build).

 

I thought it'd be like my other item where all I had to do is tweak the numbers in notepad++ but this is different. It has frames, so I have to make sure all the frames are lowered.

 

Well I tried to do it one-by-one and adjusting the each frame by eye..but you can guess that went horribly wrong.

 

Is there an alternate way to do this? I just want to lower all the frames so it doesn't look like my character is casting something above her head.

I am currently developing a tool for this, but it has a little ways to go.  However, it's far along enough that if you send me the scml file I should be able to process it for ya.  Just tell me which sprite and by how much.

@Corrosive, Thanks for helping me out! Provided is the eye-turret projectile I want to change.

 

I don't know how to specify in all honestly, but just going by eye, I think putting all the objects right at the center where all four lines intersect(In Spriter) would probably be the best.

 

Much appreciated if you can do it!

@rons0n,

 

I'm late for a meeting so I have to run for a bit but I'll be on later if you need it changed more

 

renamed so it doesn't override your current scml but you can just rename it back if you want to keep this version

@Corrosive, Ah! This is wonderful! Her new projectile now looks more dangerous than her last one!

 

But can I request just a teensy bit higher? Right now the projectile glides along the floor, so its on footlevel of the character. Can you place it where it would appear near the upper torso level of the character?

 

Thank you very much! I hope the tool that your developing comes out soon as it takes away the stress from eyeballing everything.

@rons0n,

 

sure thing, but can you give me a ballpark estimate? O.o

 

pop open the last version and move the shadow sprite to be the height you want, then tell me the Y position

[rons0n]

@Corrosive

 

Picture provided should have what I want visually and also the Y position of the 'ball' sprite.

@rons0n,

 

oh, by "shadow" I meant "glow" -- apologies!

 

 

All I needed to know was how far any one element was moved up so I could extrapolate how far all elements need to move up   Will do it now.

 

edit: here ya go
