Smoke Ball

[ChaoticShadow24]

Hello!

I'm looking for a specific smoke effect.

Not the kind that comes out of a chimney or furnace or anything like that.

You know how ninjas disappear in a cloud of smoke?

They throw a ball thing down and then woosh! Smoke envelopes them, and then they disappear o_o

I need something like that.

Not in battle or anything, in the overworld. I need a bunch of smoke to appear and envelop the character. You don't need to make a character ^-^ I can do that myself. Not so good with the ol' smoke pixel art though!

Please make it as fluid as possible ^-^

Thank you so much in advance! 

Oh, please make it so that the smoke comes up from the ground if you can ^-^

I shall give thee full credit!

Just wondering, have you tried playing with the animations in Ace to see if you can create what you need there? I have no idea what all is available but you might be able to combine the right graphics to create what you want.

Couldn't you also use the smoke that comes out of the chimneys characterset? (I know XP has one of those)

So chaotic - you would be happy if you had a suddenly appearing ball of smoke that faded away, about 64 by 64?


Although really, gold cloud or blast ring from here would be really incredible

These are all fantastic! I have a question though.. 

How do I use em?

They are animation sheets you import into your game and them configure into an animation and then add as an event.

This tut may explain it ok, although his rambling style is a bit wonky.

Oh thank goodness I found a better one!

Super. Be sure you note the tut I linked after that video, also.


And you can always swap the graphic in by renaming it if the file size if the same, if everything gets too hairy. =]


Good Luck on your game.
