24 January 2006 00:04 (UK time) Guys, when an object is destroyed, whats the best trick to make an explosion over the dead sprite? I already know that you can create an explosion directly in a sprite's frame and have the last frame on -1, but is there anything more crafty? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

Or you could have the object explode when it dies, and drop 3-7 extra explosion objects which are killed by its explosion, and then they explode also. If the object is mission critical, its always fun to throw in a cutscene, but beware: cutscenes DO NOT play in mp/coop games. You need to login to create posts in this thread.
