I have tried to edit 'flare sword' to 'sword of the eternal flame'. Now it shoots a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE flame straight forward. The whole sword is in flames and my friend said it is really good, but there's a problem: When you grab it, it damages you at the time you grab it and you start burning. Does anyone know how I could make it so it won't burn the player?

I only copied from other scripts and then edited them...

I see a IfGrabbed function. But I will need to see the script.

I can't understand it without the spaces, can you use the code tags?

It's on the 2.38 DEV package's [XWEP] folder.

It may be that the cool fire effects were a random circumstance, just like you getting burned or flames not spawning.

He means that the cool effect you got earlier happened randomly, you got a different one each time, depending on what you were doing when they occurred.

Now I am pretty sure why it burns! Mr. Green

It is because I copied the Daemon lord's flame ring around it. It is a ring of fire, so could there be any other way to make... WAIT!!! IT'S GOOD PENALTY OR WHATEVER TO BURN THE PLAYER, BECAUSE ITS GREAT POWER!!! Right? Every greatest weapons have to have a bad side, right? Razz
