Ok i have learnt a lot, but i just cannot figure this out.
Ok my animation for my Character has a sword which swings (using max studios)
Ok now i want to collide this with the enemy.
if object collision.........

But hold on, that's when the character runs straight up to it.
How do i make sure that the sword has to hit the enemy....
This is just 1 question i cannot answer

My game will make sure Final Fantasy will never be forgotten.
Remember me because my game will be in the shops in a year or 2.

Make your sword as a seperate model, then use the 'glue object to limb' command to attach it to your characters arm. That way you can identify the sword with a different object number than your model!

IS there an easy way, i mean like can i have instead of glue the objects, is there a way to have an animation played in order to collidie.

For eaxample, you collide with the enemy, but a certain animation must be played in order to deal damage.

Also if i was to glue the object to another, how do i make the sword move when the character does?

If you glue the object, it will move with the character. As for colliding, I think the only way is to glue it, it isnt that hard.

Hmm, Glueing is the easy way,.... and it will make your sword move automatically with your character, hence 'Glue'!

Wouldn't you only be checking for sword collision when you hit an attack button and played your animation anyway?

So basically your saying i have a character......now i glue a sword to it (no idea how to place it on it's hand)
And when the character moves, the sword moves with it.
So when i have something like collision, you would have the collision between the character sword and the enemy like:

If object collision (character sword,enemy)
...............and so on

Starting to understand, so basically i dont need an animation for the sword do i, i just need the animation for the hand to move up then down (just imagen that the sword is there)

But if my character is walking/running i dont need the glue object because i can have the sword on the back when running.....right?
But if the character is standing still i will need to have the glue object

My game will make sure Final Fantasy will never be forgotten.
