tell people more, how big do you need it? 320x240?
i would help but im on vacation and all my art programs are on my home computer.....
except for paint, but im not that good at fire and smoke on paint......
i could give it a try if you don't recieve other help first

i think 480X480 will be fine, and ill just resize it if that doesnt do.
its a pretty basic game so i dont need anything fancy.
how soon do you think you can make it?

not sure if this is what you want. it does not use one BIG animation, instead uses code to create a 'ring' using many smaller animations.. ( which is sometimes faster as BIG animations can slow GE down)

the blue flame I used is a freeware gif, but if not suitable you should be able to find something similar
and you may need to play around with the code to get your desired effect.. and change the animation at some time to get smoke..

just an idea ( and not really an original one, there is code like this all over the board if you need something different)

Do ChileBombs make purple flames?
No, they don't.

See if this is something close to what you are looking for.




P.S.: If you use this in a game, all I ask is recognition for it, and registration to Makslane for Game-Editor, he deserves it.

thats good but when its created theres a big black patch that comes with the explosion, so if you could edit out all the near-black spots surrounding the animation, then that would be fantastic. in fact if you could do that, than you could probably make an animation of your name that i could put in the game as your credit!

See if these will work, less frames, but with transparency, the last frames probably not needed, but can do them if you want.
