Need help with action point

[Cryonaut]

Hey everyone,

I need some help with setting an action point in MMF2 Developer. I am trying to have a character shoot a fireball out of his hand. I have it set up perfectly, but when the fireball is shot, it is shot out above the character. My issue is, wherever I move the action spot on the character's "Shooting" animation, the fireball comes out the same place, above the character. I am trying to have the fireball shoot directly out of the character's hand, but I can't seem to figure out how. How can I fix this?

Thanks for the help!

Is the hot spot of the fireball object set correctly? It'll be created so that its hot spot lines up with the action point of the player object.

In case you haven't done any of this:

The created object will shoot out of the base object's hotspot by default. This means that changing the action point will have no effect. In the dialog asking for where to create/launch the object from, press the big "Options" button at the bottom. Under "Originating From" select "Action Point."

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice, I was able to get my issue resolved. I had to change the hotspot on the fireball to get the result I wanted.

Thanks again for the help!
