Range attack is using melee attack animation

[Enderlook]

I don't know why but my Healer Saurian moves toward the enemy when he use his range attack.

He has two attack, melee and range:

Code: Select all

    [attack]
        name=staff
        description= _ "staff"
        icon="attacks/staff-magic.png"
        type=impact
        range=melee
        damage=4
        number=2
    [/attack]
    [attack]
        name=missile
        description=_"missile"
        icon=attacks/magic-missile.png
        type=fire
        range=ranged
        [specials]
            {WEAPON_SPECIAL_MAGICAL}
        [/specials]
        damage=6
        number=2
    [/attack]

Also he has two animations:

Code: Select all

[attack_anim]
        [filter_attack]
            name=staff
        [/filter_attack]
        offset=0.0~0.3,0.3~0.45,0.45~0.3,0.3~0.0
        start_time=-250

        [/frame]
        [if]
            hits=yes
            [frame]
                duration=100

                sound=staff.wav
            [/frame]
        [/if]
        [else]
            hits=no
            [frame]

        [/frame]
    [/attack_anim]

I am not sure why I am having this error. Could someone please help me?

[ForestDragon]

you can put "offset=0" inside [frame]s in the ranged animation.

[Enderlook]

Thanks it works. So [frame] has already a default offset?

yes. though If there is a [missile_frame] present, the default offset is 0 (offset= value in [frame] still has the higher priority for the animation, though)

[Enderlook]

Ok, thanks.
