Barney attacking...? I posted a topic long time ago that he should be able to "defend" himself, and you just revived the terrorist topic.

a fireball when z is pressed Wish that was still here.

ok, heres the link to the post on the practice guy attacking....its also on page 64 of the GENERAL COMMENTS & STRATEGIES forum...

man that was a pretty old post.

viper2040: yeah, that feature/bug was taken out long time ago...

but don't worry, i have OTHER plans for Barney (give it time) :biggrin:

i think i like where TmyApp is going with this. Hmm maybe Barney may have AI (artifical Intelligence)

TMy, i was just wondering WHY this feature was taken out. i mean, with it, u could have barney fire as u tried moves at different distances in order to find out how far away u have to be to avoid the shot. that way, ill be able to tell how far away i need to be to do, say, wolvies healing. AI is cool, but being able to manually test the limits could be VERY useful.

viper2040: well, i'll think about it ... :biggrin:

or maybe it could be both if Tmy Has the time. AI and manual fireballs from barney. A certain button could be use to make Barney go into AI mode and another button could be used for manual fireballs
