Question about spells in engines - Armalyte - 04-06-2009

Does anybody know of an engine that has spells that change your sprite? Or something to that effect?

Edit: I know there are engines that have tile attributes where you can change the sprite but that's not exactly what i'm looking for. I'm looking to make a game where you can cloak/shapeshift with spells as I am really tired of the old add/sup hp/mp/sp system.

Program it in yourself?

I don't mess with MS4 so i can't tell you myself, but I'm sure there are some tutorials, or someone else around here can help.

Haha I expected as much.

I don't have much experience in VB (half a semester in high school) but i was thinking about trying it.

For a tip, take a look at how /setsprite is done--and use that code with a new spell type.

Thanks for the advice. You've convinced me to pick up a source and investigate. My biggest worry is that i won't understandthe networking code that goes on because i never learned about that stuff just a general knowledge.
