ShadowCloneJutsu

[gettogaara]

Just wondering if its possible to make something like shadow
clone jutsu besides for making a bunch of the same character and putting them on a team???

That's the idea, yes. Put the images into an Animation frameset, then use that frameset to make a State Animation, and then create a state that uses that animation.

well I have started it and I'm messing up badly I can't seem to be able to get them in the right places at all can u post an animation link I can downlaod which I can use paint.net to use on and put the characters there

 

[Unka Josh]

Here's one from an early experimental project where I was developing the technique.

Just erase whatever ones you don't want, and put an individual image in the place of it.

Ok I made an animation set of a bunch of narutos whats the next step?Also what do I have to do to make it so that the clones don't go away until the time is up?(the sprites)

 

[Unka Josh]

As I said before, you now create a custom State. Make the State animation the animation that you just created. Make a skill that puts Naruto into that state. Poof! Clones.

 

[gettogaara]

Well I created a custom state and made the state animation that I created also I made a skill that put naruto into that state but theres no pics

 

[Unka Josh]

Is the animation not playing? What exactly is it doing? Would you mind posting some screenshots?

 

[gettogaara]

Well unfortunately it won't let me take screen shots but this is exactly whats going on. I use the skill shadowclone jutsu and all the effects happen but the clones do not appear. What I'm curious about is exactly how many frames is a good amount for this skill?

 

[Unka Josh]

Number of frames? 2-8 should be fine. A state animation cycles endlessly.

Hit alt plus Printscreen to take a screenshot. Then open your art program and hit "paste." Presto, screenshot!

 

[gettogaara]

well maybe that was the problem then I had only one frame. Well anyway I'll try to take a screenshot

 

[gettogaara]

Well I managed to take the screen shot and uploaded it on photo bucket I also mangaed to egt the narutos there but theres a problem there see through. Heres the pic

Ah, I see. Luckily, there's an easy solution here.

Go to your animation and click on Cell Batch.

Now go to the Blending section of Cell Batch. Change it to "Normal." (the default is "Add," which you don't want.)

That'll solve your problem.

When creating an animation like this, right-click on the cell, and you can change the blending to "Add" instead of "Normal" when you first create the animation.

Good news I got it just one small problem and my final problem how do I make the jutsu give multiple attacks???

 

[Unka Josh]

Uh, I answered this already, but here we go again.

If you want multiple regular attacks, you'd use a skill that calls a common event. The common event would Force Action for Naruto to Attack several times immediately.

If you want actual multiple actions, you'll need to either script things, or add new characters to the party.
