HI,i know there are tutorials about this but i dont get it at all, so can someone help mi please.

i want to add a action for mi ParaDrop to work

call me fool or wethever u want but where do i place the following things

Quote:

First, create the following list section:

[MouseCursors]
NewPara=259,10,4,516,-1,12345,12345 ;example
The list works like this:

NewActionName=[StartFrame],[NumberOfFrames],[AnimationInterval],[MinimapFrame],[MinimapNumberOfFrames],[HotSpotX],[HotSpotY]

Maximum length of NewActionName is 32 chars.HotSpotX and HotSpotY can be "0", "12345", "54321".HotSpotX:
0 - Left
12345 - Center
54321 - Right

HotSpotY:
0 - Top
12345 - Center
54321 - Bottom

Action=NewPara ;simply the name of a mouse pointer declared in [MouseCursors]

A short explanation

259,10,4,516,-1,12345,12345

256 1: this is the frame your action starts at

10 2: how many animation frames it goes for

-4 3: I think this is the speed of it

516 4: the start frame if you aim your SW on the mini map

-1 5: number of frames for this action

12345 6 & 7: this is just to keep the targeting correctly aimed

extract the MOUSE.sha file and look through it on SHP editor helps work out what you want for your animation also helps for adding custom frames

Oh yea forgot bout that part

a action can only be used once so you'd need to add a new entry for each SW

NP/RP need this also for any SW to work

[MouseCursors]
TankDrop=259,10,235,4,-1,12345,12345
AirstrikeSpecial=481,8,4,351,-1,12345,12345
Bombing=121,9,4,73,-1,12345,12345
Laser=90,9,4,110,9,-1,12345
Upgrade=210,4,4,435,1,-1,12345
DropPod=192,8,4,74,3,-1,12345
FireAtAction=19,1,4,514,-1,-1,12345
Demotruckweapon=79,8,4,44,-1,12345,12345
Spyweapon=200,1,4,516,-1,12345,12345
Medicweapon=356,1,4,434,-1,12345,12345

just add that anywhere in the RulesMD ini I would put it somewhere in [General] though for organization or just right at the bottom of the file

You need Type=NewParaDrop like the comment says.

Also, if you know your English is weak, why not try and improve it instead of just asking to be given answers?
