Hmm, Not sure that would be easily done.

I will have to mess with the HUD and the Gunspec and Flak file to see if that can be achieved.
Not sure I can have the Flak part (fireBall) without the weapon (staff).

But I have seen some users make things with the fireball in third person view.
So let me see what I can find out.

Unfortunately, the video I made for invisible RPG is corrupt (typical), but the video above for the wizard staff should still work.

What's about:

Quote: "SetAttachmentVisible(e,1).

1 sets the entities attachment to be visible (such as their weapon), 0 switches it off"

also bored of the rings. I tried that but it only works when you can select a weapon. I tried removing staff and only having hidden staff in there but then my character has no movement animations.

nice idea but unfortunately you need the weapon(s) to be visible for them to actually fire so the best you can do is hide it the rest of the time and show it very briefly when the player left clicks - this also applies to AI characters where you need to quickly show any hidden weapons to let them fire.

@maverick if you want to test for yourself set the attached script to the wizard before you place him onto the start marker

Nice work smallg ...Works well

@Maverick ... Place the wizard on the map ...select properties and attach the new Lua script ..

Place a start Marker ..... Then select the wizard on the map.... click " extract" .... Then you can place him on the marker

the invisible staff should be added to the FPE (unless you already did this) e.g hasweapon = fantasy\hiddenstaff, pics below: -

[update-I tested out on my system, works fine-see fireball pic]

once the process in the first video is done and the FPE updated it should work

If it works with LUA scripting that is much better, the vid I did was way back in July 2015 (not sure if it was possible with the version of GG at that time, but I could be wrong), well done though. Glad you can get back on with your game

I tested the script and works, the only slight thing is that the staff does flash up on screen occasionally for a split second.
