Pain flash

[Thegr8test]

Is there a way to set a flash to play in a specific pain animation only? For example to have pain4 use blood flash?

You can define an empty entity as the hitflash.
Then spawn your blood spark in pain4 anim itself.

could you make an example of what you mean?

OK, I will quote myself:

You can define an empty entity as the hitflash.

Create a new entity in your game, delare it in models list.
This entity is a type "none" and will display a short "empty" animation.
The animation take its frame from an empty/transparent picture in your directory.

Then spawn your blood spark in pain4 anim itself.

Create a new blood spark just like regular flash spark anim.
Delare it in models
use it by spawing it with any moethod you like.

subentity	flashblood
spawnframe	0 0 3 8 0#{frame} {x} {z} {a} {relative}

For more details, read the manual.

yeah that's how the attack is setup already, I want a specific enemy to have a different flash when hit by attack4 for ex instead of blood flash blood2 would play for this enemy but I don't know of a way outside script perhaps to do this the manual only list noatflash and flash in the header as a solution but that would play when hit by all attacks which is not the results I want so if anyone knows how to accomplish this I would appreciate the help
