Hello I was trying to test out an entity using the test factory and it wouldn't load. When I looked at the error log, it said it could read flash.txt I checked it out and it looked fine to me.
This is what it looks like right now
# Hit flash

name Flash
type none
shadow 0



anim idle
loop 0
delay 6
offset 36 51

First, check if the entity is known on models.txt
Also it could help if you paste the log here.

Its a flash effect, it has to be type none. I use a lot of type none entities.

Yeah, like what Die_In_Fire said, that type doesn't have to be just player and enemy. flash has to be type none. There can be other types. You can take a look at the manual regarding other types to use. Type none is used for none entities. I can use type none for other entities like cameo characters, platforms, anything none fighting characters. :) But there may be some types that are different. For example, if you use something for throwing anything like a bomb or grenade or whatever, 'pbomb' is for player types throwing stuff, while 'bomb' is for enemy types. Don't get those two mixed up.

@Powertrip Inc.: If you get error that OpenBOR can't run, check out the openborlog in the logs folder for problem.

OK i realized i made a mistake in my question. The error log said "Unable to open file 'data/chars/misc/flash.txt'" i didn't really have an issue with flash's entity type.
