Hi all, this is the first time I write in here, I want to ask maybe a dumb question, I'm making my own openbor game and I want to do a free special that need summon entities several times, I've read the openbor manual then I know it can summon once only in a group unless you wrote the script, but the problem is I don't know how to write script, so may someone can teach me how to solve this situation? Thanks and peace!

Hey, welcome to the awesome site.
There is no such thing a dumb question.
You are not alone.. I am kinda new too, but I could help you a bit based on the Bloodbane's scripts and others.
I have not made my own game yet as I've been modifying the Final Fight LNS as a learning experience, but this game is not easy lol.
I've worked on the summmons before, so I think I could help you somehow.
To be clear, so you would like to spawn different entities one after another, so that you can have multiple summons on the screen at the same, correct?
When they are spawned, do they have a lifebar or they die after their lifespan expires? Are they active moving and executing skills by their own?
Can you provide us what you have done so far?

The engine has some native solutions for that, were you can use a single line to do so:

OpenBORManual - DCEmulation

dcemulation.org dcemulation.org

This is an animationscript, so you can paste it on different frames to call more entities:

@cmd projectile 0 "nameoftheprojectile" 20 1 30 0 0 0
frame *path_to_image*
@cmd projectile 0 "nameoftheprojectile" 20 1 30 0 0 0
frame *path_to_image*
Click to expand...

you can even put more on the same frame

@cmd projectile 0 "nameoftheprojectile" 20 1 30 0 0 0
@cmd projectile 0 "nameoftheprojectile" 20 1 30 0 0 0
frame *path_to_image*

Hi, thank you for your reply.
Now my situation is, I want my character to use his super, so he will summon the super effect first, then he summons his car rush out and crash the enemies. You said you've been modifying the Final Fight LNS as a learning experience, so what I mean is exactly like Punisher use his super 2 (he kneels down and a van rush out). I try to study their scripts and commands but these are too difficult for me now.
I try to write my own commands and my character just only summon the car but no super effect, I think it may need unsummonframe to cancel the effect first?

For this, you don't really need to use summonframe. You can just use @cmd projectile as

O Ilusionista​

suggested because it will make your life easier. Just change the type "projectile" to none, it should work.
Check out my FFX Auron in FF LNS. I am currently adding demon raging skill.

Great, There are nice people with alot of experience on this site, especially Bloodbane (I greatly appreciate for his help and hard work, he has been helping me a lot lately).
Don't hesitate to ask questions whenever you are stuck.

Hi all, after using the @cmd projectile to spawn the vehicle, everything is perfect and I can spawn it in anytime, just one more little problem...why I can't spawn it when I very near the edge of screen?

hmmm, it is probably spawned off screen since you are close to the edge of the screen.
what are the values that you setup for @cmd projectile ?
When the Batmobile is spawned, how far away it is from the player?
Without looking at your Batmobile code, it is hard to know what's going on.

I forgot my batmobile offset but I set only few pixels in front of the batmobile. The @cmd projectile offset x-axis is -240 because I want it look like the batmobile is coming behind from the Batman. If I'm not near the edge of screen, everything is okay and the batmobile was spawned and running. But it's not if I near the edge, that's strange.
