Want to have quite a few different spells from different schools of magic also, with different effects. Now I am a complete newbie when it comes to coding, so I am wondering what the best way to do this would be? in testing I have been using a different key for each spell, which is just plain silly, what I need is to have a key for casting the spell and another to choose which spell to cast, is there an easy way for me to do this. thank you for your help and if this has been answered before please just point me to the right forum / example thanks for your time and help! (( ohh just ordered MMF2 so I will be using that program, not use if it makes a difference )) Be gentle I am a complete newbie!

Like this: * Upon pressing key: Tab - Add 1 to Counter * Counter > [total number of spells] - Set Counter to 0 * Counter == 0 * Upon pressing [fire key] - [fire spell 1] * Counter == 1 * Upon pressing [fire key] - [fire spell 2] etc. Hope this helps. n/a
