Electrostaff effect?

Syth · Post by **Syth** » Tue Nov 21, 2006 8:27 pm

is there anyone that knows how to make the electrostaff look electrical?
i think maybe pengiun got it something working but i have no clue what to do. so if someone could tell what can be done and what cannt be done with it that would be most helpful.

Well, why don't you just PM Penguin or Teancum? They did electrostaffs as you prolly already know

PMs take forever to get an answer from. and also if someone else has the same question they can find the answer in the forums instead of also having to ask too

I think you just add a TrailEffect on the Staff and add some lightning to it.
