Groups?

[booboomc21]

Is there a certain order the groups need to be in?  like does Stance have to be group 0 or can it be 2 or whatever? Im in the process of building my character and i want to make sure im doing right before i go to far. Right now im just chagnging the group number as i import new sprite moves.
Also, do you use any type of box for your guard like collision, or whatever? or do you just leave it blank?
THanks

This should be posted in the Dev Help section, just so you know  .

You can number them anyway you want, as long as you can understand it. Group no 4850, spr no. 1; 4850, 2; 4850, 3; or 99220, 1; 99220, 2; it doesn't matter.

And yes, you need to add collision boxes for your guard sprites. You need collision boxes for every action-oriented sprite, unless its for something like an intro (where it really isn't necessary).

You might want to check winanne's ai code though> I used P.O.T.S creations as a bass so I didn't really look to hard into this but I think that certain states need to be certain #s I know that this really doesnt have much to do with the groups but it something you need to look into to make your char compatible with others. Although I haven't looked to hard into it myself so I may just be talking out my ass.

read spr.txt and air.txt whiel a lot of those are suggestions, the required sprites are a must (in spr.gif) and it's good to follow the recomended numbers so it becomes easier to fix errors.
