I'd like to request a script if anyone thinks they can accomplish this. A statue that shoots fireballs when Link swings his sword.
They can shoot a fireball directly at link or shoot like the ones in LTTP. I have puzzle rooms these would work great in.

Do you want the fireball to go in four directions or iin links direction? The latter would be easier since that just requires use of Angular movement and the aTan2 function.

Whichever is easier for you to do.

Both types are useful to me, so either one will work.

Okay here it is. It's pretty easy to use. Just place a ffc ontop of a solid combo. And set the arguments as such: D0 = the damage in quarter hearts, D1 = the delay in frames between link using the sword and shooting a fireball, D2 = the speed of the fireball, D3 should be set to 0 if you want it to shoot directly at link, otherwise set it to 1 for 4 way aiming., and finally D4 is the sound to play when a shot is fired.

CODE

ffc script FireballShooter{
    void run(int damage, int delay, int speed, bool fourway, int firingsound){
        while(true){
            if(attacking()){
                Waitframes(delay);
                eweapon fireball= CreateEWeaponAt(EW_FIREBALL, this->X, this->Y);
                fireball->Damage = damage;
                if(!fourway){
                    fireball->Angular = true;
                    fireball->Angle = DegtoRad(Angle(this->X,this->Y,Link->X,Link->Y));
                    fireball->Dir = RadianAngleDir8(WrapAngle(fireball->Angle));
                }
                else if(CenterLinkX() < this->X) fireball->Dir = DIR_LEFT;
                else if(CenterLinkX() >= this->X + 16) fireball->Dir = DIR_RIGHT;
                else if(CenterLinkX() < this->Y) fireball->Dir = DIR_UP;
                else if(CenterLinkX() >= this->Y + 16) fireball->Dir = DIR_DOWN;
                fireball->Step = speed;
                Game->PlaySound(firingsound);
            }
            Waitframe();
        }      
    }
    bool attacking(){
        bool slashed = false;
        int swords[4] = {I_SWORD1, I_SWORD2, I_SWORD3, I_SWORD4};
        for(int i; i < SizeOfArray(swords); i++){
            if((GetEquipmentA() == swords[i] && Link->PressA) || (GetEquipmentB() == swords[i] && Link->PressB)) slashed = true;
        }
        return(slashed);
    }
}

EDIT About the array, the number 4 should be the number of swords in the game and the intergers of the array should be the IDs of the items. It's set up so the default four swords trigger the firing of fireballs. You can change this though if you have custom swords.

Wow, this is a great script (idea)! Should the integers of the array be I_150 or just 150?

For sword with ID 150 it would be just 150, no I_ in front of it.

Think you could make an edit of the first script that shoots out 4 directional fireballs when link swings his sword, instead of just one in links general direction. In other words, when I set D3 to 1, I want it to shoot a fireball up, left, right and down at the same time, instead of just one fireball in one of those directions.
