Help on respawning objects

Do you mean in general? I just looked in my hack and no, he doesn't load the dust. I never noticed that, I will look into that tomorrow and will get back to you.


EDIT: Just noticed MainMemory's post. I will have a look tomorrow, cheers, mate.


EDIT2: Tried MM's idea and it didn't quite work with me but probably the way SMTP and I ported Knuckles in but it is in the right area. Here is how I go it to work:



; loc_1DE4A:
Obj08_CheckSkid:


movea.w parent(a0),a2 ; a2=character


cmpi.b #$D,anim(a2) ; SonAni_Stop


beq.s Obj08_SkidDust


cmpi.w #$3,($FFFFFF72).w ;is it knux alone?


beq.s knuxskidcheck


cmpi.w #$4,($FFFFFF72).w ;is it knux&tails?


bne.s +


knuxskidcheck:


cmpi.b #$20,anim(a2) ; Knux sliding?


beq.s Obj08_SkidDust


+


move.b #2,routine(a0)


move.b #0,objoff_32(a0)

I had to do a different check as comparing his object ID didn't work for some reason, and I had to edit the position and tweak with it to get it right, but now, he does make dust when sliding from giding.
