weapon sprite question

is there a way to make a weapon reload animation similar to duke nukem and shadow warrior, where you can have 2 different sprites, one for the weapon and one for a reloading sequence? such as a magazine dropping, then a hand holding a magazine and slapping it in? to give it more of a fluid animation? perhaps using flash or something similar?

Blood had the same thing. As far as I know it's not possible. When I made the Blood aerosol flame thrower, I had to make all the animations myself.

Use the flash state, if you're not already using it (or fancy using some inventory checks). That would make the extra graphics appear.

Flash state wont work, i think. because when you call A_GunFlash, the player sprite will jump into it's flash state.

Yes, but with inventory jumps as well, it can be done

But then you can't have a gun flash. so I'd use the inventory jumps.

No, I mean combining the flash state with inventory jumps in order to create multiple flash states. One for the gun firing, and one for the clip dropping (for example). You just A_GiveInventory the correct item before calling the flash stater, and A_TakeInventory at the end.
