Tails or Knuckles skin replace?

[its a small world]

Is there a way to change Tails and Knuckles sprites in a custom wad? Like overwrite the default ones? I know how to do it with Sonic, but I want to do Tails/Knuckles too. Also would lua be needed? How would I do it if I needed lua?

Technically you can't replace Tails or Knux's sprites, but you can auto change their skin through lua using R_SetPlayerSkin.

if(player.mo.skin == "tails")
                R_SetPlayerSkin(player, "tailscd")
            end

you can't replace Tails or Knux's sprites

freeslot("SPR_TAI2")

if (player.mo.skin == "tails")
        player.mo.sprite = SPR_TAI2         
end

if (player.mo.skin ~= "tails")
and (player.mo.sprite == SPR_TAI2)       
        player.mo.sprite = SPR_PLAY   
end

What you mean?

Yeah um... that doesn't actually work.

            end

            if (player.mo.skin ~= "tails")
            and (player.mo.sprite == SPR_TAI2)
                player.mo.sprite = SPR_PLAY
            end
        end
    end)

I got that too Duon. except I think it has something to do with MAINCFG maybe?

SPR_TAI2 needs to be the new sprites (that replaces Tails'), obviously.

I'm still not getting it... Example wad? Do I need to call the sprite SPR_TAI2?

Not necessarily SPR_TAI2, anything you want, but you'll need to change the SPR_TAI2 in the code to the name you gave.
