Fireball Skill

The Fireball Skill is a free Superbullet library. The player holds a key to charge a fireball, lets go to throw it, and it explodes where it lands, leaving a crater and rocks behind. It's the biggest install of the free libraries so far: it brings three other systems with it and has one animation to upload.

What It Adds

The numbers are the library's defaults, from its settings files. It also adds a SKILL TESTER panel and two test dummies, which you remove before publishing (see Before You Publish).

What You Should See

In Superbullet, the AI ends with how to unlock and equip the skill in code, a few notes, and an offer to do more (give players the fireball automatically, clean up the test parts, fix the cast animation ID).

Each of those offers is another AI task, so it uses tokens. You don't need any of them to try the fireball.

Try It in a Playtest

New players don't have the fireball yet. The SKILL TESTER lets you give it to yourself. Click Play in Studio, then:

1. Unlock the Fireball

   The SKILL TESTER opens by itself, with Fireball marked Locked. Click Fireball to unlock it.

   

   I've done this step: Unlock the Fireball

2. Equip the Fireball

   It now says Unlocked. Click it again to equip it.

   

   I've done this step: Equip the Fireball

3. Put It in Slot 1

   Equip: Fireball asks for a slot. Click Slot 1, which is the Q key.

   

   I've done this step: Put It in Slot 1

4. Charge and Throw It

   The Fireball appears in your skill bar with Q on it. Close the tester with its red ×, face an open space, then hold Q. A CHARGING bar fills; let go to throw. The fireball explodes where it lands and Q shows the cooldown counting down, as in the pictures at the top.

   

   I've done this step: Charge and Throw It

The round button above the gear at the bottom right opens the SKILL TESTER again.

Before You Publish

The test parts are for you, not your players. The library's own guides in ReplicatedStorage › SharedSource › Datas › SkillRegistry › Documentations explain how to remove them:

• Delete-NPC-Tester: delete the two test dummies (SkillTester_Rig and MultipleRig_1 in Workspace › HealthEntities › NPCs) and ServerScriptService › FireballNPCController.
• Skill-Tester-Removal-Guide: remove the SKILL TESTER panel and its button.

Change How It Feels

The fireball's settings are in ReplicatedStorage › SharedSource › Datas › SkillRegistry › Categories › MagicSkills › SubCategories › Fire:

The keys for the four skill slots (Q, E, R, F) are in Datas › GameSettings › SkillSettings. The simplest way to change any of these is to ask in chat, for example Make the fireball recharge in 5 seconds.

• Give players pets to collect: Pet System.
• Fire Burst Skill and Lightning Beams came up in the same search. Add them the same way.
