CANCRUSH state keyword / Flag

You could give the actor a very high sensitivity to crush damage type and then use a Death.Crush state to get it to work. Try something like this, though I don't know if it works:

Code: Select all

ACTOR WhyNotBoth : Eldunari
{
  DamageFactor "Crush", 20.0
  //other properties
  States
  {
  //spawn code etc.

  Death.Crush: //death when crushed
    GIBS ABCD 1
    GIBS E -1
    Stop
  Death: //normal death by guns or something
    LAMP FG 1
    LAMP H -1
    Stop
  }
}

That'll work for crushing them under damaging crushers, but not for squishing them under closing doors or other non-damaging sector movements.

Now that I think of it, how can monsters get crushed then? They are shootable. I found a workaround by using the SOLID flag, but on "tall corpses", I can't pass through them, so I used the THRUACTORS flag and everything is working as expected. Except that doors can not crush the corpse.

Put a living monster under a door. Now close the door.

Afterwards, kill it, and close the door again.

So how about making the flag cause the actor die instantly and go to Crush state afterwards when a door touches it? Or just bypass the death, just make it detect the door (dead monsters can do it, so why not other actors) and if it does, go to Crush state.

Yeah, re-reading this again, a flag that allows actors to be insta-killed+insta-crushed would indeed be handy for special cases like this (or "destructible objects" in general). [Not needed] isn't accurate.

Honestly, I thought that's what +TOUCHY did already.

+TOUCHYTOSECTORS?

Whatever does what I want is needed so I say yes to "TOUCHYTOSECTORS" flag.

+TOUCHYTOSECTORS?

Under the circumstances, I vote for "CRUNCHY".
