The "How do I..." Thread

[Sgt. Shivers]

Are there any tutorials on creating huds?

[BigProjectAlone]

some links that may help you :

http://zdoom.org/wiki/Custom_Hud
http://zdoom.org/wiki/SBARINFO

i've tried to google tutorial but don't managed to find any so ... i hope that will help you!

here's an exemple of one i managed to do

[Gez]

is that i was thinking about but when i do Playsound that said ERROR in the script ... i dont understand -_-
that said exactly : function playsound is use but not define

"Function used but not defined" means that you use a function that is not defined. So the problem here is in your definition file. Clear enough? Update zdefs.acs.

yes sounds clear enough :/ the only thing is that i dont understand what you mean by Update zdefs.acs. :$

Probably go download the latest version of ACC, which tends to include those.

You can probably update zdefs and zspecial without updating acc (depending on how old your build is). Just copy & paste the changes from the github pages into your files: zdefs.acs, zspecial.acs

Would you be able to give me some pointers on making something like the Goldeneye 64 / Timesplitters Hud?

[FLYBAT]

How to make actors keep a formation? Like, I want to make a Heavy Weapon Dude rank or a Demon wedge, like units in Total War series. Is it possible at all? I am sure ZDoom can almost everything if you try hard enough, but this problem is really complicated to me. Either I do not see the answer or it is not possible.

Question:

Hoe to make a actor face target both players and monsters? Whoever is nearest.

All I could think of is to make the critter non-friendly when the player is the only available target, and friendly otherwise. It won't attack friendlies in such a setup, though, and I don't know how to distinguish the situations so all I could come up with was randomly flipping friendliness on and off.

A_ChageFlag and A_JumpIfTargetOutsideMeleeRange?

Working...

[NeoSpearBlade]

Depends. Rather than replacing the Mancubus, you could replace the actual shot it fires instead, as that is the part generating the sounds anyway, apart from the weird growling he does. Would that be acceptable for what you need? Otherwise there's no way I can think of doing it without using the things you are trying to avoid.

Hmm, might as well try what you're saying and test it to see if that's what I'm looking for.

Here are the firing states for The Mancubus and I assume this is the relevant code:

Code: Select all

Missile:
    FATT G 20 A_FatRaise
    FATT H 10 Bright A_FatAttack1
    FATT IG 5
    FATT H 10 Bright A_FatAttack2
    FATT IG 5
    FATT H 10 Bright A_FatAttack3
    FATT IG 5
    Goto See

There is any way to set linedefs color as locked door?

I mean, make a normal door look like a red door as sample.

[BigProjectAlone]

is this possible to make a monster climbs wall, and is this possible to make a monster simply jump ?
