Thing_Hate questions

[DBThanatos]

In order to have two "factions" hating each other, i must call two times Thing_hate right? just like the example of the wiki, in this case with tids

Code: Select all

thing_hate(1,2,6)
thing_hate(2,1,6)

And, when is done, this means that anything with those Tids will hate the other, no matter when they appear? or the "hate" is only applied to the matching tids present in the moment the Thing_hate is called?

Thanks in advance

sorry, it only works on monsters that are currently in the map. if you want spawned monsters to hate put it in a loop.

It only effects actors when the script is called, so if you called the script and then your actors spawned they would NOT hate whoever you set them to hate.

The disadvantage with doing this is that each time the special is called monsters will be forced to find a new target, so this may have the undesired side-effect that enemies will switch targets each time the loop hits rather than finishing one off and then moving on to the next.

ok, spawn each with a 4/3 tid then make them hate the others and then change the tid IE:

Code: Select all

script 5 (void)
{
	spawnspot("Cacodemon", 10, 3);
	thing_hate(3, 2, 6);
	thing_changetid(3, 1);
}

script 6 (void)
{
	spawnspot("BaronOfHell", 11, 4);
	thing_hate(4, 1, 6);
	thing_changetid(4, 2);
}

Well, the loops i made are not extremely continous (only for when more monsters respawn, that being around every 15 seconds), and the target change is not a problem at all (in fact, it helps ).

Thanks for the info guys
