The "How do I..." Thread

[Zombieguy]

Try to force it with a A_Playsound. Maybe it's not the better way, but it would work

Is there really no other way? I'm just extremely curious about why the heck this sound won't play.

[Enjay]

Does the sound actually work? ie if you type

playsound barrelbounce

at the console, do you hear the sound?

[Zombieguy]

Yes, it works. I tried the console.

[doony]

to make default key binds, asdw move and block -+ screen size bottom + select default screen size... How I do this changes ?

[tetssian]

can you give me a little example on how to use a teleport with z height but for hexen please?
i simply dnt understand how it works and every freaking example is in zdoom doom in hexen format or something like that and no i want it in zdoom (hexen)

[cocka]

Hi!

I think there is no difference in the way you use it in doom (hexen format) and in hexen.

How do I make an actor immovable (GZDoom)?

Having some trouble with a monster I don't want to get pushed off when I punch it etc. Any ideas how to accomplish this ?
I tried setting its mass to 0x7FFFFFFF as there were some previous threads suggesting this. That doesn't seem to have any noticable effect however.

If it's an absolutely stationary object, you might have success giving it a painchance of 255 and making it do A_Stop every time it enters the pain state.
Otherwise, *gulp*.

Unfortunately not an option, as that would make it too easy to interrupt what it's doing outside of the pain state.

How do I have a monster attack the player while moving?

[gerolf]

How do I have weapons kick back like in Doom 64?

How do I have the SSG/rocket launcher/BFG throw the player backward?

weapon.recoil <amount>


Negative integers will cause the player to lunge forward.

[gerolf]

Okay, I got the SSG to kick the player backward by using A_Recoil, but I can't get the weapon tilt effect to work. I want it to do what the that smasher shotgun on Realm667 does when fired.

I want the tilting to start on the gun flare parts (when the weapon actually fires) the kick back happens in between/or afterwards?

[wildweasel]

The weapon tilt (as opposed to launching the player backwards) is in A_SetPitch.

[gerolf]

Okay, I'm confused. How would I put the A_setpitch along with:

Code: Select all • Expand view

Flash:
    SHTF A 4 Bright A_Light1
    SHTF B 3 Bright A_Light2
    Goto LightDone

I want the tilt to happen during these animations.
