A Christmas present for ZDoom

Why? Aside from the math it's harmless!

Still confused about what some of the operators do, plus its annoying trying to follow a bunch of variables with two letter names. But I'll slog through

Well, thats better than sifting through VC's monolithic help system, thanks.

Wait... hold on a second... this new thingdef thingy supports new custom weapons now??? !!!! !!

Er... is the support not fully functional yet or can I add these files into Zdoom and get the custom weapons right now?

The code's there. In theory, all you need to do is replace the existing code and compile it. Unfortanatly, that's easier said than done.

Hey Graf, can I have an example weapon definition? See, I couldn't work out what the hell you were supposed to do with the diff tool, so I merged the diff by hand. I just want to make sure I didnt balls it up...

And of course, I havent a clue how you are supposed to define them

Hell... I remember doing the code for a Glass Shard Launcher a long time ago. I wonder where that went...

Hey wait a minute. Doesnt decorations.cpp need to be changed to support this extra stuff?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:19 pm

No. Decorations.cpp jumps into thingdef.cpp when it encounters an ACTOR definition. All new code for the parser is inside thingdef.cpp.

And here's an example weapon (the one I tested it with so it's quite crappy):

Code: Select all


ACTOR IceBall : PlasmaBall
{
	DamageType Ice
}

ACTOR ChaingunTest : Weapon 2002
{
	+AMMO_OPTIONAL
	Weapon.SelectionOrder 700
	Inventory.PickupSound "misc/w_pkup"
	Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the chaingun test!"
	Weapon.AmmoType "ClipTest"
	Weapon.AmmoGive 20
	Weapon.AmmoUse 1
	Weapon.Kickback 400
	Weapon.YAdjust 40
	AttackSound "weapons/chngun"
	Weapon.SisterWeapon ChaingunTestPowered
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		MGUN A -1
		Loop
	Ready:
		CHGG A 1 A_WeaponReady
		Loop
	Deselect:
		CHGG A 1 A_Lower
		Loop
	Select:
		CHGG A 1 A_Raise
		Loop
	Fire:
		CHGG A 0 A_JumpIfNoAmmo(8)
		CHGG A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("RedCard",1,4)
		CHGG A 0 A_GunFlash
		CHGG A 4 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall")
		CHGG B 0 A_ReFire
		goto Ready
		CHGG A 0 A_GunFlash
		CHGG A 4 A_FireCustomMissile("Rocket")
		CHGG B 0 A_ReFire
		Goto Ready
		CHGG A 10 A_CustomPunch(5000, 1, 0, "Blood")
		Goto Ready
		
	Flash:
		CHGG A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("RedCard",1,3)
		CHGF A 5 BRIGHT A_Light1
		CHGF A 0 BRIGHT A_Light0
		Stop
		CHGF A 5 BRIGHT A_LightInverse
		CHGF A 0 BRIGHT A_Light0
		Stop
	}
}


ACTOR ChaingunTestPowered : ChaingunTest
{
	+POWERED_UP
	Weapon.AmmoGive 0
	Weapon.SisterWeapon ChaingunTest
	States
	{
	Fire:
		CHGG A 0 A_GunFlash
		CHGG A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall", -20, 0, -10, 10)
		CHGG A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall", -10, 1, -5, 5)
		CHGG A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall", 0, 0)
		CHGG A 0 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall", 10, 1, 5, 5)
		CHGG A 4 A_FireCustomMissile("IceBall", 20, 0, 10, 10)
		CHGG B 0 A_ReFire
		Goto Ready
	}
}

Damn, thats why it broke. I was using the old weapon / ammo keywords. Thanks man

edit: this is awesome

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:31 pm

As I said before: That new inventory system is really powerful.

Chilvence · Post by **Chilvence** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 3:44 pm

You're telling me. With this JumpIfInventory thing, I think I might just be able to pull off my returning throwing hammer

And... weapon upgrade pickups!
