The mask here is the inverse of the regular one, this triggers only in those frames where the main one does not!

I don't get it:

Code: Select all

            if (thing->player && leveltime & 31)
            {
                P_DamageMobj(thing, &LavaInflictor, NULL, 5);
}
There's still the "leveltime & 31" mask going on, so it should only happen if P_HitFloor is called during the proper tic, right?

Yes, something like that. I'll have a closer look later when I'm back home.

Make it a terrain property. That way it won't retroactively affect custom definitions. Since it needs to check the terrain for the splash anyway this is the cleanest and most versatile approach.

The difference is caused by a lacking of this code. It's an open question how to incorporate that thing properly.

Sorry, I made a mistake, I meant 4.2.4 :oops:
My bad.

I am using GZDoom 2.4.2.4.2.4.

In vanilla/chocolate Hexen, whenever you land on the lava, you take damage. This prevents "cheesing" the timed damage like what is possible in the version of GZDoom I'm currently using, as it doesn't currently seem to include this behavior.

I provided a pig projectile spawner in the example map because it quickly illustrates the difference. In the original Hexen, you constantly bounce as a pig due to taking damage from landing on the lava. However, this does not occur in the version of GZDoom that I am currently using.

edit:corrected version number.
