Under the circumstances, I vote for "CRUNCHY". :P

Whatever does what I want is needed so I say yes to "TOUCHYTOSECTORS" flag.

Yeah, re-reading this again, a flag that allows actors to be insta-killed+insta-crushed would indeed be handy for special cases like this (or "destructible objects" in general). [Not needed] isn't accurate.

So how about making the flag cause the actor die instantly and go to Crush state afterwards when a door touches it? Or just bypass the death, just make it detect the door (dead monsters can do it, so why not other actors) and if it does, go to Crush state.

Put a living monster under a door. Now close the door.

Afterwards, kill it, and close the door again.

Now that I think of it, how can monsters get crushed then? They are shootable. I found a workaround by using the SOLID flag, but on "tall corpses", I can't pass through them, so I used the THRUACTORS flag and everything is working as expected. Except that doors can not crush the corpse.

That'll work for crushing them under damaging crushers, but not for squishing them under closing doors or other non-damaging sector movements.

You could give the actor a very high sensitivity to crush damage type and then use a Death.Crush state to get it to work. Try something like this, though I don't know if it works:

Code: Select all

ACTOR WhyNotBoth : Eldunari
{
  DamageFactor "Crush", 20.0
  //other properties
  States
  {
  //spawn code etc.

  Death.Crush: //death when crushed
    GIBS ABCD 1
    GIBS E -1
    Stop
  Death: //normal death by guns or something
    LAMP FG 1
    LAMP H -1
    Stop
  }
}

So I suppose shootable corpses that crush under crushers will never be possible.

Not really, no. If the actor isn't dead, they have no business going anywhere near crush actions, including the state.

For being shootable an actor's health needs to be positive and for being crushable it needs to be non-positive. (0 or negative.)
That is why I need that state keyword/flag added in the game so it excludes the health check.

He probably set 0x7FFFFFFF health or something like that to make the corpse shootable.
Did you try giving it a Pain.Crush state?

If I'm understanding Graf correctly, this should indeed be possible, i.e. there's probably something else wrong in the OP's DECORATE code. Best to post it to make sure.
