Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

There is an A_LookEx method converted to ZScript, you can use it for your friendly monsters and modify it in any way you like it: viewtopic.php?t=71110

I think there was an addon for Hideous Destructor specifically that worked like Resident Evil boxes so you could put items in and next box would have same items. Don't remember the name of the addon.

I've made CHIP-8 and SUPER-CHIP emulator in ZScript:

Chip-8 and Schip-legacy flicker a lot so be aware of that.

Despite all tests passing some roms refuse to run for me. I probably don't know some things :(

If you're asking about SBARINFO - you'll have to make a copy of an existing status bar
If you're talking about just drawing whatever on screen you may want to check on Events and Handlers article and handler you're interested in is RenderOverlay.
There is also a recommendation to use StatusBar with ...

This has in fact worked for me, but the real issue with this is that I know I want to create something but I don't know what I exactly want to make, if you get what I'm saying.


Its a trick made by your brain to not do anything. In case of Doom mapping just open the builder and start drawing ...

Doesn't work for everyone but what works for me is to start doing motivation blocked thing. Then for me brain switches into problem solving mode instead of contemplating what to do it has a problem to solve almost immediately.
I've heard that allocating time frame for it works for some people ...

I dream of zscript implementation of jsclipper. It would solve this issue and give a lot of cool ways of working with sector geometry.

The most basic AOE attack imaginable is A_Explode

Does AOE damage, pushes actors away from its center, has configurable radius.


But if you want something more specific you'll need to give more details.

Knowing that this kind of feature is planned for GZDoom makes me happy. Can't wait to stop using -stdout and logs for that.

As far as I understand canvas textures can't have transparency.
I can draw semi-transparent pixels onto it but they will always be drawn on top of completely opaque background. So I can't for example make a midtexture with holes in it if I'm using canvas texture.

Is this a hard limitation or can it ...

I think I've joined the forums at around GZDoom v3.2.5 to ask a question about ACS. Since then interacting with engine and community around it built confidence in me that allowed me to shoot for a job way outside my comfort zone and triple my income. I don't have any big releases to my name but I've ...

You can access actor's velocity vector directly and you can modify it which is perfect for dashes in any direction.
To dash towards the target you need vector difference between target position and companion position.

I'm currently working on a mod using this TC. Does anyone know how I would go about porting Second Encounter or any fan map packs?


I have half of a converter: I can read GAMEMAPS into data that can be worked with. I wrote it first in TypeScript then re-wrote it to ZScript: https://forum.zdoom ...
