ZDoom

Surely, zdoom.exe has access to the names of the currently defined difficulties? Numbered custom difficulties can have a wide range of meanings, and the numbers are not otherwise presented in the user interface, so games that appear to run with the currently loaded set of wads should probably ...

Spawning does/did not call the state setting function (with its implicit countdown/next-state operation). It assigned a state directly, to avoid all the side effects. A duration 0 state cannot normally be maintained, but on spawn it is maintained until the next time states advance naturally. Foo the ...

Are you asking for a way to set a pointer in another actor than the activator? So that you don't have to change activator to the actor whose pointer you want to change? It is a reasonable request. I have two problems with it: 1. Every parameter in SetPointer is already a tid, a pointer selector (any ...

By "try to import", do you mean when you try to compile another ACS script which references this library? What file/path are you referencing with the offending #import command / where and how is the source stored? (I always needed to keep external files with updated acs-source to compile scripts ...

Or have 3 actor properties: Face.Male Face.Female Face.Neutral (not sure this is the right word to use) And have "Face" as a shorthand for assigning a value to all unspecified face properties. Same amount of data, more flexibility, and the option of not having a default face. If you do want a ...

Far as I can tell only drowning damage ignores armour. I don't know if this is applicable to your situation, but you can modify/create damage types that ignore armour. So if you want/need/can use a completely new damage type for a very specific purpose, you might be able to. [wiki]Custom_damage ...

I think the people who do not handle that case at all, will have to accept a 0 for any numeric expression. If that's not right... they'll just have to check. We can't throw them an error, but if they don't define a specific behaviour for non-existent actor, they don't have one. That will never be ...

OT, but: What? Mixing vars and arrays how? Mixing two valid (integer) expressions that do not by themselves throw errors (on load/parse)? If that is true, surely it must be a bug. As long as you speak of combining them with the use of appropriate operators. What errors have you seen?

Hey. I made this other solution to the problem. Graf did not want to apply it now (after all, it isn't needed), so I thought I ought to record it in this thread, where the potential problem was brought up: http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=46758 Requires an update to ACC zdefs. Use Aaptr ...

Aaptr_playernum(int number): Create a player pointer selector. Aaptr_playernum(0)...Aaptr_playernum(7) can be used in place of AAPTR_PLAYER1...AAPTR_PLAYER8. Aaptr_playernum(8)...Aaptr_playernum(127) have no current purpose, but will automatically work if zdoom player limits are increased. Thus the ...

bool CheckClass(string classname, int ptr_select = aaptr_default, bool match_superclass = false) Checks the class of the selected pointer. Returns false if the specified class does not exist. Returns false if the selected actor (default = caller) does not exist. Returns true if the selected actor's ...

Maybe a Y/N prompt instead of a complete block? (Press USE: A - Normal behaviour. B - Skip? Y/N)

Don't ask me about the !y. My first attempt was so pathetic. ! was meant for operands, not variables or values. As for loops, that's a different story. NOTE ABOUT UNTIL LOOPS: To do an until loop , simply add a ! (not) sign at the beginning (eg. while (!(i>0)) I should have read the Continue ...
