Re: "Nostalgia Pandering" - Does it ruin games for you?

I singled out the military-industrial-complex fascist right because that's where AAA shooters tend to go if they go anywhere. And it doesn't have to be extreme, either, just a tacit endorsement of what makes a man a man according to the assumptions of the story being told. I honestly don't know how ...

Re: [WIP] The Trooper - 0.2.4.13b Inbound [UPGRADES]

If can make a suggestion: split the "Primary Weapons" in half, scrolling though 7 weapons with 2 keys would be a pain, 3-4 weapons per slot is perfect and even 5 is pushing it, but bearable. 7 might be a mess if I need to get to a specific weapon.

Re: "Nostalgia Pandering" - Does it ruin games for you?

pornography or some kind of right-wing militant-fascist extreme propaganda Honestly any propaganda (A.K.A. Political pandering) extreme enough can basically ruin the experience of any game no matter what area on the political spectrum. mother, spouse, priest, etc. walked in on you playing the game ...

I guess most people are kind of freaked out by the compound eyes and the fact that it has 8 legs. that and it's hard to anthropomorphize it (personality wise I mean) compared to other things.

EDIT: If the need is to just modify the player's forwardmove and sidemove, the variables are playerpawn.[forward/side]move[1/2], 1 being walk and 2 being run oh so THAT's how you do it, I was wondering if I did somethign wrong, I thought the variable was just playerpawn.[forward/side]move.

Re: "Nostalgia Pandering" - Does it ruin games for you?

In the end, "Pandering" is only bad if it has nothing to back it up (A.K.A. everything else like game-play, aesthetics, or story) and used as a crutch as a way to make the game stand out. Pandering is fine if it's used as a stool not a crutch. Doom 2016 IMHO was basically one of the biggest panders ...

Changing player properties dynamicaly in zscript

Is it possible to change actor properties, specifically player's? I tried using variables but since I can't initialize them on the same line I declare them, it throws an error.

The goal here was to ensure that I can change player speed on specific inventory and conditions but I have other plans.
