ZDoom

From the wiki: "Spawn numbers should not be confused with DoomEd numbers. An actor may have a SpawnID, or a DoomEd num, or both, or neither." You defined the Mancubus replacement DoomEd number as 67, not his spawnid. Your script should work fine if you add "spawnid 67" to the monster's properties ...

What I'd do is make the projectile with +THRUACTORS and have it spawn an invisible projectile with negligible speed every tic, and they also only last for 1 tic. Then you can do what you need to in the projectiles' death state (and HITTRACER and similar flags from 2.8.1 can be useful here too)

I literally just came here to suggest the exact same thing. This would be amazing for custom inventory bars and adjusting other status bar commands based on the currently selected item. Since the "invquery" console command already exists, I assume this wouldn't be all too difficult to implement.

Since the quantity given depends on the damage done, this would probably be most useful for a "receive 25% of damage dealt as mana" type of thing. Monster kills should typically be scored by their relative strength, which is going to depend heavily on the monster. (A "catch-all" system based on the ...

Currently, PowerDrain is hardcoded to return half of all damage dealt as health directly to the player. It would be very useful for any kind of scoring system to be able to "drain" something other than health , namely an inventory item; normally this is being done by A_GiveToTarget when monsters are ...

First, I tried to alias "misc/chat" to a player sound, such as *fist. What happens is the default doom fist sound is played, even if I defined *fist This is because the chat sound isn't played by a player but by the UI instead. Right - and the example I mentioned of pickup sounds have the player as ...

Alright, I thought so. Thanks for the reply. I was hoping I could pull something hacky for this to work since pickup sounds and such can be specified as *playersound and work properly for different classes...

In http://zdoom.org/wiki/Predefined_sounds you can find this: misc/chat dsradio // Doom 2 chat sound misc/chat2 dstink // Chat sound for everything else Copy these into a new lump called SNDINFO. Replace the soundnames with the ones you want. For example, replace dsradio with dssecret. http://i ...

I've tried this in several different ways with no luck. First, I tried to alias "misc/chat" to a player sound, such as *fist. What happens is the default doom fist sound is played, even if I defined *fist as a different sound for the classes I use. Then I tried using $playercompat but quickly ...

What I'm trying to do is give my monster an amount of armor for each enemy he hits with his attack (via A_GiveToTarget on the projectiles' appropriate death states) which is why I wanted the value flexibility of armor bonuses. Using CustomInventory does seem like a reasonable solution and I could ...

I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior or not. All I can find on the wiki is that monsters can use armor if it is given to them by a script, and I assume by DECORATE as well via A_GiveInventory. It is easy to see that the monster will function with the given armor pickup (such as Blue Armor ...

After I noticed that my monster's ripper attack was getting blocked by any monster in Skulltag's Invasion gamemode (where monsters never damage each other by projectile attacks, as if they all belonged to one species), I tested it in ZDoom and it still gets blocked by any monster of the same kind. I ...

For the 'smart grenade' attack, couldn't it be done with A_JumpIfCloser and then creating several attack states using A_CustomMissile with a different angle and pitch?
