Question about multiple non-random obituaries

[Void Weaver]

Monsters get a projectile obituary, and a melee obituary. That's it.

But what if an monster-actor have a set of related ability-actors? Is it possible to set individual obituary (without scripting ofc) for each of his ability-actors?

Lets say that we have a some "MadImp" which can shoot at target by "fireball" actor and "scream" actor projectiles, aside from his own melee attack. So can I set for the "fireball" "%o was killed with fire" obituary, while "%o was screamed to death by MadImp" for the "scream" actor?

Btw, does are XDeath obituaries overrides over other custom obituaries? I mean that if I to set DamageType as Fire to a some missile, would it always return "%o was melted" obituary instead of mine one then?

Code: Select all

[enu default]

OB_FIRESTORM = "%o was incinerated by infernal flame of the Firestorm";

Code: Select all

Actor D
{
Monster
Obituary "%o was gibbed by the D rage!""
HitObituary "%o was torn up by the D"
States
{
FireStorm:
DICF I 1 bright A_CustomMissile("FStorm",0,random(-20,20),random(-22,22),0,0,CMF_AIMDIRECTION)
Goto see
}
}

Code: Select all

Actor FStorm
{
  Projectile
  DamageType Fire
  Obituary "$OB_FIRESTORM" //"%o was incinerated by infernal flame of the Firestorm"
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    FLMA A 1  A_Weave(8, 0, random(1.0,5.0), 0.0)
	FLMA A 1  A_SpawnItemEx("FireS",0,0,0)
	Loop
    }
}

Code: Select all

Actor FireS
{
  Projectile
  DamageType Fire
  Obituary "$OB_FIRESTORM" // "%o was incinerated by infernal flame of the Firestorm"
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    FLMA ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 2  A_Explode(2, 128, 0)
    FLMB ABCDEFGHIJK 2  A_Explode(2, 128, 0)
    TNT1 A 0 A_Jump(192, "Death")
    Loop
   }
}

But it always returns either mob-actor's obituary, either obituary of Fire XDeath - "%o was melted".

GetObituary should be able to do this.
