I was wondering how to create a simple taunt system. I have some taunts I created.

WildWeasel made it as an alt-fire to Melee Attacks in his Diaz mods. It's a very cheap (and fun) way to alert monsters and draw them in.

Good idea, but I woud like to make it use a the KEYCONF system.

HXRTC Project has such system.
1. ACS

Code: Select all

#library "taunting"
#include "zcommon.acs"

// SCRIPTS

Script "Taunting" (void)
{
        if (UseInventory("HXRTCPlayerTauntingAction"))
        {
                terminate;
        }
}

2. Decorate

Code: Select all

ACTOR HXRTCPlayerTauntingAction : CustomInventory
{
        Inventory.MaxAmount 0x7FFFFFFF
        -INVENTORY.INVBAR
        -COUNTITEM
        States
        {
        Use:
                TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("PlayerTaunting", 2)
                TNT1 A 0 A_AlertMonsters
                Fail
        }
}

(this actor is given to player at start: Player.StartItem "HXRTCPlayerTauntingAction", 0x7FFFFFFF)

never used acs, ill try it. how do I make it a hotkey in the KEYCONF?

Here's a way to do it without inventory items, playerpawn replacements or potentially cheat-disabled ACS script puking.

Define the taunt action in a ZScript eventhandler:

Code: Select all

class TauntHandler:EventHandler{
        override void NetworkProcess(ConsoleEvent e){

        //check to ensure the acting player can taunt
        let ppp=playerpawn(players[e.player].mo);
        if(!ppp)return;

        if(
            e.name~=="taunt"
            &&ppp.health>0 //delete if you want corpses taunting the enemy
        ){
            ppp.A_PlaySound("*taunt",CHAN_VOICE);
            ppp.A_TakeInventory("powerfrightener");
            ppp.A_AlertMonsters();
        }
}

Define some sounds to use in SNDINFO:

Code: Select all

$playersound    player    male    *taunt        swivethyselfm
$playersound    player    female    *taunt        swivethyselff

Enable the ZScript event handler in MAPINFO:

Code: Select all

addeventhandlers="TauntHandler"

Set a key for it in KEYCONF (same principle works for the ACS+Decorate version, just replace the netevent with using the item):

Code: Select all

//this creates a command to activate the netevent
//though you could probably just call this directly too
alias taunt "netevent taunt";

//adds the taunt to the menu (optional)
addmenukey "Taunt" taunt

This is what I get when I put in the eventhandler in mapinfo.

Which version of GZDoom are you using, and can you show the Mapinfo lump?

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2018 6:31 pm**

I currently updated it to v3.3.2.

Code: Select all

gameinfo
{
   PlayerClasses = "Kennic"
}

   AddEventHandlers = "TauntHandler"

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2018 6:34 pm**

That line belongs in the gameinfo block.

Now I get another error, Script error, "SE.pk3:acs/taunt.txt" line 1:
Expected '{', got 'TauntHandler:EventHandler"

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2018 7:19 pm**

It's ZScript not ACS, so it should go into the zscript.txt (or a filed #included in it).

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2018 7:36 pm**

Its one error after another.

"1 errors while parsing SE.pk3:zscript.txt"

And this is the code I copied earlier that is causing the current issue:

Code: Select all

class TauntHandler:EventHandler
{
 override void NetworkProcess(ConsoleEvent e)
 {
  //check to ensure the acting player can taunt
        let ppp=playerpawn(players[e.player].mo);
        if(!ppp)return;

        if(
            e.name~=="taunt"
            &&ppp.health>0 //delete if you want corpses taunting the enemy
        ){
            ppp.A_PlaySound("*taunt",CHAN_VOICE);
            ppp.A_TakeInventory("powerfrightener");
            ppp.A_AlertMonsters();
        }
}
