stomp kill

[memredi]

hey all

how do i make an actor that can be killed by stomping on? I mean when the player stands on the actor actor gets killed so how do I make it?

thanks

Maybe giving every frame of the player's actor A_CustomBulletAttack(0, 9, 1, 10, "BulletPuff", 32, CBAF_EXPLICITANGLE|CBAF_NOPITCH) would work
Not sure if the pitch (second parameter) is the correct one, you may try to increase or decrease it to be sure, using chasecam will make it easier to see.

Doing that should make the player constantly fire a bullet downwards, so anything under it's foot will recieve 10 of damage every 2 or 4 tics.

It depends what you are trying to do but the +TOUCHY flag might be of use here. To quote the wiki, an actor with this flag "dies at the slightest touch". It can be useful for landmines and the like.

remember those cockroaches from half life 1, yeah. I'm trying to do the similar thing to these. I'm trying to do some small rat. Does it count?

If you just want them to be small, get squished easily and not attack the player, the TOUCHY flag would do it (in fact, I have used it for almost exactly that in the past). However, if you want the rats to actually pose some kind of threat (i.e. attack the player)* it probably wouldn't work because as soon as they come into contact with the player to bite him they would die (I assume).

*For what it's worth, I personally find I personally find tiny rat/bat/insect (etc) enemies to be some of the ultimate pointless and unrealistic annoyances in games: too hard to see; too hard to damage and generally doing far too much damage for their size.

You have to use A_Explode on your player frames and tell it not to kill the player with XF_NOTAMISSILE I think it is. I was trying to figure this out myself and just got it working. There is a bit of a delay though but it works.
