Monster chase below Melee range

Post by Lagi »

My golem make double punch in melee attack. He punch with right then with left hand.

When he hit player with right hand, player is push back and go out of the range of next blow with Left hand.

How to program monster to move a little closer than his max melee range?
f.ex melee range is 50, so let monster come to range 40.

well, melee range is the thing to let stuff get closer.
what you could do is make your punches a short range bullet and have the melee range shorter than the bullet range.

thank you, that do the trick, but...

A_CustomBulletAttack - function can not specify miss and hit sound (like A_CustomMeleeAttack). I can put somewhere:
SPOS E 0 A_PlaySound("weapons/sshotf")
but this would always be the same sound, not depend from hit/miss.

any idea how to implement the hit sound into bullet function?
