[Decorate] Making an item that makes all melee attacks stun

[Tohg7.]

I was thinking of a super-move i could use in my DoomFighter mod's melee, one of the ideas i have thought of so far is an Autocombo/Ranbu super, which is why i've been wondering about how i could make it so certain melee attacks always force a pain state?

If you have the option to edit the weapons:

In the weapon's Fire state,use A_JumpIfInventory jump to another state which calls the melee attack with stun damage if the player has the item.

Yeah, i know, but is there a way to make a melee attack always force a monster's pain state?

Have the attack's puff have the +FORCEPAIN flag.
If you want the stun to last for some time, you would also need to assign a custom damage type to the puff and add a state to the monster that lasts for some time.

Alternatively if you don't want to define a new state for every monster, this is what I did:

Code: Select all

ACTOR SwordPuffCharged : BulletPuff

  +PUFFONACTORS //Important
  +HITTRACER //Important
  States
  {
  Melee:
    TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("BulletPuff") //Spawn the visual puff
    TNT1 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 1 { //Lasts for 18 tics, about 0.5 seconds, add A's for more time
	  A_SpawnProjectile("SwordStun",0,0,0,CMF_TRACKOWNER|CMF_CHECKTARGETDEAD,0,AAPTR_TRACER); //Spawn the stunning projectile
	  A_Warp(AAPTR_TRACER,0,0,0,0,WARPF_NOCHECKPOSITION); } //Warp to the monster's position
    Stop
  }
}
ACTOR SwordStun //Stunning projectile
