I would like to make my mod compatible with customs monsters pack, but I would like to make a script which work like this :
- If the monster killed is a Zombieman or a inherited actor, he will drop a clip but if he's not, he will drop something else.

Code: Select all

Class ClipDrop : CustomInventory replaces Clip
{
	Default {}
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		TNT1 A 0 NoDelay
		{
			If(invoker.bTOSSED) // Credits
				Return ResolveState("Drop.Weapon"); // to
				Return ResolveState(Null); // SanyaWaffles
		}
		TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("Clip");
		Stop;
	Drop.Weapon:
		TNT1 A 0
		{
			If( ... ) // What should I wrote ?
			{ A_DropItem("Clip"); } // For Zombieman only
			Else
			{ A_DropItem("Shell",4,256); } // Drop 4 Shells if the monster is not a Zombieman.
		}
		Stop;
	}
}

From what I understand, you are trying to make an item drop only when dropped by a certain enemy, right?
If so, then the SpecialDropAction virtual function is what you need for that.
For example:

Code: Select all

Class DropChooser : Inventory
{
    Override bool SpecialDropAction(Actor dropper)
    {
        If(dropper is "Zombieman"){A_DropItem("ClipBox");} //If actor that dropped the item is a zombieman (or derived), drop a clip box
        Else If(dropper is "ShotgunGuy"){A_DropItem("ShellBox");} //If actor is a shotgunguy (or derived), drop a shell box
        Return 1; //Destroy the item if it was dropped at all
    }
}

You can put this override instead of the "Drop.Weapon" state and the bTOSSED check, as it will remove the item if it was dropped.

Thank you Jarewill, I've improved your code to make it compatible with monsters pack such as KriegslandEnemies.

Code: Select all

Class ClipDropChooser : Inventory replaces Clip
{
    Override bool SpecialDropAction(Actor dropper)
    {
        If(dropper is "Zombieman"){ A_DropItem("Clip"); } //If actor that dropped the item is a zombieman (or derived)
        Else { A_DropItem("ClipBox",25,256); }
        Return 1; //Destroy the item if it was dropped at all
    }
    States
    {
    Spawn:
        TNT1 A 0 NoDelay
        {
            If(invoker.bTOSSED)
                { A_SpawnItem("ClipDropChooser"); }
            Else
                { A_SpawnItem("Clip"); }
        }
        Stop;
   }
}
