Map07 Special + monster randomspawners

Arch-vile90 · Post by **Arch-vile90** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 12:35 pm

As a title, every monster got +BOSSDEATH and A_BossDeath in the respective points where it need to be. All monsters are tested and map07special work but the problem born when i decide to use my Random Spawner: it does not activate the special effect. This is the Actor code.

Code: Select all

Actor Tier13 replaces Fatso
{
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 0, "BrutalMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 1, "VeteranMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 2, "HellsingMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 3, "ClassicMonster")
stop
BrutalMonster:
	TNT1 A 1
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("MancubusMonsterSpawner")
stop
VeteranMonster:
	TNT1 A 0
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("Daedabus")
Stop
HellsingMonster:
	TNT1 A 0
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("MancubusHellsingSpawner")
Stop
ClassicMonster:
	TNT1 A 1
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("Mancubus")
stop
}}

Any idea?

To transfer specials you need to use the native RandomSpawner. The way you do it all randomly spawned monsters will have no connection to the spawner.

Or you'll have to go ZScript and imitate the way the native randomspawners work. See if this helps.

It may be a good idea to separately virtualize the function that's making the actual decision what to spawn to allow easier customization...

My knowledge about Zscript is less than zero. Any tips to learn first steps?

Well nothing to do with Zscript. I trying the various mods that are around I saw that on project brutality 3.0 work properly and I "borrowed" the code of the random spawner.

Code: Select all

Actor Tier17 :SpiderMastermind replaces SpiderMastermind 7
{ +LOOKALLAROUND	+BOSSDEATH
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 0, "BrutalMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 1, "VeteranMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 2, "HellsingMonster")
TNT1 A 3 A_JumpIf(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("CheckMonster") == 3, "ClassicMonster")
stop

BrutalMonster:
	TNT1 A 1
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("SpiderMastermindMonsterSpawner",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERSPECIAL | SXF_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG | SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS | 288)
stop
VeteranMonster:
	TNT1 A 0
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("SpiderDemolisher",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERSPECIAL | SXF_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG | SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS | 288)
Stop
HellsingMonster:
	TNT1 A 0
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("MastermindHellsingSpawner",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERSPECIAL | SXF_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG | SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS | 288)
Stop
ClassicMonster:
	TNT1 A 1
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("TheSpiderMastermind",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERSPECIAL | SXF_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG | SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS | 288)
stop
}
}
actor SpiderMastermindMonsterSpawner : RandomSpawner //replaces SpiderMastermind
{
	DropItem "TheSpiderMastermind",256,20
	DropItem "AracnorbQueen",256,15
	DropItem "TheArachnophyte",256,15
	DropItem "CerebralSentient",256,10
	DropItem "SpiderDemolisher",256,8
}
Actor MastermindHellsingSpawner : randomspawner
{
	DropItem "TheSpiderMastermind",256,10
	DropItem "SpiderDemolisher",256,5
}

And yes, with PB work but into my nope. Dead point EP. 2
