Damage types for mdk command

[Akira_98]

Adding a damage type parameter to the mdk command would be helpful in quickly and easily testing death by different damage types. It could simply be "mdk fire" or "mdk crush".

[Player701]

Seconding this, sounds quite useful for testing.

[Lord Misfit]

Thirding this, not sure why I never thought about this in the past.

[FireHusky]

That would be nice.

[The Zombie Killer]

I'd find this very useful as well.

[Ethril]

A way to specify if it should gib or not would be nice as well.

[Gez]

Assuming damagetypes go in, you could use mdk extreme to gib stuff. (The "extreme" damage type always gibs.)

[Edward-san]

I believe also the 'kill' command should get the damage type (it's easy with monsters/specific actors, but what about the suicide? won't be there a possibility that 'kill Normal' will kill a possible actor called 'Normal'?)

[NeuralStunner]

Kill would need a new version, I think. (TypeKill? Meh.)

[Nightfall]

Maybe `kill self` for suicide?

[Edward-san]

Sadly you can create a monster called 'self':

Code: Select all

ACTOR self { +ISMONSTER }

So it won't work unless you, in the c++ source, add 'self' as a keyword or make it refer to the caller.

[edit] Or else, create a new command of the type "killself [damagetype]".

[The Zombie Killer]

I reckon "suicide [damagetype]" would be a better name for it.

Just thought I'd bump this thread with this:
I made a mini-project of sorts that adds a new "mdk2" command.

You just use it like you'd expect, for example, to kill an enemy with the "Fire" damagetype, just use "mdk2 fire".

It's written in C, so unless you know how to compile GDCC code, the source won't be of much use to you (but it's included anyway).

EDIT: Why the hell not, have a regular ACS version (GDCC libraries conflict with each other at the moment, so this one is safer to autoload):

You should really put this up to git. 'Cuz this got in thanks to being on git just fine.
