After experimenting with all three methods of inflicting damage-over-time via ACS, I'm stuck. Thanks to DoomKrakken, I can get the Scripts to activate when they should, but they're not doing what they ought to (inflict damage over time on the Player). I'm guessing I have the syntax completely wrong somewhere. Here's all three examples of what I've tried - any help figuring out where I'm going wrong would be greatly appreciated.
First attempt:
Code: Select all
Script "PoisonScript" (void) //Damage Script for venom/poison. Credit to DoomKrakken.
{
SetActivator (AAPTR_TARGET);
GiveInventory ("Recovery", 1); //This is working - it gives me the item repeatedly over time.
damageactor (0,AAPTR_TARGET,0,AAPTR_NULL,3,"venom"); //Inflict 3 Damage. This isn't working at all.
delay(35); //Do it about 1 time per second
restart;
}
Second attempt:
Code: Select all
Script "PoisonScript2" (void) //Damage Script for venom/poison. Credit to DoomKrakken.
{
SetActivator (AAPTR_TARGET);
GiveInventory ("Recovery", 1); //Again, this works.
Thing_Damage(AAPTR_TARGET,3,"venom"); //Inflict 3 Damage. Again, this doesn't.
delay(35); //Do it about 1 time per second
restart;
}
Third attempt:
Code: Select all
Script "PoisonScript3" (void) //Damage Script for venom/poison. Credit to DoomKrakken.
{
SetActivator (AAPTR_TARGET);
GiveInventory ("Recovery", 1); //Still works.
Thing_Damage2(AAPTR_TARGET,3,"venom"); //Inflict 3 Damage. Still not works.
delay(35); //Do it about 1 time per second
restart;
}
Of course, I want this to be reversible - If I give the Player an item that has the function of Terminate Script, I'm guessing this would stop it, but is there also a way to check and see if the Script is actually running, and thus prevent the Player from using the item if it isn't?
