A_FireProjectile does not work inside zscript action methods

[insightguy]

*anymore

as of 3.2.5, my action method in my weapon no longer works

Code: Select all

	action void X_FlackBlast(float Hor, float Ver, int pellet, int position)
	{
		for (int counter = 0; counter < pellet; counter++)
		{
			A_FireProjectile("ShotgunPellet",FRandom(-Hor,Hor),0, position,5,FPF_NOAUTOAIM|FPF_AIMATANGLE,FRandom(-Ver,Ver));
		}
	}

I tried to remove the for loop, but that does not work either.


Last seen working on 3.2.3

[_mental_]

Post a runnable sample please.

Post a runnable sample please.

I can't I updated to GZdoom 3.2.5 and lost the previous version.

if your talking about the mod, note that it's not complete and the shotguns don't work (because of the aforementioned problem), here
Just please don't start passing it off as your own work.

Well no wonder it doesn't work... Here is your shotgun pellet code

Code: Select all

Class ShotgunPellet : CustomInventory
{
    Default
    {
        Speed  60;
        Radius 1;
        Height 0;
        Damage 3;
        +CANNOTPUSH;
        +NODAMAGETHRUST;
        Scale 0.25;
    }
    States
    {
    Spawn:
        TNT1 A 1;
        Loop;
    Death:
        PUFF ABCD 2 Bright;
        Stop;
    }
}

One, why is it a CustomInventory? Two, it doesn't have the Projectile Combo [not necessary but convenient], the +MISSILE flag is needed here. Three, the small size properties will most likely cause issues down the line with collision.

well crap, I initially made this as a Fastprojectile but I honestly don't know why that changed, must have been me wanting to change it into a regular projectile but forgot "actor" and instead typed custominventory. looks like it's fixed thanks!

and thanks for the projectile combo and size property recommendation!
