[Ahpiox]

Im working on Duke3D mod for Doom (as u can see).
And i want to port Shrinker, because it will be fun to smash this little bastards with your Mighty Foot.

I tried to do this through CustomInventory item, which was supposed to change enemies scale. But it's dont want to do anything.
Help please

Code: Select all

ACTOR Nuking_Shrink
{
  Radius 7
  Height 10
  Speed 31
  Damage 1
  Scale 1
  Decal "Scorch"
  SeeSound ""
  States
  {
  Spawn:
	0011 A 1
	Loop
  Death:
    TNT1 A 1 A_RadiusGive("Nuking_ShrinkingShit",12,RGF_NOTARGET|RGF_MONSTERS|RGF_CUBE|RGF_NOSIGHT,1)
    Stop
  }

ACTOR Nuking_ShrinkingShit : CustomInventory
{
  States
	{
	Pickup:
		TNT1 A 0 A_CheckFlag("ICECORPSE", "Failing")
		TNT1 A 0 A_CheckFlag("BOSS", "Failing")
		TNT1 A 0 A_CheckFlag("NOBLOOD", "Failing")
	LetTheBodiesGetSmall:
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.95,0.95)
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.90,0.90)
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.85,0.85)
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.80,0.80)
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.70,0.70)
		TNT1 A 2 A_SetScale(0.65,0.65)
		TNT1 A 1 A_SetScale(0.60,0.60)
		TNT1 A 1 A_SetScale(0.55,0.55)
		TNT1 A 1 A_SetScale(0.25,0.25)
		TNT1 A 1 A_SetScale(0.10,0.10)
	Failing:
		TNT1 A 0
		Fail
	}
}

Because a_setscale change only visual size of an actor.
To change collision box use a_setssize.

[Ahpiox]

im telling not about this.
Im telling about that actor Nuking_Shrink do not even work.

[Apeirogon]

What exactly dont work?
From what you post, Nuking_Shrink dont have projectile combo and 12 is a very small number for radius give function.

[Ahpiox]

Damn, i through 12 will be enough. Thanks for help!

You should use ZScript for this kind of effect.

The shrink effect custominventory won't work as expected because all states are processed instantly in CustomInventory item -- the two-tic delay between each step you've coded will be ignored.

[Ahpiox]

Yeah, it's true. But what kind of ZScript, it is a through tic override, new function inside inventory item or what?

In a [wiki=ZScript_virtual_functions#Inventory]DoEffect() override[/wiki]:

Code: Select all

class ShrinkerItem : Inventory
{
    override void DoEffect ()
    {
        // Do shrink stuff...
    }
}
