Changing Velocity of player when hit by Monster

[Aerosplinter]

Is it possible to change the velocity of the player so that he goes up whenever he is hit, for example, by an uppercut of the enemy?

Code: Select all

override void damagemobj(actor inflictor, actor source, int damage, name mod, int flags=0, double angle)
{
	if(mod == 'uppercut')
	{
		self.vel.z += 50;
	}
	return super.damagemobj(inflictor, source, damage, mod, flags,angle
}

If you put this on a custom playerpawn in zscript it should work I think. Just need to use damage type 'uppercut' for whatever calls the attack.

Wouldn't it be better if you coded the functionality in to the monster? Maybe something like:

Code: Select all

TROO A 5 A_DoThing();
TROO A 0 A_AttackThing();
TROO A 0 { target.vel.z += 50; }

It would make it so that it launches enemies in infights as well.

Is this code Decorate or ZScript?

If it has semicolons after the state function calls it's ZScript.

Would something similar to this also work with DECORATE, but modified to fit DECORATE's language?

you could put a A_ChangeVelocity into the player pain state or something?

[wiki]A_ChangeVelocity[/wiki] takes a pointer so the imp can do it to its target in that state.
