{Solved}Tank movement problem {Zscript}

[Collegia Titanica]

I have made 35 obj files of treads moving so that I could assign one per frame, since doom runs at 35 fps. The goal is to load 35 obj models per second.

Code: Select all

TNT1 A 1 {	
					If(IFV_Animation == 36)
					IFV_Animation == 1;
					 Switch(IFV_Animation)
				   {
					default:
						break;

				   case 1:  A_SpawnItemEx ("IFVTreads_01" , 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, user_tankbasedirection, SXF_ABSOLUTEVELOCITY | SXF_ABSOLUTEANGLE); break;

Problem: A_SpawnItemEx doesn't seem to spawn my actors, if I change them with the Hull actor, it works, but it doesn't spawn my treads. Each has a frame of it's own, and spawning them via console works.

Code: Select all

Class IFVTreads_08 : IFVHull
{
 States{
  Spawn: 
  IFT1 H 1;
  stop;
  }
}
Class IFVTreads_09 : IFVHull
{
 States{
  Spawn: 
  IFT1 I 1;
  stop;
  }
}

How do I make sure that when I press [W] [A] [D], the number gets incremented once per frame (max 35) and once 35 is reached, it returns to 1 AND when I stop moving, it remembers where to pick after.

Two things.

1. To my knowledge, there's some ancient behavior going on with actor spawning since forever. The first frame gets skipped. So when you have something like this

Code: Select all

  Spawn:
  IFT1 H 1; // this is skipped
  stop; //it ends up here

This doesn't happen when you spawn it from console.

You could do this:

Code: Select all

  Spawn:
  IFT1 H 0; //This should fix it
  IFT1 H 1;
  stop;

2. You can assign different model per frame. But animating it (not doable with .obj) could make it smoother and maybe more performance efficient... I think.

Code: Select all

Model G2_FluorescentLamp {
	Path "Models"
	SKIN 0 "FluorescentLamp.png"
	MODEL 0 "FluorescentLamp.md3"
	FrameIndex PCLL A 0 0 //First model and texture
	SKIN 0 "FluorescentLampOff.png"
	FrameIndex PCLL B 0 0 //Same model, but with different texture
	MODEL 0 "FluorescentLampBroken.md3"
	SKIN 0 "FluorescentLampBroken.png"
	FrameIndex PCLL W 0 0 //Different texture and model
}

As for your other questions: Is this a player? or is it some other kind of actor?
The animation state should be remembered because you have that variable IFV_Animation... unless you're reseting it somewhere.

Do you want WSAD keys exactly or are you after movement input? https://zdoom.org/wiki/GetPlayerInput_(DECORATE)

Oh, I fixed it some time ago. Everything is working exactly as expected.
