Random one liners

[Visceral_Nightmare]

Is there a way to get the player to say one liners randomly like a 1 in 50 chance? If someone would pointe in the right direction that'd be awesome!

do you mean when they kill something?
you could probably just make a custom inventory or something that has a 2% chance to give to you when things die?
or a zscript variable.

Yes on kill that's what I meant. Awesome I'll see what I can. Come up with. Is there any mod that already does this that I could take a look at?

Edit: looking at samsara and going to use what I learn there, if I even actually want to do it.

Sorry about posting in an old thread, but I found this when searching for a way to do one liners myself, but couldn't find any answer. Figured I post that I eventually found the Shadow Warrior mod ( viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46168 ) where they had a good way of doing it. If anyone else wants to do one liners, check the player decorate in Shadow Warrior.


My version of the code (which is pretty much copy/pasted, but with different Actor handles.

Code: Select all

Actor QuipTimer : PowerDamage
{
	Powerup.Duration 120
	DamageFactor "Normal", 1.0
}


Actor StandardQuip: CustomInventory
{
    Inventory.MaxAmount 0
    +AUTOACTIVATE
    
    States
    {
       Spawn:
         TNT1 A 0
         stop

       UseStop:
         TNT1 A 0
         stop
    }
}


ACTOR Quip : StandardQuip
{
 States
	{
	 Pickup:
        TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("QuipTimer", 1, "UseStop")
        TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound("Scott/Pain", 7)
        TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("QuipTimer", 1)
        stop
	}
}

You have to add "A_GiveToTarget" to the monsters, though. I added this to the death of a monster as such: " POSS H 0 A_GiveToTarget ("Quip") " So when the monster dies, the player will say a one liner. The powerup duration in the above code decides how long before the player can say another one liner. You could also limit this by adding a A_Jump frame before the A_GiveToTarget frame, and set it for however big chance you want the one liners to have.
