If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

CheckActorCeilingTexture ignores F_SKY1

Post by Guest »

script "windsound" ENTER
{
if (CheckActorCeilingTexture(0, "F_SKY1"))
print (s:"You're outside!");
else
print (s:"You're inside!");

delay(1);
restart;
}

Prints "You're inside!" even if I am under the skybox.
And it works fine with another textures, but not with F_SKY1

It does work when you include #include "zcommon.acs" at the top,
like so

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "windsound" ENTER
{
if (CheckActorCeilingTexture ( 0, "F_SKY1") )
print (s:"You're outside!");
else
print (s:"You're inside!");

delay(1);

restart;
}

What game did you test this on? Hexen and Strife use different names for the sky texture.

Perhaps a dedicated "CheckActorOutside" function could be useful because the sky flat can be changed and there's also sector type 87.

I have like this:

in gameinfo section of ZMapInfo lump:

Code: Select all

skyflatname = "F_SKY1"
in ACS:

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "windsound" (void)
{
 if (CheckActorCeilingTexture(0, "F_SKY1"))
    print (s:"You're outside!");
 else
    print (s:"You're inside!");

 delay(1);
 restart;
}

Please post your map. We can guess all we want but we need to see the problem in action to give any further advice.

Solved!

while looking through the pk3 have found the cause. There was not "flats" folder with "F_SKY1" flat.
thanks anyway
