Zdoom Decorate Theif-like mantling

[caironighttime]

I'm working on a survival horror TC, and I'm wondering how I would add Thief-like mantling. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Could you show footage of Thief's mantling in action?

I have some ledge mantling code, but it's in ZScript and I am unsure if it could be replicated in DECORATE.
Just put this code into your player's class and it should work.

Code: Select all

	Override void Tick(){
		Super.Tick();
		LedgeClimb();
	}
	void LedgeClimb(){
		If(player.cmd.buttons&BT_JUMP){ //If player is holding jump, execute the code
			FLineTraceData h, i, j;
			LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,height+8,data:i);
			LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,height-4,data:j);
			If(i.HitType==TRACE_HitNone){
				For(int tall=16; tall<=height; tall+=8){
					LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,tall,data:h);
					If(h.HitType==TRACE_HitWall){ //Check if mantling is valid
						int zspd = 0;
						If(j.HitType==TRACE_HitWall||player.cmd.forwardmove>0){zspd=2;} //If player is moving forward, climb up, otherwise stay in place
						Else{ViewBob=0;}
						vel.z=zspd;
						player.jumpTics=-1;
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

Sure can do. Go to 7:13 on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO6k0u5 ... sFPSCorner

nice! I might use this in my mod, thanks for posting.
Personal peeve, you can't use weapons while mantling.
untested:

Code: Select all

	Override void Tick(){
		Super.Tick();
		LedgeClimb();
	}
	weapon PostClimbWeapon;
	bool wasClimbing;
	void LedgeClimb(){
		If(player.cmd.buttons&BT_JUMP){ //If player is holding jump, execute the code
			FLineTraceData h, i, j;
			LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,height+8,data:i);
			LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,height-4,data:j);
			If(i.HitType==TRACE_HitNone){
				For(int tall=16; tall<=height; tall+=8){
					LineTrace(angle,24,0,TRF_THRUSPECIES,tall,data:h);
					If(h.HitType==TRACE_HitWall){ //Check if mantling is valid
						int zspd = 0;
						If(j.HitType==TRACE_HitWall||player.cmd.forwardmove>0){zspd=2;} //If player is moving forward, climb up, otherwise stay in place
						Else{ViewBob=0;}
						vel.z=zspd;
						player.jumpTics=-1;
						if (player.readyweapon) PostClimbWeapon=player.readyweapon;
						player.readyweapon=null;
						if (player.pendingweapon && player.pendingweapon != wp_nochange) PostClimbWeapon=player.pendingweapon;
						wasClimbing=true;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		if (wasClimbing) player.pendingweapon = PostClimbWeapon;
		wasClimbing=false;	
	}
