[SOLVED][ACS] Odd "BUG" String Array in Hexen

[Kan3x]

Hello

I'm having a very odd "bug" in Hexen with this pretty simple script in ACS

Code: Select all

script "Slows_Remove" (void) { //Removes the slow-down factor from the player in about 1.2 seconds
	str slows[5] = { "BowSlow1", "BowSlow2", "BowSlow3", "BowSlow4", "BowSlow5" };
	Log(s:slows[0]);
	for(int bs = 0; bs <= 4; bs++) {
		Log(s:slows[bs]);
		if(CheckInventory(slows[bs])) {
			TakeInventory(slows[bs], 1);
		}
		Delay(10);
	}
}

This script should just remove the 5 powerups stated in the string array and it works perfectly fine... in Doom... but in Hexen, for reasons quite mysterious to me, those strings get read respectively:
"Spawn09", "Spawn10" , "FireDemonAttack", "Spawn08", "the door is locked"

Now... WTH????

Of course, this means that the script won't remove any of those powerups.

Can any of you help me here? D:

Is this in a mod? If so, make sure your ACS file is correctly set up as a library, otherwise, issues like these can happen with strings.

and it worked! Thank you a lot!

Although, may I ask you why does this happen only in Hexen and not in Doom (or why does this happen at all)?

If you don't mark it as a library, it uses the level's string table instead for some reason, which will have other stuff already in it. This doesn't break in Doom because Doom didn't have ACS, only Hexen did.

I see, thank you very much!
