Weapons that use health as Ammo.

[Killer_Of_Doom]

Hi, i just want to know if there's a way to use the players health as ammo

[Cutmanmike]

I think the only way is to use A_Takeinventory

DamageThing can be used to take health from the player. But this also subtracts from the armor. Currently the only other method is using SetActorProperty inside an ACS script.

Okay, thanks!

I thought Strife's Sigil used health as ammo. Can't you derive off that?

It's also possible to do that in EDGE. I saw it in a TC for EDGE (the one with Babel)

I just have the weapon fire in invisible projectile with 0 speed that deals explosive damage. Since projectiles originate from the player's exact center, giving it an explosion radius of 1 and an explosion damage value of whatever amount of health you want to take away. Although now that you mention it, Damagething would work just as well, only easier, so use that.

But that'll still whittle away at the player's armor: a rather unintended side-effect.

I wish there was a way around that, seeing that Zen Dynamics has such a weapon... well, the next version of it will, that is.

No. That is because it doesn't really use health as ammo. Instead it damages the player when firing.

hows this:

A_FireCustomMissile("SigilDamager",0,0,0,0)

SigilDamager
{
Speed 0
PROJECTILE
+MISSILE
ExplosionDamage 25
ExplosionRadius 5
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 5 A_Explode
Stop
}
}

It works for me.......

Uh, that just looks like a 0 range missile damager. It doesn't use health, it takes it because it explodes when shot. I guess it's a question of weather you want to fire that last shot and die from it.

[ant1991331]

if you were dumb enough too..........

[solarsnowfall]

Heh, set it to a monster and watch it commit suicide...
