BFG10k (Quake 2)

If you know the BFG from Quake 2, you know how it zaps enemies during its flight? Good. I'd tried doing that, but it zaps me, and I even put +FRIENDLY...

Here's the code from the Aeons of Death addon...

Does that clear anything up?

It dosen't really look like it, but i'll try it.
I was making it use a Custom Railgun attack.

I THINK that's what the code above does. Believe me, that's the Q2 BFG10K.

DBThanatos · Post by **DBThanatos** » Mon May 01, 2006 6:13 pm

cool, someone took a look to that weapon...
It does fires railgun shots to the enemies, I think that is really close to the real bfg10, thanks to the "enlightening staff" creator, that was my base to make the BFG10k works. Anyway I cant make the BFG10k weapon to shoot more than one rail shots at the same time, when I tried to do that the BFGBall was bleeding... weird uh?

By the way
JIMMY91: in the code you posted of the AEOD there are a few actors missing, that ones are which makes the BFGball works.

So now you can use random(low, high) in decorate just like ACS? Boy, have I been out of the loop.

Let me get this straight. You have a projectile that spawns a bunch of invisible actors that are friendly and last for a brief moment. Then they awaken and fire at the nearest targets?

The randomize technic I learned from WRW

and yes, is exactly as you described the actor, cool uh?

Anakin S. · Post by **Anakin S.** » Tue May 02, 2006 9:02 pm

Yeah. I got to try it sometime.

Anakin S. · Post by **Anakin S.** » Thu May 04, 2006 12:28 am

What's in the BFGAlpha definition? I think that where mine goes wrong.

Post by **Nash** » Thu May 04, 2006 7:19 am

So this attempts to emulate the Quake 2's BFG, huh?

Where can I download this Aeons of Death mod?

DBThanatos · Post by **DBThanatos** » Sat May 06, 2006 12:56 pm

you can download my AEOD mod in page 6 in the "another mod for doom2"

Hmmm, but they're not true railgun shots because they don't use any railgun codepointers.......guess I still have to wait

Froon · Post by **Froon** » Tue May 09, 2006 8:23 am

I had an attempt at this a few months ago for the WRW, but it seems to have been forgotten. I have not seen the AEOD version yet, but I figure mine will be different, it did not use a rail attack, but instead a weak stream of projectiles:

Anakin S. · Post by **Anakin S.** » Sun May 14, 2006 1:09 pm

Is there a way to make it attack multiple targets? It seems that it can only focus on one target at a time. Is this a limitation of monster targeting systems?

Froon · Post by **Froon** » Sun May 14, 2006 8:03 pm

Essentially, yeah, all it really consists of is a whole heap of single fire friendly monsters, one spawned every tic, and they seem to target the nearest enemy, no matter which direction they are facing.

That said, I made a few changes to the BFG9k5, essentially they were mainly aesthetic. I added tracers to the main projectile, added A_Light pointers for a gun flash and changed A_PlaySound to A_PlayWeaponSound to remove a silent BFG issue. However, I also switched the projectile stream to A_CustomRailgun attacks, and when fired it appears to attack in multiple directions at the same time, at least a lot more than the projectiles did. Since there are no new sounds or graphics, I'll just post the Decorate, if you are interested in checking it out.

Why didn't I use A_CustomRailgun from the beginning? I was unaware of it's existence, and A_MonsterRail looked and sounded awful.
