A_VileChase("State", friend)

[Cutmanmike]

Since we're going to have custom states sooner or later, would it be possible to add two paramaters to Vilechase or a similar codepointer?

The first one would be the state it revies with. With it you could create such things as Corpse explosion, or turn corpses into other things such as mana (if it was going to be a hexen/heretic like game).

The second would simply define if you wanted it to be revived as a friend or not.

[Anakin S.]

The state it revives monsters with is Heal. Whether or not it's revived as a friend depends on the archvile's friendliness setting.

[TheDarkArchon]

Anakin: I think cutty wants the state parameter to define what state the resurrectee goes into.

[Cutmanmike]

TDA is correct

[Jimmy]

You can always set a goto parameter in the Raise state.

Code: Select all

Raise:
  SARG A 0
  Goto Pain

[Cutmanmike]

Yes, but you may want different "Archvile" or weapons to ressurect monsters in different ways.

Example, You have a weapon which turns corpses into some form of Health but you have archviles in your map. Like I said this would require custom states.

Edit: I just noticed that the Friendly paramater isn't even needed, since you can use A_ChangeFlag

Sorry for a most horrible bump, but has this actually been implemented? It doesn't seem to work.

[Graf Zahl]

Sure it has. But this was after 2.1.7.

[Osiris Kalev]

I tried using it with the SVN and GZDoom 1.0.24, but it gave me this:

You cannot pass parameters to '('

The line I used was: PLAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 8 A_VileChase("ConvertS", 0)

Anything wrong with this line?

[Graf Zahl]

Ugh. Sorry, I apparently misread something. I thought this was about the A_Chase state thing. I have no idea why this was moved to 'closed suggestions'.

[Osiris Kalev]

Ah ok. Thanks Graf.
