My Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Cartridge isn't Working!

Ok, I have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde NES cartridge as a boss, so it's a fucking wall that when shot, it removes health from this kind of wall-monster.

The thing is that this health isn't lowering for some reason, and the health bar stays the same.

The code:

Spoiler:

So I don't know what to do.

Are you making a Angry Videogame Nerd doom?

I would assume so, considering on the Screwattack forums he announced that he was making a project called "Angry Videogame Nerd doom"

Yes I do.

Script 9 is the culprit. Reverse the ordering of your if statements and it should work.

The problem is that if the boss' health is less than (for example) 50, then it is also less than 100. Since the check for <100 comes first, the <50 check is never reached.

Here is the fixed code:

Code: Select all

script 9 (void) { 
   if (BossHealth == 0) { 
      //TODO: End boss 
   } else { 
      if (BossHealth < 25) { 
         SetFont("BOSSB1"); 
      } else if (BossHealth < 50) { 
         SetFont("BOSSB2"); 
      } else if (BossHealth < 75) { 
         SetFont("BOSSB3"); 
      } else if (BossHealth < 100) { 
         SetFont("BOSSB4"); 
      } 
      hudmessage(s:"a"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 999, CR_UNTRANSLATED, 0.1, 1.1, 1); 
      Delay(1); 
      Restart; 
   } 
}

That should fix the bar itself. If the actual health value isn't lowering, then it's probably something to do with how you're triggering script 11.

BTW, I noticed you're not setting it to any font if the boss' health is exactly 100. This would have the effect of printing the letter "A" on the screen. I'm assuming that's not what was intended?

If you don't make a weapon that arcs over players i'm suing you. Also it's a shame the AVGN himself won't be able to play this because he uses a mac

Don't forget three rocket launchers that shoot different looking rockets and use different ammo types, but the only difference between the three rockets being appearance and ammo amount!

(as in, all three rockets do the same damage, but one allows you to cary 80, one 40, one 20, or one 40, one 20, one 10, etc.)

Now it does lower, but it doesn't spawn the WallyBear actors.

Strange. The ACS here looks correct.

Make sure you have mapspots with the appropriate TIDs, that there's room for the actor's to spawn, etc. Also make sure nothing is unexpectedly changing the BossHealth variable.

Don't forget a weapon that does nothing at all. ;P

Well if we're making wads about "vlogs" (ugh) I call dibs on 400-Pound Hambeast Doom. It will have the greatest nose-vomit particle effects ever produced by decorate, and lard-jiggle sprite animation that would bring Scuba Steve to tears at it's quality.

Linkage, please. I've done a quick search on the Screwattack forums and found nothing.

I think the new thread is called The Angry Videogame Nerd TC for ZDoom or something. Since the server fall-down, the old thread has been lost.
