@ alysiumX: It stands for 'Wait for Doom Script'.

[alysiumX]

doom script?

[Sodaholic]

It's a new zdoom language for modding that's not out yet.

[Skunk]

Yeah, it's vaporware.

[alysiumX]

ok, lets try something simpler, how do i remove the plasma guns decal using the decal def?

[Sodaholic]

Have you even heard of the ZDoom Wiki?

[alysiumX]

ya i just dont quite under stand how to get the generator's exact name, would it be PlasmaBullet or whatever name it has in dehacked?

[Enjay]

Definitely not whatever it says in DEHACKED. The dehacked names only exist in in dehacked and nowhere else. They are just there to help you identify the various actors when you are using dehacked. You need to use the real names as Zdoom recognises them. The correct name for Zdoom is "PlasmaBall". To get a list of all the actors in Zdoom, start the program, bring down the console and type the following:

logfile log.txt
dumpclasses actor

Then quit and read the file log.txt that has been created in your Zdoom directory.

k thx

Hmm, I don't know if this would work, but in realtion to your original idea you might try stopping the player from moving on the Y axis by setting the sector's gravity to zero and then cancelling the y movement using a thrust from beneath. Would that work?

[Sodaholic]

Kirby, isn't gravity on the z axis? I though that the y axis was North/South.

[TheDarkArchon]

In ZDoom it is. Generally, though, gravity is on the y-axis, with the z-axis being in and out.

[solarsnowfall]

Back to the y axis thing... Maybe something along these lines?

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
    int y;
    y = GetActorY(0);
    while(TRUE)
    {
        SetActorPosition(0, GetActorX(0), y, GetActorZ(0), 0);
        delay(1);
    }
}

That basically fixes the activator to a single y axis position, the y position it was at when it activated the script. It sounds like what you want to do is a little more complicated than that, but maybe this is a step in the direction you want?
