FighterBoss attack problems

[SilentRage]

So I rename all of the Hexen Fighter Sprites in my PK3 and then make a new DECORATE actor that is the exact same as FighterBoss except it uses the new sprite names.

Then I get this error:
Script error, "Hexen 4 All.pk3:decorate.txt" line 19:
action functions can only be imported by internal class and actor definitions!

Execution could not continue.

Script error, "Hexen 4 All.pk3:decorate.txt" line 38:
Invalid state parameter a_fighterattack


Is there a way to do this? I'm sure I could use "A_CustomMissile" but I wouldn't know how to replicate the exact behaviour of his attack.

Inherit from the original boss.

[SilentRage]

You can't. That would inherit the sprite names too.

[NeuralStunner]

You obviously redefined the states already anyway. Do that with the inherited class.

[Killar]

You can't. That would inherit the sprite names too.

Try it first...

[SilentRage]

So yeah, I made him inherit from FighterBoss but deleting his attacking section, right?

He turns into the Doomguy when he attacks.

[Graf Zahl]

Of course he does. If you don't want to use an inherited state label you have to clear it in your subclass. Do that by defining that label and immediately adding a 'stop' command without any states.

[SilentRage]

This?

Code: Select all

	Missile:
		stop

He doesn't shoot then.




I have a question: why can't he use A_FighterAttack? That would solve everything.

[Graf Zahl]

If you inherit from the original fighter boss you can use it.

[NeuralStunner]

And then change the sprite names.

[SilentRage]

OK... weird...

I thought when I originally had the error, I was inheriting. Turns out I wasn't.

Nevermind. LOL

You wouldn't want to use A_FighterAttack anyway, since it only goes straight out horizintally (no vertical aiming whatsoever). This is how it worked in original Hexen.
