[Release]Creating a Soul Cube in the original DooM style

[Alvas]

It is quite a feat huh? haha

I just realized the cheat "GIVE ALL" charges the cube, I didn't think about that before.

[Alice Jameson]

The rotation is taking up more frames than I had originally thought. It's going to take 16 instead of the original 4 frames.

[Alvas]

damn, logically you'd think it would be 8 because now the cube has two sides you have to show independently, why would you need 12 on top of the original 4?

[DOOMERO-21]

create 2 death states;

projectile soulcube a damagetype for example:

damagetype "sc"


the monster:


death:

xxxx a 1 a_scream
xxxx a 1 a_givetotarget("soul",1)
xxxx a 1......



death.sc:

nothing special here just dont put the inventory for activate the soulcube, but if you want the soulcube give health to the player then:

death.sc:
xxxx a 1 acs_execute(999,0)

blah blah



script 999 void
{
if (GetActorProperty(playerid, APROP_HEALTH) < 100 && GetActorProperty(playerid, APROP_HEALTH) > 0)
{
acs_execute(998,0);
delay(5);
}
if (GetActorProperty(playerid, APROP_HEALTH) >= 100)
{
acs_terminate(998,0);
delay(1);
}
restart;
}


script 998 (void)
{
ambientsound("regeneration",127);
giveactorinventory(playerid,"health",5);
delay(5);
}

script 997 enter
{
if checkactorinventory(playerid,"soul")>4);
{
giveinventory("activate",1);
delay(1);
}
if checkactorinventory(playerid,"soul")<5);
{
takeinventory("activate",1);
delay(1);
}


now the weapon soulcube you need 2 ready states;

ready;
xxxx a 0 a_jumpifinventory("activate",1,"ready2")
xxxx a 1 a_weaponready(WRF_NOFIRE)
loop

ready2:
xxxx a 1 a_weaponready
loop

fire:

here for the attack of the soulcube, note only is enabled is "activate" is true....

something like this, this method i used on my mod usd3mod, maybe can help you this code...

I'm almost done with the base for most of it. When I finish these last few frames I'll post and then you'll see why it take 16.

We have all of these concepts already implemented, I will have a look at your cube though

[Alice Jameson]

It's not quite done yet but here is what I have so far. I haven't done the new pickup/firing sprites yet. This just demonstrates the rotation.

This is good I like how it looks I've fixed the appearance of the PNG sprites in XWE
What are you planning next?

[Alice Jameson]

Kay finished the sprites and edited the decorate slightly so that all the frames are accounted for.

Also the sprites are a bit better as png's otherwise these white pixels show up in the version you just uploaded as seen in this screenshot

[Alvas]

It looks amazing I have to say, Is there anything else you want to do with this? I'm about ready to put a cap on the project if there is nothing else.

[Alice Jameson]

No I'm quite happy with how it turned out. ^-^

Edit: Also my recommendation is do not worry about how sprites look in XWE, they look just fine in game and that's what counts. Also they look fine in Slade 3 too.

[JustinC]

i like the plain skull one.

[Alice Jameson]

Well both downloads are on here. ^-^ Or you could just edit the wad file. All of the original skull frames are still in there. You'd just have to some editing to the decorate and such.

[Alvas]

I agree we've made several files throughout the progression, it was fun working on it ill put up an official release thread or convert this one to it once I get home

[Alice Jameson]

Sounds good.
