Monsters that Attack other monsters

[ADooMFan]

Hi, I am a sort of new modder and I am new to this website. I'm wondering if there is a way to Have some monsters (Zombiemen for example) attack other monsters AND you.

Welcome to the forums; I've moved your question to Editing, as it is not a Project.

This is a good question, I wanted to ask the same for Flappers and Laphodorms for the Mist level. Flappers and Laphodorms always attack other mist creatures, and will only take advantage on da player when he gets too close (just like in the movie). Looks like you were quicker
I believe it's sort of a decorate-working, but I don't know any bit of DECORATE...

You'll generally use [wiki]Thing_Hate[/wiki] for that, so you need to know your way around [wiki]ACS[/wiki].

If you are looking for making a specific scene where a zombieman attack other monsters, do what Gez said with Thing_Hate. But if you can make it in a generic way and make all monsters infight, make the zombieman spawn one actor on every cycle of his See animation. Spawn an actor like this:

Code: Select all

actor ZombiemanTaunt
{
Radius 10
Height 10
DamageType ZombiemanTaunt
+NOGRAVITY
+NOTELEPORT
+NODAMAGETHRUST
+THRUGHOST
+NORADIUSDMG
+NOEXTREMEDEATH
+FORCERADIUSDMG
PROJECTILE
+DEHEXPLOSION
+ACTIVATEMCROSS
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0 A_Explode(3,600)
Stop
 }
}

Then, make the zombieman and the player to be imune against "ZombiemanTaunt" damage. Then the monsters that get close will take some minor damage and will engage the zombieman in combat. Then, do the same thing with other monsters, and they will all fight against each other.
