Testing a radio mechanic in my mod. Surprised how it worked out exactly how I imagined it would, given that that rarely happens with anything I do

Can you post the code? I'd love to see it and see how it... tics.

No, seriously though.

No, seriously though.

haaaaaah tics

Sure thing though. It's really simple in theory. It's a one-two combo of ACS and DECORATE. Make 2 very simple dummy inventory items in DECORATE with a max of 1 each. Make a repeating linedef that runs a script similar to this:

---

Code: Select all

script 15 (void)
{
if (CheckInventory("RadioStation") == 0)
{
    GiveInventory("RadioStation",1);
    TakeInventory("RadioStatic",1);
    }
else
{
    TakeInventory("RadioStation",1);
    GiveInventory("RadioStatic",1);
}
}

... Which basically checks to see if the player already has an inventory item, and if it doesn't, it replaces it with the other.

For the radio weapon, itself, code it so when it gets to the ready stage, it looks something like this:

---

Code: Select all

Ready:
	RDIO A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("RadioStation",1,"RadioStationGo")
	RDIO A 0 A_PlaySound("tuning",5,1,256,0)
    RDIO F 1 A_WeaponReady
	RDIO A 0 A_JumpIfInventory("RadioStation",1,"RadioStationPlay")
Loop

RadioStationGo, in this case, jumps straight to the idle frames where it plays the looping sound. RadioStationPlay occurs when the player is holding the weapon as he has his inventory swapped, so it jumps to a different state where it plays the weird static effect, but then goes to RadioStationGo in the end. That's just for aesthetic purposes, you could eliminate RadioStationPlay entirely. I just think it sounds better than if it suddenly jumped.

Likewise, in the RadioStationGo state, it is essentially a duplicate Ready state with the exact code as the normal ready, but replace the inventory RadioStation with RadioStatic. Same principle applies.

How, you ask, are they up to the task?
To which the answer is in a simple facility.

The amount of awesome in that screenshot is overwhelming!
Love the Amnesia reference in the title too

i hope it doesn't have any ponies blood 'n gutz.

i hope it doesn't have any ponies blood 'n gutz.

you don't wanna read the fanfic, then. i don't think the song counts, since it doesn't imply anything about death, only that "your fears and horrors come true" and that "not a single soul gets through".

[The Zombie Killer]

I always found that Awoken made the death part more apparent

[Captain J]

i mean, inside of that wad, but not too many. i already know that fanfic is total bloody 'n gore among with cupcake.

is the L in that name capitalized?

[The Zombie Killer]

@Kate
That looks genuinely awesome!
What kind of gameplay style are you going for?

[Captain J]

is the L in that name capitalized?

that green L is almost same as other L...so yes, i think so.

also i see the losta red colors at those liquids of rainbow...and it sure does looking good, i say.

[Kate]

is the L in that name capitalized?

Nnnnnnnnope. That's just how the original font was.

What kind of gameplay style are you going for?

Maaaaaybe it was more than just a reference.
