Script for a working computer
Anyone know the script for something like this this? I'll explain. When you press the computer or something in doom and it starts booting up or doing something on the screen, i guess the later part is all texture work.
Re: Script for a working computer
Like you said, probably all texture work. From what you're describing, I'd say the whole thing could be done in ANIMDEFS, negating the need for a script completely.
Unless, of course, you're looking to implement some kind of functionality, in which case I'm in over my head

Re: Script for a working computer
I'd appriciate if you could explain further, im kind of newb when it comes to zdoom features and scripting, just started mapping in doom in hexen format a week ago.
Re: Script for a working computer
Read something about ANIMDEFS in zdoom wiki but could't undrestand much.
Re: Script for a working computer
ANIMDEFS is basically a lump that controls texture animations and is also used for things like switches. Say you have a texture (TEX01) with four frames (TEX01, TEX02, TEX03, TEX04), you'd set it up like this:
where tics is how long each frame displays for. The bigger the number, the slower the animation.
Now, let's say you have another texture (TEX00) which displays when the computer is off. To turn it "on" you'd have something like this underneath:
Now, because the animation for TEX01 is already defined above, the animation should complete.
Code: Select all
texture TEX01
pic 1 tics 5
pic 2 tics 5
pic 3 tics 5
pic 4 tics 5
Now, let's say you have another texture (TEX00) which displays when the computer is off. To turn it "on" you'd have something like this underneath:
Code: Select all
switch TEX00 on sound Switch1 pic TEX01 tics 0

Someone needs to find the person who made UAC install XP on their computers... and teleport that guy to the moon as punishment.

Could be that they wanted to avoid Vista.

Re: Script for a working computer
In mine, and many others experience, xp is the least buggy, and in almost everybody's eyes, the most compatible.(mostly because it's been active for 13 years)
Re: Script for a working computer
Ironically, my old music production computer, which kept me fed from 2007 to 2013, was an (unpatched!!!) XP machine... :P

In 'MindFuck' I also use some texture kludges to simulate functional computers:
