The "How do I..." Thread

Is it possible to show the amount of one item in the hud?
As in, i have the Quartz Flask icon somewhere and want to have a number at the side showing the remaining quartz flasks.
I've checked DrawNumber but i don't see exactly what i'm looking for.

DrawNumber accepts inventory items as the <value> parameter, so you pass the class name of the quartz flask ([wiki=Classes:ArtiHealth]ArtiHealth[/wiki]) to it.

So A_railattack and A_customrailgun can use models as their particles, but is there a way to give these models the same pitch as the player fires the beam in? If they could just be made to "disperse" forward, the PITCHFROMMOMENTUM flag might sort it out if nothing else.

Edit: It would be even more amazing if it was possible to align each model/particle with the next one in line if MaxDiff is non-zero.

Is there a tutorial, text or video, on how to make new monsters with custom graphics?

Is it possible to make a Pwad/Pk3 request to use multiple IWADS as resources? I want to be able to take advantage of both Doom and Doom 2 textures without having to rip one apart to use it's resources.

How do I make an Item that increases the player.maxhealth?

Maybe this can help.

I see, but now there's a new problem. The UpgradeStamina actor also increases my health too much. I wanted to make something like a Health Bonus that also increases my max.health by 1.

[TheBadHustlex]

Inventory.Amount determines how much you want to increase the health. Stamina-Items always completely heal the player.
For your purposes, SetActorProperty and CustomInventory might be for you.

Damn. I didn't wanted to have to use ACS. But ok, thanks

As you should only ever be loading only one IWAD, absolutely not.

[Disc Primitive]

You can't even load more than one IWAD, right?

How do I, using slade (unfortunately not the new one, which strangely won't boot for me) make doors in UDMF which open / close with the use key? I can open the door fine, but using it will not close it. Apparently its something about a tag i need, but I can't find it...

[cocka]

Use [wiki]Door_Raise[/wiki] instead of [wiki]Door_Open[/wiki]. This way you can use both type of doors. If delay is 0, it's equal to the behaviour of Door_Open. If it's >0 then it will wait the tics defined and then close.
