Bleh yeah!

I will wait patiently for .97 to come out, so Wiki can help meh.

I still have need of something like this for destroyable items:

Code: Select all

void A_UnSetSpecial (AActor *self)
{
	self->flags &= ~MF_SPECIAL;
}

Out of curiosity, if I wanted to make my own exe, how would I add it to the codepointer list? Do I just stick "FUNC(A_UnSetSpecial, NULL)" somewhere in the "AFuncDesc AFTable[]=" block?

Also, would it someday be possible to set an item's use function to run a codepointer and/or action special like a state? I think it can be done. Maybe I should try and do it myself. I am not exactly a coder though. Let's see if I got the steps right: 1. Put "{ "inventory.useaction", (apf)InventoryUseAction, RUNTIME_CLASS(AInventory) }," somwhere in the "ActorProps props[] =" block. 2. Create a static "static void InventoryUseAction (Inventory *defaults, Baggage &bag)" function which does the following: SC_MustGetString(), Split the sting into the codepointer/action special name and any parameters, look up the codepointer/action special, store the codepointer/action special somewhere, and set's the item's "Use" function to some other function. 3. Make the inventory use function which will recall all the data stored in InventoryUseAction, and run the codepointer/action special as if the player had. I am not entirely sure how to do all of that. Is there an easier way?

Then again, I would have to convert all the project files ZDoom uses anyway because my copy of Visual C++ is out of date if I wanted to compile anything anyway...

If it hasn't changed since around the time when thingdef was new, then yes that is all you need to do basically.

Also, check the wiki for info on how to convert the project files and upgrade VS .net (I cant be bothered to check the link, but it is on the recent changes list)

Another thing I've noticed is that Weapon.AmmoGive does not appear to work (correctly). I haven't extensively tested where the problem originates, but every single DECORATE weapon only gives 2 ammo when picked up. Now, I have the weapons ordered as so:

Code: Select all

ACTOR IceGrenadeLauncher : Weapon 20018
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 2 
} 

ACTOR IceLauncherPowered : IceGrenadeLauncher
{ 
	+POWERED_UP 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 0 
} 

ACTOR Railgun : Weapon 20020
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 10
} 


ACTOR AutoRailgun : Railgun
{ 
	+POWERED_UP 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 0 
} 

ACTOR SekreetWeapon : Weapon 20019
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 10 
} 

ACTOR SuperSekreetWeapon : SekreetWeapon
{ 
	+POWERED_UP 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 0 
} 

ACTOR BombLauncher : Weapon 20000
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 2
} 

ACTOR SuparMiniMissileLauncher : Weapon 20001
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 2
} 

ACTOR SuperSuparMiniMissileLauncher : SuparMiniMissileLauncher
{ 
	+POWERED_UP 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 0 
} 

ACTOR SekreetWeapon2 : Weapon 20021
{ 
	Weapon.AmmoGive 2 
}

I'll try experimenting with the first and last weapons and see which one affects all of the other weapons.

EDIT: It's the last weapon that affects all the others.

Zdoom won't run it.

[Graf Zahl]

Of course not! This code hasn't been officially incorporated yet! Use the EXE that can be found somewhere in this thread.

[Finalizer]

Well, that, and I believe there was a problem with the ammo since it wasn't defined (I think that was the problem... I never actually ran that test file, and have yet to start making ammo-using weapons for my own project). Simply change the ammo type in Graf's example to something already defined ("Clip"), and I don't think there's any reason why it wouldn't work.

Is it just me or does the weapon AttackSound not work?

They are already defined as existing ammo types, I just only put in all the extremely relevant information.

New undocumented (because Graf is EVEEL) weapon stuff for you people who are using this version:

A_FireBullets(h-spread,v-spread,pellets,damage,(unused?),ammo)
A_RailAttack(damage,x-offset,ammo)

Is it just me or does the weapon AttackSound not work?

AttackSound works with A_FireBullets.

[Anakin S.]

Would it be possible to add an angle parameter to A_SpawnItem? With that we could emulate the firestorm circle of flames and the pain elemental's death.

AttackSound works with A_FireBullets.

Oh. So that's why it didn't work for me. I was only spawning missiles. Thanks.

Sure. But it still won't thrust the object so you wouldn't be able to emulate the Pain Elemental with it unless you make the change in the spawned monster.

A Question: How difficult would it be to add another variable for scaling the on-screen view of the weapon? It seems odd that this is available for all other sprites in DECORATE, but not the weapons...

And yes, I know, I know "code it yourself, blah, blah..." If I could get .96 to compile, I would try... the last version I could compile was .63a.

[Graf Zahl]

You have to ask Randy about that. I never really bothered understanding the rendering code.
