Damage Factor Failure

[dbj87jb]

Made a few & use enemies that are resistant to elements (mostly fire)... I know how to set it up and up until now, it was working on several enemies...

But since using gzdoom-g2.2pre-1256-g328047e & updating GZDoom Builder with the latest updates... Fire resistance doesn't seem to work...
Example from Diabloist by Tormentor667... I know +ResistFire doesn't work so I added in "DamageFactor Fire,0" & tried "DamageFactor "Fire",0" but it's still taking damage from Fire damaging weapons that have Damage Type Fire (I HAVE checked that the weapons used deal fire damage too)...

Is anybody else having problems with damage resistance & any suggestions on what I can do?

Remove FIRERESIST flag and keep DamageFactor Fire, 0.

FIRERESIST overrides the custom damagetype it appears.

It does, indeed. +FIRERESIST is exactly the same as typing 'DamageType Fire, 0.25', and since it comes last it takes priority.

Thank you

+FIRERESIST is exactly the same as typing 'DamageType Fire, 0.25'

Code: Select all

case DEPF_FIRERESIST:
		info->SetDamageFactor(NAME_Fire, set ? 0.5 : 1.);
		break;

Wouldn't it be 'DamageType Fire, 0.5'?

[Graf Zahl]

Whatever. The logic is the same.

Thanks for the help. Wasn't entirely sure where (which page on the forums) to ask about this, so, sorry if it's in the wrong section. But I really appreciate your help. I had all the resistances working a few months ago, but lost all the files with the recent changes after some problems wiped them out.

I looked up things like damage factors etc, on the wiki & saw +FireResist is now a "redundant" state to add & you needed to use Damage Factors for elemental damage... Because of that, I didn't think having both would effect the outcome (or rushed to fix everything too quickly), but removed the +FireResist & just left the damage factor for Fire.

Everything is fixed, I've made the "Diabloist " resistant to all fire damage & some of my own allies & enemies that use Flame-throwers that took damage, aren't being killed by their own fire attacks. This was a major headache for a custom Mancubus I've made that uses a flame-thrower & fire is also spawned from floor hugging explosion, being a large target, it used to easily get trapped or walk over it's own fire, & killing itself or weakening itself for you lol.
