The "How do I..." Thread

How do i make a custom scoreboard or add additional values to the classic doom scoreboard intermission? Like, on top of having the kill/items/secrets %, maybe put the ammount of a specific item found or score-specific inventory item that is added by killing monsters?

I'm having trouble with script execute 80 special. I want to add this to multiple linedefs because of the layout of a map I'm working on. What I want to do is make it where all I have to do is pass over one linedef and have the script execute activate only once instead of it happening multiple times when I pass over the other linedefs assigned to this script. How do I do this?

Please tell me why this line of code always returns "angle == 0"?
The angle of the actor set and 0 and 180, and so on .. always work "angle == 0"

Code: Select all

States{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 1 {
if(angle != 0) {
A_PrintBold("angle != 0");
}
else
{
A_PrintBold("angle == 0");
}
}

Please help) if(velX == 0) //Such a condition does not work
I suspect that the rest will not work inside anonymous functions, such as velY, VelZ etc.
I can write the condition is simply wrong?

i've made a custom chaingun and i've made it so that it inherits all properties from original chaingun.
but on Zandronum when i take out the weapon it's still called chaingun, how can i make it so that it's called "SausequatchMG"?

Code: Select all

actor SausagequatchMG: Chaingun{
AttackSound "weapons/shotgf"
States{
 Fire:
    CHGG AB 2 A_FireBullets(10, 10, 1, 25, "BulletPuff")
    CHGG B 0 A_ReFire
     Goto Ready
}
}

I have no idea how to do the following:
1) Remove Save Button.
2) Have autosaves overwrite eachother.
3) Upon death respawning you at a specific spot instead of going to previous save.

There's an actor property called "Tag". Put "SausagequatchMG" as the weapon's tag, and it will show up as that.

You'll have to disable intermissions in MAPINFO and then script your own intermission system to replace it. KDIZD did it, if you need an example.

Oh, thanks. Now, time to figure out how exactly it works ...

Could you post the entirety of that DECORATE code?

I've created a script that allows multiple crushers to activate at the same time. My question is. How do I make it to where the crushers will move at independently to make it more difficult for the player instead of at the same time?

[NeuralStunner]

I have no idea how to do the following:
1) Remove Save Button.

You don't.

2) Have autosaves overwrite eachother.

Again, you don't. It's a user option for a reason.

3) Upon death respawning you at a specific spot instead of going to previous save.

MapInfo's AllowRespawn flag will let the player respawn multiplayer-style, so you could use a [wiki=Script_types#RESPAWN]respawn script[/wiki] to move them. (Though if the intent is to muck about with saving, don't. Just don't.)
