Okay... I'm almost there... I just had to fix the DECORATE actors' durations. It ALMOST works now... in the sense that it is printing "on the floor" and "in the air" correctly.

But it's not setting the player_isonfloor[] arrays properly either.

Dammit, I swear to God, ACS can really not make any sense at all... >=(

Anyway, I've updated the file above with the fix I mentioned. Now all I need help on is getting it to set the array properly, and I'm good to go!

If anyone else can help me on it, I'd appreciate it, too. ;)

player_isonfloor[ActivatorTID() - 9] is wrong, 1001 - 9 isnt 0. ActivatorTID() - PLAYER_TID

Actually, ActivatorTID() would return the TID of the FloorZChecker thing, not the player. Because it is the one that activated the script (called from their Spawn and Death states in DECORATE).

I wholly agree. That's how I worked out the controls for a certain mod envolving karts.

Yes, apparently it does. I must have... done something to it a few hours ago. I was apparently half-asleep again when I was at it.

Odd...

Hey, this is a bit like on old abandoned project of mine: Sample Picture

I started it a few years ago, but because of the limited features of ZDoom on that era, I could not complete it.

It uses my SPZDoom2 resources...

Well this is actually going to be more than just a Doom sidescroller. I won't release too much info right now but all I can say is... it will have nothing to do with Doom at all.

(omg sekrit lolol)
