Special Operations: Action Tactical mod [Beta 2 Release!]

[Bitterman]

Mod looks great, they're nice old sprites unlike RGA's weapon rips. (Which don't look very nice in Doom.)

I know everyone asks so I'll place in spoiler:

---

ETA?

[TheDarkArchon]

Oh sweet! I did not know that mod existed!

As for the berserk fists, I tried following the sister weapon route like Wildweasel's Diaz remake, but i keep getting this error:

"fists" is an unknown actor property

What am I doing wrong?

Load order issue: Put fists ABOVE Fists2 in DECORATE.

[lizardcommando]

Ah, that's what was wrong. Thank you.

[lizardcommando]

Alright, so I was taking a look at Cybermind's example of the laser guided rocket launcher. I put into my mod, but it won't work. The primary function works fine but it's the secondary function that is giving me problems. The laser pointer shows up and I can move it around, but the rocket doesn't. All I get is the explosion sound repeating itself over and over and over again and I can't switch that weapon out to anything else. It'll be stuck forever with it. I have no idea what I am doing wrong with it.

and here's the ACS portion of it:

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"
#library "SPECOPS"

int dead=0;

script 100 (int x,int y,int z){
SetActorPosition(785,x<<16,y<<16,z<<16,false);
}

script 101 (int tid){
GiveActorInventory(tid,"CheckDead",1);
}

script 102 (int tid){
SetResultValue(CheckActorInventory(tid,"CheckDead"));
}

Ok, I solved one tiny bit of the problem. I guess I had to add in the Spawn ID for the "NEWROCKET" actor. I can have the rocket spawn when I use the secondary function, but I still have the problem of not being able to shoot anymore rockets and having the sound repeat itself over and over again. Not sure what's going on.

[trying to figure out how to make berserk work with a custom weapon]

Okay, slow down. You're over-complicating it.

Code: Select all

Actor Fist2 : Fist Replaces Fist
{
States
{
Fire:
    TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfInventory ("PowerStrength", 1, "Berserk") //Check for the powerup, if it's there then goto "Berserk". A_Punch checks for it automatically and adjusts the damage, but A_CustomPunch does not.
    PUNG B 4
    PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch (4)
    PUNG D 5
    PUNG C 4
    PUNG B 5 A_ReFire
    Goto Ready
Berserk:
    PUNG B 4
    PUNG C 4 A_CustomPunch (40) //Does 10 times more damage
    PUNG D 5
    PUNG C 4
    PUNG B 5 A_ReFire ("Fire") //Not really necessary with Doom's default infinite-duration powerup, but needed if you make it timed.
    Goto Ready
}

Actor Berserk2 : Berserk Replaces Berserk //Optional, see below.
{
  States
  {
  Pickup:
    TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("PowerStrength")
    TNT1 A 0 HealThing(100, 0)
    TNT1 A 0 A_SelectWeapon("Fist2") //Change to the new "fist" weapon, rather than the original.
    Stop
  }
}

This should work out-of-the-box, except that obviously you won't start with "Fist2".

[lizardcommando]

Oh, so that whole "sister weapon" route wasn't really necessary? The way I have it right now, the powerup is timed. Plus, I have it so that the powered up version has more weapon kickback to make enemies fly when I punch and kick them while berserk (not literally, but pretty damn far, especially with the kick!).

[ChronoSeth]

Not at all. In fact, it's probably the worst way of doing it.

As for your other problem, change the library's name to exactly 8 characters. IIRC it is required, but the wiki fails to mention it.

[lizardcommando]

Ok, the berserk thing's been fixed aside from having the secondary kick not being affected by the berserk. The laser-guided rocket is still having the same problem.

[lizardcommando]

Still having problems with the ACS for the laser-guided rocket launcher... does anyone want to try and take a look at the wad itself?

[Zombieguy]

I don't have much experience in ACS. :/

But good luck man.

[ChronoSeth]

If you make a quick wad which just has the rocket launcher, I can have a look at it. I need something to do anyway.

[lizardcommando]

Alright, check your PM for the link.

[lizardcommando]

Can someone else try and help fix the coding for the Laser-Guided Rocket Launcher? ChronoSeth tried to fix it, but he was stumped by some problems he ran into. Here's a link to my version of the Laser-Guided Rocket Launcher.

And just for reference, here's the laser guided-rocket launcher from Cybermind that I based this off of:

Not much help here, just study the Rocket Launcher code and see anything that gives it the guiding.

[lizardcommando]

That's what I have been trying to do. I haven't had much luck trying to fix it.
