An object checking when a olayer is within it's collision box constantly

[XLightningStormL]

I'm aware of CanCollideWith and CollidedWith; but the issue is that they are one and done affairs if the player stands still within them, what I need is a way to check when the player is within that collided objects collision box constantly - even when standing still, say like Half-Life 1's Alien Healing Pools

Alternatively if this system is too scawy or too hard; A way for said objects Tick() function to get access to a players' inventory (said to check for a health bonus) for the purposes of an increased tick delay or whatever in conjunction with A_RadiusGive, though I'd theoretically imagine such a way may even be harder.

Maybe, make the said object a non-moving projectile and override its SpecialMissileHit? The wiki article https://zdoom.org/wiki/SpecialMissileHit has an example. If only player needs to be affected, check

Code: Select all

if (victim is PlayerPawn)

Actors don't check for collision if they're not moving. You'll have to do collision checks manually if you want something like this, either by iterating over the players array, or by using a function like TryMove. (Iterating over the players array and doing bounding box checks manually is generally going to be both more reliable and cheaper, though)

This isn't a problem anymore. Ended up getting what I wanted with a BlockThingsIterator in an overridden Tick() void.
