ZDoom

Hello, was wonding if theres a way to create a player taunting system. I found a bunch of sweet swearing files and would liek to use them as player taunts using a hotkey. I reckon we would need to use acs functions? Thanks.

Take a look at wildweasel's Diaz wad. You can taunt and aggro enemies with the reload button if you have fists out.

If you don't want to replace the playerclasses and you don't want to use ZScript (or you don't want this to be dependent on a custominventory item remaining in the player's inventory), ACS will be required.

Here's how it's done in HD:
new keybind defined to a custom command

custom command defined to use a custominventory item

custominventory item given to player at start
(ignore the surrounding code, it's usually better to just do this as a player.startitem or to give the item on an ACS ENTER script (and RESPAWN for deathmatch compatibility) or ZScript PlayerEntered (and PlayerRespawned) event)

custominventory shoots a projectile that calls A_AlertMonsters
(you can just call A_AlertMonsters directly but it's weird to have someone respond to what you say just as you begin talking - there are more efficient ways to create this delay in ZScript now but I won't get into that unless asked)
