A_Settranslation not working(?)

[AnotherLurker]

I use decorate for a lot of my modding, and I came across the "A_Settranslation" function and thought it'd be awesome to use.

Going by what the zdoom wiki says, it requires a lump named TRNSLATE, with a line in it like this (used the example from the page itself)

GreenDemon = "16:47=112:127", "169:191=152:159"

But when I try to use it in doom itself, via the function on a demon like so

SARG A 6 A_SetTranslation (GreenDemon)
or SARG A 6 A_SetTranslation ("GreenDemon")

Both times, it gives me Script error, "TransTest.wad:DECORATE" line 25: Invalid parameter 'a_settranslation'

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Post whole DECORATE lump.

1. This cannot be investigated without the rest of your DECORATE, because some error in the previous line may be responsible.
2. What version of GZDoom are you using?

[AnotherLurker]

Code: Select all

ACTOR TransDemon : Demon
{
States
{
  Pain:
    SARG H 2 Fast A_SetTranslation (GreenDemon)  // I tried with and without quotes, both don't work
    SARG H 2 Fast A_Pain
    Goto See
  }
}

And the TRNSLATE lump's contents, which is just this.

Code: Select all

GreenDemon = "16:47=112:127", "169:191=152:159"

And the error is

Script error, "TransTest.wad:DECORATE" line 6:
Invalid parameter 'a_settranslation'

I'm currently using Zdoom 2.9pre (or the full name of the folder, zdoom-2.9pre-1216-gca8ef7f)

I'll try downloading a newer version of zdoom to see if that fixes it.

Oh there we go! Just realized I was way behind on my zdoom's build, the newest one is 2175.

Downloaded it, and the function worked like a charm! Well, this makes things MUCH easier for a coming project of mine.

Sorry for the trouble, thanks for the support.

EDIT: Wait what? Why is my rank "Site Admin"?.. Don't you think that's a little generous? I just lurk here.

ZDoom is no longer in development. All discussions happen here are about GZDoom mostly.
