Any way to apply Floor_Waggle through ZScript?

Hi, another question:
Is there any way to apply Floor_Waggle effect to a sector, based on sectorlist and floor texture?

It's no problem to call Floor_Waggle from ZScript, but you don't need iterating through the sectorlist, because Floor_Waggle uses a tag, and you can obtain everything from a sector in ZScript, except it's tag.

Just use Floor_waggle like you use it in ACS, with specifying the tag the sector(s) will have to be given in the editor. Or just use it from a ACS script.


EDIT: (fyi) iterating thru a sectorlist is very easy in ZSCRIPT:

example getting the id of a floor texture:

Code: Select all

for (int zz=0; zz< level.sectors.Size(); zz++) 
{   
   TextureId id = GetTexture(0); // 0 = floor texture, 1 = ceiling texture
}

I would rather use a tagless way to apply effects to floors, because the tagged way seems useful only for new maps.

In that case you will have to do the moving of the sectors yourself. It is possible to raise and lower floors directly in ZScript. I do not have the time at the moment to create an example, but I'll give you the code of the base map thinker class and an example of the subclass thinker for MAP01 of my project. It contains code to queue events like raising or lowering floors, and callbacks to the subclass when ready. Maybe it's helpful for you if you know how to program; just remove all the stuff you don't need.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the code in my example, still obtains sectors with a specific tag. You will have to replace that by iterating thru the level sectors. In the floor raise/lower functions in my code you can find example code where the actual moving of the planes is done without sector tags.
