CheckActorCeilingTexture ignores F_SKY1

[Guest]

script "windsound" ENTER
{
if (CheckActorCeilingTexture(0, "F_SKY1"))
print (s:"You're outside!");
else
print (s:"You're inside!");

delay(1);
restart;
}

Prints "You're inside!" even if I am under the skybox.
And it works fine with another textures, but not with F_SKY1

It does work when you include #include "zcommon.acs" at the top,
like so

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "windsound" ENTER
{
if (CheckActorCeilingTexture ( 0, "F_SKY1") )
print (s:"You're outside!");
else
print (s:"You're inside!");

delay(1);

restart;
}

What game did you test this on? Hexen and Strife use different names for the sky texture.

Perhaps a dedicated "CheckActorOutside" function could be useful because the sky flat can be changed and there's also sector type 87.

I have like this:

in gameinfo section of ZMapInfo lump:

Code: Select all

skyflatname = "F_SKY1"

in ACS:

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "windsound" (void)
{
 if (CheckActorCeilingTexture(0, "F_SKY1"))
    print (s:"You're outside!");
 else
    print (s:"You're inside!");

 delay(1);
 restart;
}

Yeah this is exactly what i`m trying to do but how can I when it ignores "F_SKY1"?

Please post your map. We can guess all we want but we need to see the problem in action to give any further advice.

Solved!

while looking through the pk3 have found the cause. There was not "flats" folder with "F_SKY1" flat.
thanks anyway
