how to make a health pickup leave behind trash.

[Connorpo1221]

I want it so when they walk over it and use say a health item, it then spawns in an item that's just an empty version of it. I use decorate and have tried but can't seem to get it to work I've tried the pickup ,drop, and use states but neither worked

Define the trash item (the "empty" version):

Code: Select all

actor HealthTrash : Decoration
{
    +NOBLOCKMAP
    +NOGRAVITY
    Radius 16
    Height 16
    States
    {
    Spawn:
        TRSH A -1
        Stop
    }
}

The above is a very generic post that does not really address the question - possibly a bot.

@Connorpo1221 please post your code. It's almost impossible to figure out what's wrong from "can't seem to get it to work".

I'd just make a CustomInventory that gives you some health and then spawns a trash object when picked up.

This. If you're limiting to DECORATE, this is really the only way to do it.

In ZScript it's much easier; override https://zdoom.org/wiki/CollidedWith of the pickup, if it's a player then give them some health and set the state to the death state, which can have an "empty bottle" (or whatever) sprite. Otherwise, ignore the collision and do nothing.
