ZScript Help: NienerWiener Template Spawning Modification [RESOLVED]

[Psychojack88]

Working on a companion mod and am trying to improve the spawning of a companion. At the moment the companion spawns exactly onto the same position of the player position. I just want to offset it to the back of the player or to the side.

This is the spawning handler code from a sample of one of NienerWiener's template code for which I based the companion on.

Code: Select all

Class FriendDoomGuySpawnHandler : EventHandler
{
	Override Void PlayerEntered(PlayerEvent e)
	{
		Let pl = players[e.PlayerNumber].mo;
		
		let dke = pl.Spawn("NNR_FriendEY",pl.pos,ALLOW_REPLACE);
		If(dke)
		{
			dke.Master = pl;
			dke.Translation = pl.Translation;
			dke.A_FaceMaster();
		}
	}
}

Currently this spawns the companion exactly onto the exact same position of the player, but can easily get in the way as soon as you play the more hectic maps.

Anyone know how to make the spawning position offset a little away from the player position? This is to prevent the player screen from being needlessly obscured, which can be annoying and intrusive for players on more hectic maps or wads where immediate reactions are necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I just went to the spawner and added a little (x,y,z) to the player position. Solved the problem right there.
