Thing_SetGoal()

Post by Nanami »

This is more of a technicality than a bug, but...

In ZDoom, you don't have to use teleport landing as a teleport landing... You can tag a map spot, or whatever. Also, when you make things hate something, it can be anything... maybe a particle fountain if you feel like.

I was wondering how come Thing_SetGoal only works if you tell it to follow a patrol point. Shouldn't it try to follow ANYTHING with that tid? If it did, you could make monsters circle monuments... or follow other monsters... or even follow the player.

Not if you use Thing_Hate. In conjunction with that, you could make "pets" for the player.

This is true, there's no good way to make monsters that follow the player and yet attack other monsters.

Don't give Randy any ideas for more stuff he could add to ZDoom before the 'official' release. ;) (Although I'd like to see MBF's monster AI enhancements in a source port that is actually mapped for. This stuff sounds really interesting but I haven't seen a single map to use it so far. :( )

Patrol points have extra information attached to them that Thing_SetGoal relies on.

Why do I always get MBF and MDK mixed up?
