Item = 1 when changing the map?

[Tormentor667]

I have a question concerning a problem I have in ZDoom/GZDoom. I created a marine reinforcement item that looks like this:

Code: Select all

actor MarineItem : CustomInventory 25003
{
  inventory.pickupmessage "Marine Reinforcements"
  inventory.maxamount 10
  inventory.icon MARHA0
  +INVENTORY.INVBAR 
  +FLOATBOB
  scale 0.5
  states
  {
  Spawn:
   	MARP A -1
    	stop 
  Pickup:
  	NULL A 1 A_PlaySound("pickup") 
  	stop
  Use: 
        NULL A 1 A_SpawnItem("TeleportFog", 64, 16, 0, 1)
        NULL A 0 A_Jump(128, 4)
        NULL A 0 A_Jump(128, 2)
        NULL A 0 A_SpawnItem("STMarineShotgun", 64, 16, 0, 1)
        NULL A 0 A_SpawnItem("STMarineChaingun", 64, 16, 0, 1)
        NULL A 0 A_Jump(128, 2)
        NULL A 0 A_SpawnItem("STMarineSSG", 64, 16, 0, 1)
        NULL A 0 A_Jump(128, 2)
        NULL A 0 A_SpawnItem("STMarineRocket", 64, 16, 0, 1)
        NULL A 0 A_SpawnItem("STMarinePlasma", 64, 16, 0, 1)
  	stop
  }
}

Everything works fine with it except one thing: When I have collected 2 or more of these items and exit one level, I only have one left of these items in the next upcoming level. It's always the same, no matter how many items I have, it's always only one after changing the maps. What's wrong? How can I prevent this?

That's just the default map behavior for non-hubbed maps. All inventory items get reduced to one, à la Heretic. Add "keepfullinventory" to the MAPINFO entry to prevent this behvaior.

Thx Zippy That does the job

You know what's funny? Maps from different hubs each are non-hubbed to each-other, right? But in Hexen that setting-to-one behaviour doesn't happen; you stay with all items except the Wings, making the game quite easy on skills less than 5.

This is probably switched on for when you are playing stock Hexen.

When playing hubs the items are never reduced to 1, even if you change hubs. When this was implemented it was done in the most minimalistic way possible to make Hexen work.

Conceptually speaking, yes, but that isn't how I meant it. I basically meant non-hubbed as a set of maps that doesn't use hubs.
