Max Health (UPDATE: ACS questions)

[Captain Ventris]

I have several player classes, a couple of which have different player.maxhealth values. Most are at 300, while one is at 5000, and another at 2000.

In the wad there is also a script that repeatedly gives all players a one health point item:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Healthregen : Health 3103
{
  inventory.pickupmessage "You have healed a Health point."
  inventory.amount 1
  inventory.maxamount 10000
  inventory.icon "PTN2A0"
  states
  {
  Spawn:
    TNT1 A 4
    loop
  }
}

How do I make this item so that it will get players up to the desired maximum health, but not over, depending on the Player Class?

The solution is to do a check wherever you're giving the item. Since you said you're using an ACS script, have the script check the player's max health property and don't give them a health pickup if they've already reached it.

This would look something like this:

Code: Select all

script 1 ENTER
{
     if (GetActorProperty(0, APROP_SpawnHealth) > GetActorProperty(0, APROP_Health))
          GiveInventory("Healthregen", 1);

     delay(35);

     restart;
}

Oh, alright. That's not hard. Thanks. And it's an Enter script, so there is one for each player. Does a tid of 0 always indicate a player?

[HotWax]

A TID of 0 indicates the activator, who will always be a player in an ENTER script.

Ah, I see.

I understand how to do a Dynamic TID assigner, but I need something a little more specific.

I need to be able to set a goal as a certain, singular thing placed by a player. However, I need only the monsters summoned by that player to react and proceed to that goal.

I need a similar situation, but with toggling a Player's monsters to be frightened of the object.

Lastly, I need a certain, SINGLE type of monster to Thing_Hate an object placed by the player.

So, how would I use TID to indicate or control types of monsters, or by affiliation?



Also, I would love to Set_Translation for critters summoned by a player to be the same color as them (the recolorable bits, anyway). Would just making a translation script in the monster's spawn state work? But then, how would I make it work for every monster that is summoned? What would I put for the TID? The monster would be the activator, so 0, correct?
