is this a bug

Post by Chris Couleur »

Hi,
I'm useing spawn projectile to spawn a monster so it appears the monster(s) are jumping over a wall. It works fine but they spawn every time the line that activates them is crossed even though the line is not checked as repeatable. Anyone know what's up with this.
Thanks Chris

The only thing I can think of is that it is checked repeatable effect.....

Actually, He's right. The line can be activated more than once, no matter what the repeatable flag is set to. See attatched wad.

Also, are you the same Chris Couleur who worked on Eternal Doom? Heh, That's a silly question, I guess. :P

There are 2 problems in P_Thing_Projectile:

1. When more than one projectile is spawned only the status of the last one is returned.
2. If a non-projectile is spawned the function always returns false (a.k.a. failure)

Xaser,
Glad to see i'm right about this and that i'm not losing my mind. Does Randy read these? Maybe he can check it out or should i email him?

yes i'm the same guy who worked on Eternal. I've been working on and off on my own stuff for that last few years but just hooked up with another guy who wanted to use te eternal resource set. I've actualy put together a much better texture set that uses eternal and a lot of other stuff i've collected and made over the years which we are useing. The other guy dale harris, posted a message in doomworld looking for more people to join in. You should check it out and anyone else who wants to. Go to Doomworld forums/wads and mods/page4 (as of today)/eternal resources and maps

Of course he does. Don't worry, it will eventually get fixed.

In the meantime you can just shove the function call into a script and have the line ACS_Execute the script. That will ensure that it only happens once.
