ZDoom

This is a neat little bit of code that I'm using in a (yet unannounced) project that I am working on.
I thought I'd share the code because of the possibilities it opens up.

It's based on Linguica's gravity gun, but works vastly different, and the only real similarity is the math used, and even that is slightly changed.
Also, the object held will be affected by the player's pitch too.

Summon the class "pHealthBonus" and press use on it to pick it up.

Regular version
Multiplayer-compatible version*

* Work-in-progress, this should work exactly as the regular version does, except it should work online too. Currently untested online.

Huh, could be useful for picking up medkits into a demon battle.

It gets a little wonky around level geometry, but this is really cool. Certainly better than my bash at this kind of thing (think meleeattack with custom damagetype + A_Warp)

I can imagine someone making a mod that makes medkits grabbable, and then grabbing them at full health and hogging them all in a corner while they're surrounded.

I guess the wonkiness around level geometry could be fixed with a few little workarounds. The method you mentioned could actually be combined with this to make it Zandronum compatible. The custom meleeattack would cause the actor to use a slightly-edited version of the script that causes the object to be held by the player.

can i use this? because picking up grenades and tossing them away from you would be awesome.
