Is it possible to do this strife selection menu in doom?

[Niphura]

As the title says I would like to know if you can make a menu like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1li80fG ... roductions
in which when you press a number you choose a weapon for the slotnumber

With ACS, not a problem. How, that's the question

[wildweasel]

I wonder if GleasSpty's Weapon Wheel may be of use to you as a base. Don't know about manual slot assignment, though. In both cases you'd probably have to contact whoever made those projects to figure out how it got done.

It should be doable to implement a weapon slot editor in ZScript, the only thing that'd require native support is saving them to the config. At the moment this needs to be done manually by copy/paste.

Is there any way to select another weapon without raising or lower the weapon? i want that the other weapon just appears instead of the other when you press the slotnumber of the weapon

ACS:

Code: Select all

SetPlayerProperty (0, 1, PROP_INSTANTWEAPONSWITCH);

ZScript

Code: Select all

PlayerInfo player = players[consoleplayer];
if (player.cheats & CF_INSTANTWEAPSWITCH == false)
	player.cheats |= CF_INSTANTWEAPSWITCH;  // add flag

I know you probably will not, but could you please apply it to this weapon?

Here you go

EDIT: I forgot you asked for this weapon only; I applied it as a common feature.
Do you want that it's only done when the player is carrying the autogun? Anyway, you now have ACS as a start.

Good job! well, my idea was to make a weapon wheel that works in the following way:
When you select a weaponslot (slot 1,2,3...) the weapon does not lower or raise but instead, when selecting a certain weapon, a default weapon sprite appears (in which the weapon wheel appears) only for a 1 second and then the sprite of the default weapon appears without the weaponwheel and ready to use ... I do not know if you understood as you can see it is a more a visual than functional thing, I do not want to select the weapon using the weaponweel. the weapon will be selected from the keyboard normally

[gwHero]

If I understand you correctly, that would not be to difficult.
In Decorate, when the weapon is selected, jump to a custom state that shows a weapon wheel hud sprite during 35 tics, and after that just goto the ready state. It can be done in many ways, but I think this is an easy way to do it.

Could you give me an example of how the state of the weapon would look in Decorate?

[gwHero]

It's even more easy, you don't have to leave the Select state. Add a sprite that represents the wheel, i.e. WHEEA0 and change the code in the Select state:

Code: Select all

Select:  
    WHEE A 35		// shows the wheel for 35 tics
    TNT1 A 0 A_Raise	// will be done once because of PROP_INSTANTWEAPONSWITCH
    loop

I'm just curious, is there any way to put a fixed sprite under the sprite of the weapon raising up?

I suppose you could this with overlays, but personally I've never used that before.

Do you know any mod, or .wad that uses overlays? or do you know tutorials?
