[ZScript] SpawnBlood() palette translation

[DnB-Freak]

Akin to LineAttack() function, "Bulletpuff" is spawned by default as pufftype.
It seems to handle blood palette translation as well, but I cannot find the parts of code that does it,
I've looked into https://github.com/rheit/zdoom/blob/mas ... /p_map.cpp for it, but for no avail.

I'm attempting to make a customized melee attack combining DamageMobj() and (SpawnBlood() xor SpawnPuff()).
What doesn't work is the blood palette translations.

Actor A hits actor B whom Bloodcolor is set to "DarkGreen",
anyhow SpawnBlood doesn't take bloodcolor from actor B into account,
causing default blood color (red) to be spawned instead when struck.

My code looks like this:

Code: Select all

extend class AMonster
{
	void A_AMonsterAttack()
	{
		if (target == null) return;
		//... Unrelated attack code here...
		//...
		Vector3 bpos = target.pos;
		double bangle = angle;
		if (CheckMeleeRange())
		{
			SpawnPuff("Blood", bpos+(0, 0, target.height * 0.5), bangle, bangle, 1, 1, target);  // <<- Spawning blood in middle height on "target"
		}
	}
}

This code actually only spawns blood on the target hit, but only in the default color (red).
LineAttack spawns blood and translates it, but it's a hitscan attack which would screw up things in this situation.
If "AMonster" misses and hits a target far away instead, looks abit weird...

How do I translate the very blood spawned using either SpawnPuff(), SpawnBlood() or is there another way to make it?

Thanks in advance.

anyhow SpawnBlood doesn't take bloodcolor from actor B into account,

So B.SpawnBlood() doesn't account for B's bloodcolor?

not if Spawnblood() is used directly, but now you got me:

Code: Select all

///...
Target.SpawnBlood(bpos+(0, 0, target.height * 0.5), angle, damage);

Don't judge me for this mistake thus I'm yet just a beginner of ZScript
I thought native void couldn't be called from actors directly,
Thanks for correcting me, Matt.
