regenerating health up to a certain point

[skeletronmk666]

Hi Im very new to Zscript and im trying to make an IF statement and an Until statment that gives a specific playerclass a custom health item untill he reaches 30 health

Code: Select all

class LiquidMetalHealth : custominventory {
DEFAULT{
+COUNTITEM;
+INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP;
}
states{
 Pickup:
    TNT1 A 0{
                if (health < 30)
                {
                 A_giveinventory("HealthReginT1000");
				 until(health == 30);
                }
            }
        loop;
	  }
}

here is code for the custom inventory, the if and until statment

Code: Select all

class HealthReginT1000 : health{
Default
	{
Inventory.Amount 1;
Inventory.Maxamount 30;
 +INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP;
	}
}

and here is code for the health item it'self

it doesn't seem to be working at all, it runs, but does nothing

are you giving the class the item? can't see the class code.

-edit- the "LiquidMetalHealth" item, i mean.

[skeletronmk666]

Code: Select all

Player.StartItem "Class2Inv"
  Player.CrouchSprite "PLYC"
  Player.StartItem "FastPistol"
  Player.StartItem "T1000SWORD"
  Player.StartItem"HandSpear"
  Player.StartItem"LiquidMetal"
  Player.StartItem"LiquidMetalHealth"
  Player.StartItem "Clip", 50

maybe try change "class" to "actor" on LiquidMetalHealth?
everything else seems like it makes sense to me.

and maybe add a checkinventory for "health" somewhere?

If you want to add this ability to a specific player class, then place the following code in your player class definition:

Code: Select all

override void Tick()
{
    Super.Tick();

    let plr = player;

    // Check for dummy players/voodoo dolls
    if (plr == null || plr.mo != self)
    {
        return;
    }

    if (plr.Health > 0 && plr.Health < 30)
    {
        plr.Health++;
    }
}

This will give the player 1 health up to 30 every tick, unless they're dead (the player can still be killed if the damage received is greater than or equal to their current health). Replace "plr.Health++" with "plr.Health = 30" if you want to give the health immediately instead of gradually. You do not need any inventory items here.

Zscript recognizes Class, not Actor.

excellent! this is almost perfect, how do i make him regin slower? add delay somewhere? aslo thank you SOOO much i was trying to impliment this for hours with no progress made

You can use the actor's own age in ticks, via GetAge(), or Level.maptime as a counter, and base the decision whether to add health or not on the value of that counter. For example, if you want to add health every second, do it each time when the counter divides evenly by GameTicRate - its value is equal to the amount of tics in one second.

Code: Select all

if (plr.Health > 0 && plr.Health < 30 && GetAge() % GameTicRate == 0)
{
    plr.Health++;
}

To add health every 2nd second, replace GameTicRate with (GameTicRate * 2) (with parentheses). Every half second is (GameTicRate / 2), although it will actually be slightly faster than that because the current tic rate in GZDoom is 35 tics per second, an odd number. If you would like more precise adjustment, simply replace GameTicRate with some integer constant (say, 10) and tweak it until you find a suitable enough regeneration rate. Reducing the value will speed it up, while increasing the value will slow it down.

Code: Select all

    if (plr.Health > 0 && plr.Health < 30)
    {
        plr.Health++;
    }

self.health should be updated as well to keep it in-sync with plr.health.

Alternatively, one can save themselves the trouble and use [wiki]GiveBody[/wiki].

[Player701]

Hmm. Thought it was synced automatically, guess I was wrong. Yeah, then, either add health++; or call GiveBody(1).

[skeletronmk666]

how would i implement givebody?

[Player701]

You don't have to, it's already implemented in GZDoom. Just replace "plr.Health++" with "GiveBody(1)" in your code.
