Damage type help

Post by powerup1 »

I'm making a fire death script

Code: Select all

[code]Class FlamerHandler : EventHandler
{
    Override void WorldThingDied(WorldEvent e)
    {
        If(e.Inflictor&&e.Inflictor.DamageType == "Fire" || e.inflictor is "ExplosiveBarrel")
        {
			e.Thing.GiveInventory("FireDeathEffect",1);
        }
    }
}
but some mods have weapons/projectile with their own type of fire damage that doesn't get picked up by my code

Code: Select all

class SnailFlames : Actor
{
	Default
	{
		Radius 8;
		Height 8;
		Speed 0;
		DamageFunction (0);
		Projectile;
		+RANDOMIZE
		+BLOODLESSIMPACT
		+RIPPER
		+NOBLOOD
		-SOLID
		+FORCERADIUSDMG
		+THRUACTORS
		+ROLLSPRITE
		+FORCEXYBILLBOARD;
		BounceType "Hexen";
		BounceFactor 0.5;
		RenderStyle "Add";
		Alpha 1;
		Scale 0.4;
		DamageType "FlameFire";
is there a way I can modify my code to include any DamageType that has the word "Fire" in it instead of only one DamageType that's specifically called "Fire"?

WorldThingDied cannot check the damage type. My old posts might help you. viewtopic.php?t=73516

works fine for me, its just that I wanted to add more DamageTypes without cluttering up the line
