changing gzdoom player movement & testing in udb?

[sfdoommod]

Hey everyone,

Complete noob here, trying to create a game in GZDoom. I've been attempting to modify the player movement engine-wide to give the player a higher jump. Additionally, I would like the player to be able to jump again immediately after landing, without having to wait for the short landing delay.

I've managed to change the jump height by using SLADE and directly modifying the player.zs file in the GZDoom.pk3 file. This modification works in-game for all stages. However, when testing my map in UDB, I've noticed that none of the edited movement changes take effect. For what it's worth, the map's WAD is currently using Freedom WADs and the GZDoom.pk3 as a resource.

I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

While I don't know why it doesn't work in UDB specifically, I still do not recommend this method of doing things.
Instead, you can create a new player class and modify all variables there.

As for wanting the player to jump constantly, you will have to use a Tick override like this:

Code: Select all

	Override void Tick(){
		Super.Tick();
		If(player.jumpTics!=0){player.jumpTics=0;} //Reset the jump delay constantly
	}

You should put this code inside your player class outside the Default{} and States{} blocks.
