Scorpion Tank (unused first brown tank for Atomic Edition)  "Minors problems"

User is offline   F!re-Fly

Hello everyone!

Thanks to the fan community, I was able to save the first Brown Pig Tank from the Atomic Edition. However, I have two small unresolved issues.

1. The sound "ROAM" when it moves, does not work at all.
2. He never attacks the player automatically.

I remember that this code is not of myself but found here: http://www.nitro404....d=scorpion_tank

Here is the code:

define SCORPIONTANK 7170

define SCORPIONTANKSTRENGTH 1000 // More than twice as strong

// NEW Scorpion Tank

action ASCORPIONTANKSPIN 0 1 7 1 4
action ASCORPIONTANKSHOOTING 7 2 7 1 15
action ASCORPIONTANKWAIT 0 1 7 1 1
action ASCORPIONTANKDESTRUCT 0 1 7 1 1
action ASCORPIONTANKDEAD 0 1 7 1 1

move SCORPIONTANKFORWARD 260  // More than twice as fast
move SCORPIONTANKSTOP

Several addons were utilizing the unused Pig Cop tank before. Right now, the only one I remember for sure is "XarTech Invasion" from 1997.

It's probably the same as the Tank in the final version, except it can automatically kill you instead of letting you to press any buttons behind. And it has a rocket in addition to the mortar.

JJ Duke Nukem 3D also used these, in fact, they are added next to the other tank. But the coding was VERY poor in that mod.

I honestly think there was more potential in the organic turret.

You must refer to the strange plant that sends acid. This strange creature has also been improved by me.
The idea of ​​this brown tank is good. I'll have to find a way to make it operational. The original Tank, works very well.

Corrected codes, Functional brown tank. Just a little detail: when I shoot him at the RPG, he has strange jerks. The sprite advances towards the player in a brutal way.

Yes, that's normal hardcoded behavior. I think it's from a bug going back to the original game whereby if an actor is hit by an RPG, it moves in the direction of htang instead of the opposite direction. You can correct this using your own code or you can use the spriteflag for removing the movement entirely.

EDIT: Actually, I think it simply moves the sprite forwards in the direction it is facing (not at htang).

Thanks TD. I would not have thought of using this code for that. The CyberKeef boss of the psx version, has the same problem. I just need to add Spriteflag in the code? Is there a specific value?

The "spriteflags -1" function works well, except that it activates other monsters on the map. It's strange !

Who said anything about using the value -1 for spriteflags? The value for SFLAG_NODAMAGEPUSH is 1048576.

The_Fly's CON Supplement has the best coded version, to my knowledge, of the Scorpion Tank if you'd like to look at it.

Thank you ! I'm just going to keep the carcass of the tank. No idea about my last problem?

I looked at the file you offered me on the Scorpion Tank, I also looked in other codes, I did not find a solution.
