I can not properly animate the other actions for the created frame. Killing, shrinking shrunker, killing with expander ...

[F!re-Fly]

New animation of the fixed Pigcop. He can now attack you standing straight, just like his squatting animation.

Now, I'm going to improve the different tank destructions.

[F!re-Fly]

I met in the end, still bugs. The animation of PIGCOP when shot at him has a bad frame. I'm going to put the "action" and the "ai" in the right place in the code.

[F!re-Fly]

Hello. Back on the forum after a happy Christmas. That's fine, I had a question about NW. How to add new jibs for Santa? There are two tiles that represent this boss. I do not know how to make the guts fall to the ground.

[F!re-Fly]

Idea?!

[F!re-Fly]

I have another question for NW. I finished importing the sounds and additional codes. My question is the following.

How to make an item appear when an actor is destroyed ? I have a Christmas tree, where I would like to show gifts when it is destroyed.

Thank you for your answers

P.S. : My two Caribbean women do not spawned monsters when they are killed.

[F!re-Fly]

Unresolved issues

1. Use a RESPAWN when a woman is killed.

2. Adding additional items with the same value as the originals.

3. Use a RESPAWN when an object is destroyed

4. Santa's jibs to code.

[F!re-Fly]

No solution for these problems

[F!re-Fly]

Let's start from the beginning.

I could not define an object that appears when I destroy my Christmas tree.

I think it's the function "respawnhitag" but I'm not sure. Normally to make an object appear, I put the number of the tile with a corresponding lotag.
Same thing for a woman killed. Can not make monsters appear with them.

[F!re-Fly]

All added monsters are fixed. I reworked all the code and it was missing particular cstat.
I noticed size problems too, problems with RESPAWN and GROW actions.

Addition of cstat 257 in the general code of the monsters, so that they can be touched without going in Mapster32.

Added sizeat 40 40, which corrects the problem of RESPAWN and the GROW action.

Added clipdist 40 in useractor.

I added these values ​​with "{}" so that it works without any problem.

[F!re-Fly]

Let's go back to the unresolved issues at the beginning. I could not bring up an item when my Christmas trees were destroyed. Should we add a specific RESPAWN?

[F!re-Fly]

I made an important update, concerning the score of the monsters killed. Thanks to the work of Darkus, many parameters of the scoring have been corrected. For example, the egg score was poorly coded and now sharks are counted. However, I have a small concern about my corpses and my tank wrecks.

When I coded all the corpses of the monsters, I defined in useractor like this:

useractor enemy LIZTROOPDEADSPRITE
  fall
  state special_corpses_checksquished
  cstat 0
  strength 0
  ifhitweapon
  {
    ifwasweapon RADIUSEXPLOSION
    {
      state troop_body_jibs
      state standard_jibs
      sound SQUISHED
      killit
    }
  }
enda

The problem is that every corpses are added to the scoring of monsters to kill, except that I do not want them to be counted. How to fix this problem? If you just tell me to define "useractor enemy" in "notenemy" I already tried and it does not work. Moreover, if I put "notenemy" all my code is nonexistent.

I will start with this first problem, before settling the others.

Thanks !

[Mark]

Instead of killit make the corpses invisible when hit. That way they won't affect the count.

[F!re-Fly]

Invisible to the touch? Do not destroy then? This is no longer of interest in the end. Unless I set a gamevar to avoid being counted on scoring.

[Mark]

I'm sure there is a way to code them so they don't to add to the count using killit, but I don't know what it would be. My suggestion is an easy compromise that accomplishes the same thing.

[F!re-Fly]

Here are the codes provided by Darkus, concerning the score of the monsters killed:

To be able to add a "DEADSPRITE" without it being counted, I have to add it somewhere.

[F!re-Fly]

The King Cobra is fixed ! ... Just miss bite attack and projectile venom.

[F!re-Fly]

No solution found for the cadaver counter

[F!re-Fly]

Another of my unresolved issues. I defined for the bosses, bloodpools of big sizes (sizeat 60 60) and for the code of the shrunker, a smaller size (sizeat 15 15). How can the big bloodpool be reduced by walking on it and canceling the size reduction for the small bloodpool? Can we use the values ​​"Footprintshade" or "Footprintpal"?

[F!re-Fly]

My projects are progressing well and soon I will make a list of all the unsolved problems.
I took care to make a list for the next codes to add and improve.

[F!re-Fly]

Here is the list of problems to solve:

1. The pal 4 to create shadow monsters, is not assigned when I use RESPAWN.
+ How can I also add a shadow on a new sprite? My new monsters refuse to keep the shadow property (assigned in Mapster32 by pressing "T").

2. The new Liztroop become lockable sprites after performing their dying death action (SUFFERING DEAD).

3. Corpses and tank wrecks, must be removed from the score counter.

4. BLOODPOOL smaller, linked to shrinker. Prevent further reduction of the puddle when Duke walks on it (size chosen sizeat 15 15).

5. BLOODPOOL bigger, related to BOSS. Force the reduction, when Duke walks on it (size chosen sizeat 60 60).

6. Unassigned general camera codes: flying camera, breakable viewscreen, breakable camera and camera controllable (code for Wiki).

7. Texture of the kind "SCREENBREAK" which does not destroy itself when it is used for a wall. This is the prototype of "OJ"

8. New switch, not functional. This is the prototype of "SLOTDOOR"

9. Code of "Space Suit" to add.

10. Impossibility of adding an extra sound, when the Dragon gets crushed in the shrinker (SQUISHABLEDISTANCE and PSTOMP).
+ Same procedure for women. Added a cry of pain at the same time of the crash.

11. No blood generated, when a frozen monster is destroyed.

12. Creation of new jibs for Santa Claus. The guts do not fall on the ground.

13. Possibility to put a different pal, for the RECON. When I assign for example on the RECON, a pal 14 or 21, it disappears from the map.

14. Disable completely, the recognition sound only for "stayput" enemies.

15. Be able to generate an item when the sprite of the Christmas tree is destroyed (value with a Lotag). When I try to assign a lotag of 50, the sprite disappears from the map.

Here ! We will begin to solve these problems, little by little. Thanks you for your answers.

[Mark]

15. Lotag 50 is used for making spotlights in Polymer. Maybe its messing up what you want to use that lotag for? If you use a different lotag does your effect work?

8. A new switch should be easy coding.

Me and other mappers have found that sometimes a switch won't activate if it is placed a little too high or low on the wall. Find a working switch in Mapster and see how many clicks up from the floor it is and do that same amount for testing your new switch. I was never able to figure out why some switches are so picky.

[F!re-Fly]

Thank you Mark! I will test your suggestions tonight. Lotag 50 was an example. I probably wanted to say 100 or 49.

[Mark]

49 is also a polymer light tag

[F!re-Fly]

Ok lol!

Show an item defined in Mapster32 with a lotag.

[F!re-Fly]

I tested and it does not work. There is still some simple coding that escapes me again.

Here are the basic basic codes:

Proto SLOTDOOR

useractor notenemy PROTO_SLOTDOOR
  ifpdistl 1024
  ifp pfacing
  ifhitspace
  {
    cactor 7029
    sound SWITCH_ON
    activate 0
  }
enda

Xmas Tree

useractor notenemy XMASTREE MEDIUMSTRENGTH
  cstat 257
  ifhitweapon
  {
    ifdead
    {
      ifactor XMASTREE
      {
        sound GLASS_HEAVYBREAK
        debris SCRAP3 5
        debris SCRAP3 5
        killit
      }
    }
  }
enda

[Mark]

usually you would change "activate 0" to "operateactivators 222 0"
instead of 222, use the lotag you gave the switch in the map BUT... You are releasing just the mod and no maps. So I think you also have to include code to get the lotag that the mapper gives your switch actor and put in into a gamevar.

Someone smarter than me needs to help you.

Ok Mark ! I remember seeing a thread on creating a new switch, but I could not get my hands on it again

Preview map:

[Perro Seco]

It's very easy to make a switch. Just save its lotag into a gamevar:

getactor[THISACTOR].lotag TEMP

Now you need to activate TEMP if player is near, hit space, etc.

It looks simple but sometimes I have trouble understanding the code "simple" because I have no example in the wiki and it does not seem obvious to me.

It's correct ?

gamevar TEMP 0 1

useractor notenemy PROTO_SLOTDOOR
  ifpdistl 1024
  ifp pfacing
  ifhitspace
  {
    cactor 7029
    sound SWITCH_ON

    activate 1
  }
