I created a strange statue of LIZTROOP, which can be destroyed and can use a "RESPAWN" with the value "respawnhitag"

action LIZSTATUEFRAMES 0 1 5 1 1

define LIZSTATUESTRENGTH 150

useractor notenemy LIZSTATUE LIZSTATUESTRENGTH LIZSTATUEFRAMES
  cstat 257
  ifhitweapon
    {
      debris SCRAP3 5
      debris SCRAP6 5
      ifdead
      {
        ifactor LIZSTATUE
        state lizstatue_drop
        {
          respawnhitag
          sound GLASSBREAK
          lotsofglass 100
          quote 136
          killit
        }
      }
    }
enda

appendevent EVENT_LOADACTOR
  ifactor LIZSTATUE
  {
    sizeat 29 29
  }
endevent

The value "respawnhitag" works without problems. On the other hand, it refuses to work with other sprites (extracts from The Gate)

For example, a moving brain and a giant eye flying:

Can anyone tell me, why "respawnhitag" does not want to work for these two additions ? Thanks

[F!re-Fly]

I tried to use again, the value "respawnhitag" by placing it after "ifhitweapon" and well I still have no results

[F!re-Fly]

I noticed a few things about "guts" values ​​especially for JIBS6. When the player fires on the original monsters, blood samples fall directly to the ground in front of him, horizontally. How to do the same with my new monsters? This could help me complete a good part of my CON files.

I've assigned my new monsters tripe with JIBS6, except that it's going in all directions.

Don't use "guts" if you want to do that. Just use "spawn JIBS6".

[F!re-Fly]

Super thanks for the answer. I never had the idea to use this alternative. I will test tomorrow.

[F!re-Fly]

Regarding the problem of the score of monsters killed. How not to display on the counter some "useractor"? I have only one babe and corpses I'd like to remove from the counter.

I tested "spawn JIBS6" It does not work. I think the solution is in a gamevar with the value "htg_t"

Thanks TP! I had still searched badly. I will now go on the code of "scoring"

I would really like to find a way to remove "useractor" from the score, without changing everything with a cstat 256. If I have not just changed all this is simply for a logic of gameplay.

I had posted a little while ago the code of Darkus who had repaired the counter of the dead. However, I have no precision to remove some "useractor" from the counter

[F!re-Fly]

Hello everyone! I thought the King Cobra was well coded... BUT NOT ! There is still a problem of shit that makes me lose time. The King Cobra refuses to die if it is shrunk and I do not know at all or is the problem. But I coded based on the Lizman and respecting the lines. Well, I'm quite upset about this problem.

In addition to the first problem encountered on King Cobra (unable to kill it by being shrunk), I noticed two other problems:

2. After a while, the monsters stop moving when Duke is hiding for a moment (about a minute). The King Cobra refuses to stop. He keeps moving and stops once in three.

3. He sometimes shoting in the void.

Of all the monsters I've coded, it's the one that will have caused me the most concern and I do not know why. Knowing that his code is similar to Lizman.

So my priority is to finish the monster code.

I know that most of my general problems are not resolved, I would like this time to devote myself to King Cobra. You help is welcome.

[F!re-Fly]

King Cobra "shrunk dying" action fixed !
King Cobra "stop moving" action fixed !

"Attack in the void" action is not solved yet.

I take advantage of it to remake to new, all the code of the Predator (my very first enemy). It works great, without any problem. I had to redo the code of death which was incomplete and slightly buggy. The only thing I can not do again is to kill him by being small. There are two clues to killing an enemy shrunk otherwise:

state predhitstate
  ifdead
  {
    ifwasweapon FREEZEBLAST
    {
      sound SOMETHINGFROZE
      spritepal 1
      move 0

    ifwasweapon GROWSPARK

      sound ACTOR_GROWING

      setvar ISDEADFIX 1
      ai AIPREDGROW
      break
    }
    else
      ifwasweapon RPG
    {

    else
      ifwasweapon RADIUSEXPLOSION
    {
      sound SQUISHED
      state standard_jibs
      state standard_jibs
      state standard_jibs
      state standard_jibs
      addkills 1
      killit
    }
    else
    {
      addkills 1
      addvar KILLCOUNTFIX 1
      setvar ISDEADFIX 1
      ai AIPREDDYING
    }
    sound PREDA_DYING
  }
  else
  {
    sound PREDA_PAIN
    state random_wall_jibs

    ifai AIPREDSHRUNK break

    ifwasweapon SHRINKSPARK
    {
      sound ACTOR_SHRINKING
      ai AIPREDSHRUNK
      break
    }
    ifwasweapon GROWSPARK
      sound EXPANDERHIT

    {
      ifrnd 24
        state predpalshootstate
      else
        ifrnd 12
          ai AIPREDHIDE
    }
  }
  ifactioncount 2
  {
    resetactioncount
    ai AIPREDSEEK
  }
ends

  ifai AIPREDDYING
    state preddyingstate
  else

  {
    ifhitweapon
      state predhitstate

  }

The first part concerns "ifai AIPREDSHRUNK nullop" and the second part in the main code, "ifhitweapon state predhitstate"

Only it does not seem to work. I can attack him being small, but only dies if he regains his normal size.

You seem to be fixing a lot of your problems on your own now. That's good. I recommend waiting and not posting about them unless you are truly stuck -- try waiting until you have been stuck on a problem for a week or so. You will find that you are posting about fewer things, and then the chances of someone helping when you do post will increase.

[Mark]

Yeah, I usually ask for help after I mangled the code for a few days. Its amazing that even with the high percentage of frustration and failure, I continue to code. Its that good feeling when it finally comes together.

There were a few times he asked for help and I kept quiet because I felt the fix was within his skills to fix it. And he did.
( and because I seem to have less than 50/50 chance of offering the right solutions for people )

[F!re-Fly]

Thank you for your wise advice. I understood your justified silence. I am very happy to be able to settle on my own, a lot of little problems.

Mark, you still gave me good clues for the famous "proto-switch" of the beta version.

[F!re-Fly]

Addkils with gamevar code of the killed monsters counter is fixed.

Acid bloodpool "state random ooz" for the Egg, Greenslime, Boss4 and Newbeast is fixed.

Quotes victory for all Boss is fixed

Greenslime, Rotategun and Shark, can be squished now.

Liztroop N64, Boss4, Newbeast and CyberKeef, will not be affected by the shrunker. Flintch action is canceled.

Dead codes for the CyberKeef is fixed.

Sounds for the state "random get weapons" is fixed. The ifrnd value is deleted.

Eliminate player self-damage code for the Dragon is fixed.

King Cobra, Dummyduke, Captain Gorilla and Predator is fixed.

Unused LIZMANFEEDING is fixed.

Satelite, Fuelpod, Antenna and more objets is fixed. They could not be destroyed properly.

I also did touch-ups for the Newbeast code. There were inconsistencies.

The Queen Alien mini boss, can be two different pal. Pal21 and Pal3.

Unused AMMOLOTS tiles and code is fixed.

Quote for Pistol is fixed.

Used RESPAWN for the news stayput enemies (Octabrain, Boss2 and Boss3) is fixed. With cstat and sizeat.

[F!re-Fly]

The first problem that I have not been able to solve for more than a week is how to get a useractor enemy out of the death counter.

I could just do a "notenemy" with cstat 256, but it's for gameplay reasons.

[Danukem]

Just subtract 1 from max_actors_killed when it spawns. That's what I do.

[F!re-Fly]

Okay. Just add in the code of the actor, max_actor_killed and put -1?

I created an EVENT_KILLIT code that could help.

Or getplayer[THISACTOR].max_actors_killed - 1

[F!re-Fly]

Not work !!!

[F!re-Fly]

I do not know how I can subtract 1 for "max_actor_killed" Here are the counter codes of the monsters killed

gamevar TEMPFIX1 0 0 // Temporary variables
gamevar TEMPFIX2 0 0

Rotate gun is fixed: add hitradius explosion.

[Danukem]

Sounds more like a bad idea than a fix. It will hurt the player when it dies now, and also blow up cracks where that wasn't intended.

[F!re-Fly]

It will hurt the player but the hitradius will be weak. I also found the way that it does not affect cracks. At the same time it is also logical that it affects the player.

If I had the idea to add a hitradius to the turret, it's also a way to make maps with strategy. DN3D can become an FPS-Strategic.

This could help the player save the bombs, or ammunition from the RPG.

I'm also trying to understand the modders, for their mapping ideas. Each patch and every new idea brought to the game can be used or simply for the pleasure of the game and the gameplay.

News womans for the BDP The Gate added. Femcode is fixed.

[F!re-Fly]

I failed to subtract 1 in "max_actors_killed" I tried several ways to proceed but I have no conclusive result.

[F!re-Fly]

CyberKeef and BOSS2 / BOSS3 "stayput " is fixed. Add sizeat for the ifspritepal 0, 3 and 21 with used Respawn.

Possibility now to display BOSS and MINI-BOSS independently.

[F!re-Fly]

Max_actor_killed is not fixed.
