Doesn't do anything except not causing "not game variable" error without gamevar VARNAME x x error.
I even tried few more , no avail.


PS
It just defines it that's it.

What I wanna do is like an inactive "gamevar WEAPON4_SHOOTS 13662 1"

So that gamevar only works if you set that var blocking it.

You'll need to put the code Fox stated in an actor like the aplayer - it sounds like you want the RPG to shoot a certain projectile if a var is set right? Than do this, put this in the APLAYER actor:
ifvare WEAFIVEADDON 1
     {
    setvar WEAPON4_FIRESOUND 666
    setvar WEAPON4_SHOOTS 13662
     }

     }




I put inside the "aplayer" code.

Technically is not RPG I wanna change.
I used RPG as an example to reduce "spoil alerts".

Is technically a non projectile weapon.
projectile works, every thing works.
Is just the code was not.

I tested as "gamevar" and it works.

Now ill put inside the aplayer the setvar so I can make the code "blocked" until u grab the addon.

Well it "almost works"

When var is set.
Weapon is totally muted. doesn't shoot anything.
Only its animation works.

Is inside the Aplayer actor.
At the beginning below its "title"
Above ifaction 0

It only works with sprites defined as projectiles. You may wanna set WEAPONX_SPAWN instead.

Are you shooting a projectile? You'll have to define a new projectile using the defineprojectile commands.

defineprojectile was the first thing done.
Would be kinda awkward to make something shooting a projectile that isn't defined.


With the WEAPONX_SPAWN.
it works.
All is left is to fix it's "hitting dmg" of the instant hitting projectile since it kinda changed it a bit.

Any idea on how to make a regular switch activate only once, like a keycard switch?

I can't do that. I am just looking for a better way to fix multiplayer-only maps, specifically adding switches on the other side of keycard locked doors. Since you can't use multiplayer-only keycard switches, I must use normal ones.

I wonder if anyone remember the palfrom that makes the screen flash Xray effect (negative colors) and weird flashes when I think you either give negative values or values above 64.
Is there such things as a way to "Revive" that in the newest Eduke32?

Here is a clip (scenes from Oblivion) using weird palfrom.
Is an older Eduke engine.


Part 1 of the vid (Ghost mothership's core)
Core { palfrom 77 55 95 63 } from being hit, makes this weird red-like flash

Part 2 is more complex, it's multi sprites making the flash.

Part 3 of the vid (evil mask's projectile)
necrotizer "{ palfrom 103 83 74 125 }" for this weird Xray flash like (in older Eduke)
While in modern Eduke just does a bright white flash lasting 2 sec before it starts to decay.
if you put negative value in the intensity rather is -1 or -63 it will make a flash lasting several seconds before it slowly decays.

How do we display something "above stat bar" ?

I'm exploring rotate sprite.

Cus when you display something it doesn't go above stat bar.

Rather is with myospal or rotatesprite.
How do we make the object you wanna display go (above) the stat bar?

Like flashes with palfrom goes above stat bar.

Use
0 0 xdim ydim

Instead of
windowx1 windowy1 windowx2 windowy2


You are not drawing below the HUD, but rather within the area of the player view.

I am working on something pretty basic right now and need some help. I haven't done any Con scripting for about 6 years so I'm quite rusty.

I need an item to give player invincibility and a "1 hit kill" type of power for about 30 Seconds once picked up.

Any help?

I would start by copying the code for the pickup actors like SHOTGUNSPRITE. Replace the addweapon/addammo/addinventory/addphealth command with setting a per-player gamevar to the number of seconds you want the effect to last, times 30. (30 seconds = 900)

From the APLAYER actor, you'll need to add a two-liner that subtracts one from the gamevar if it is greater than zero. This will set up the structure of the effect, but it won't do anything yet.

Invincibility would probably best be achieved by getting the player's health when the item is acquired and setting the player's health to that value every tic while the item is active.

One hit kills would be more complicated. I would suggest adding code to EVENT_GAME that checks if the current sprite's htowner is equal to the player in question's .i value. If it is, it sets the sprite's htextra to 32767 (the highest value).

Post again if you need more help executing these suggestions.

Maybe doing cstat 0 (reseting the thing) would make ur player unhittable.
Along side other codes etc.

And when you do cstator 257 your player becomes hittable again (maybe). Works on mobs when I do that for enemies.
Even from radius explosion it doesn't hit you.
Never tried for player before by that way.
except
In Oblivion has this thing, from one of the weap when you shoot the mirror and bounces back to you, makes you unkillable for a few seconds even from explosions.
Accidentally did that by messing around with the shrinker by replacing it with the "muddler gun"


I do that for some bosses and works. ( spawn an inv sprite that blocks so when the boss eye becomes unhittable your bullet or projectile doesn't go "through it")
LIZTROOP seems to be affected when hiding they die from radius explosion as soon they reappear. Probably they didn't remove the 256 (still hittable by weapons radius) dunno.
But NOT my bosses when their eye are closed.


Also never tried a 1shot kill thing.
I only have very massive damaging weapons but can hit you too.
Large hitarea and massive dmg.

Projectile example does hitarea 20000 200 230 260 290 & higher.. or something
A bit like the BFG9000 of doom type.

"Note that the damage inflicted by hard-coded projectiles is also split in four sections (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%)."

Trip bombs in Oblivion does nasty damage. Ur player can die if not hidden behind a wall where the *hit area* cannot strike you or you're too far from the blast.

In USER.CON.
Its radii is.
define TRIPBOMBBLASTRADIUS 18666
Damage
define TRIPBOMB_STRENGTH 900

In game.con. inside EXPLOSION2 actor.
ifspawnedby TRIPBOMB { palfrom 63 63 63 63 }
to make a violent flash. (becomes like 99% bright)

I wanna make a "replica" for the pipebomb.

What are the defineprojectile code placement to make a pipebomb.

Example (non pipebomb projectile).

defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_WORKSLIKE 2
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_TRAIL 6044
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_TNUM 1
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_VEL 620
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_EXTRA 17
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_HITRADIUS 1268
defineprojectile 6561 PROJ_SPAWNS EXPLOSION2


But what I want is the stuff to make a pipebomb.
Throws like one.
Bounce like one.
Except I put a different PROJ_SPAWNS when it goes off by remote or by something hitting it.


Cus I wanna make when the player takes an enhancement.
He will throw the same type of pipebomb that behaves exactly the same as the Duke pipebomb.
Except it spawns a stronger explosion yield. (explodes harder).

I have all the thing working all is left is to make the projectile but can't find any source to "simulate" the pipebomb.

blah blah blah
with setvar WEAPON5_SHOOTS XXXXX Inside the aplayer actor


So when he get the enhancement he shoots a different pipebomb actor, acts like same one except spawns deadlier explosion (like mentioned above)

Well discard post above.

I found a source code on 3dRealms, 8 years old, I normally avoid searching old stuff cus sometime they give obsolete stuff.


I duplicate it.

defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_WORKSLIKE 22598
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_VEL 256
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_EXTRA 182
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_DROP -200
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_BOUNCES 4
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_BSOUND 13
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_OFFSET 225
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_CLIPDIST 24
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_ISOUND 17
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_HITRADIUS 3001
defineprojectile 14694 PROJ_SPAWNS EXPLOSION2

Problem is. the pipebomb (heavybomb) stays frozen in the air.

On the site, Deeperthoughts says is hardcoded and has no con for it.
That was 8 years ago, dunno if there is a solution someone may know today.

Thing I wanna make.
Is the thing behaving exactly like the pipebomb (heavy bomb).
Throwable, can be recovered.
Can be destroyed by being hit or detonated, Just like the normal.

Thing is an addon.
When player takes it.
It unlock a var to define WEAPONx stuff.
with setvar WEAPON5_SHOOTS 14694 Inside the aplayer actor


Inside explosion2 actor it has ifspawned by the 14694 thing {it does multi explosions etc}

Neither SHOOTS or SPAWN works.
I think pipebomb suppose to be a "spawn" but nothing happens, stays frozen in the air.

Ok, so mapster32 question - I'm not too familiar with it so forgive me. What's the optimal way to draw a line between 2 sprites? and in what event? basically I want to make one sprite find another sprite with a matching hitag and then draw a line to it. Cheers.

What do you mean? To literally draw a line (wall) beetween them, or for them to face each other?

He wants to use mapster script to show a line between 2 sprites in 2D mode, linking them like locators (in a.m32?) so that it's easier to see what sprites are related to each other. The line is purely aesthetical.
