I checked a bunch of project folders on my drive and many have the choices blank but not removed so I'm guessing there is no easy way to do it.

So what is the best way to prevent the episode 4 cutscene from starting these days? Should I do something in EVENT_CUTSCENE? Setting RETURN to -1 makes it show the first frame of the video and then pause until I press a key.

I want try to write my code of BloodCM in Lua and I have a one question:
Can I submit a variable from one lua-class to other lua-class?

I must use a function?

Why doesn't work suck code

-- Main.lua

module(...)
se = con.actorvar(0)
require "end_gamevars"

local se64 = require("se64")

and I have an error in se64 lua class:

-- SE64.lua

local se = se

"attempt to read undeclared variable 'se' "

Can I submit se variable from Main to SE64?

Cus someone told me how. No need for that post.

How do you add more frames to a weapon's animation/make a new animation?

[Hendricks266]

Take the weapons.con.sample from the samples/ folder and add it to your CONs. This will draw the weapons from CON code, and you can make your modifications based on that.

[xenoxols]

Thanks. Is there something like tilefromtexture that doesn't palette the graphic?

Hello everyone! Is it possible to monitor a player touches the wall or not?
I tried ifawayfromwall - works only on border of two sectors. On a step for example. If to stand at a wall, distance too big. Player too thick

You can use hitscan, but it's not easy. You would have to scan from the player's position at at least two different heights and many different angles. Then check the return values. If one of the scans hit a wall at nearby coordinates, then the player is "touching" the wall. If you require the player to be facing the wall, then it's only a few scans. I have some code which does this as part of the mantle check in DukePlus.

That will help if he wants to know whether the player is pushing against a wall, but if the player is touching a wall without pushing against it, it won't help.

[Fox]

I am thinking of storing the htmovflag from the last time the player moved.

[Mark]

Hmmm. I wonder if detecting the player pushing a wall could be used in conjunction with another effect for doing something cool with that wall.

[Mblackwell]

Well, with simple subtraction you could get the wallnum, so... yes!

Hey guys, is there a way to have a sound play when a secret place is discovered? Also, is there a way to make a separate sound for turning Goggles off?

Yeah - I only have time to give you code for the first, the easiest way is to detect if the 'Secret found!' quote is displayed on screen. You can stick this anywhere in the APLAYER actor:

ifvare player[THISACTOR].fta 99 // is a quote being displayed?
{
ifvare player[THISACTOR].ftq 9 // is it the 'secret found!' quote?
	soundonce SECRETFOUND // play this sound
}

I'm sure it would work with checking the sector lotag as well but I haven't tested that.

Thanks man. I'm a total beginner and I'm learning con editing through eduke wikia and pure trial and error. I guess I figured it out that the way to do it was through detecting the quote, just had no idea how to do it. Thanks again!

Be warned that the quote method will not work if the player has messages turned off with F8.

Unfortunately, I can't find any events that run before the game checks for sector lotag 32767 and sets it to zero, but this is the best I can do:

gamevar previous_secret_rooms 0 1

onevent EVENT_GAME
    ifactor APLAYER
    {
        ifvarvarg player[THISACTOR].secret_rooms previous_secret_rooms
            globalsound BAR_MUSIC

        getplayer[THISACTOR].secret_rooms previous_secret_rooms
    }

Don't wanna outstay my welcome, but is it possible to implement a sound when Duke is drowning (losing HP) and a different sound when he gets out of the water after he was drowning - different than when he wasn't?

[Mblackwell]

If you check http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Airleft that should give you a signal to let you play a sound. Like the previous code it's best to check both if it's 0 (drowning) and then save the last value and see if it was also zero. If the current value is non-zero but the previous value was then you know to play a gasping sound or whatever you have planned.

Ok, now I know what, but I don't know how. Sorry.

[Mblackwell]

... If it's 0 then you are out of air.

eg

gamevar AIR_LEFT 0 1
gamevar AIR_LEFT_LAST 0 1
onevent EVENT_GAME
    ifactor APLAYER
    {
        getplayer[THISACTOR].airleft AIR_LEFT
       
        ifvarvarn AIR_LEFT AIR_LEFT_LAST ifvare AIR_LEFT_LAST 0
            soundonce MY_GASP_SOUND
        else ifvare AIR_LEFT 0
            soundonce MY_DROWNING_SOUND
        
        setvarvar AIR_LEFT_LAST AIR_LEFT

Thanks for your patience, however at the beginning of the first level of an episode or a user level the gasp for air (not drowning) sound can be heard. Subsequent levels for some reason do not have this problem.

Fixes:
AIR_LEFT doesn't need to be per-player. Its value isn't kept between tics.
The sound kept playing after the player dies from drowning.
The bug mentioned above.

gamevar temp 0 0
gamevar AIR_LEFT_LAST -1 1

onevent EVENT_GAME
    ifactor APLAYER
    {
        getplayer[THISACTOR].airleft temp

        ifvare AIR_LEFT_LAST -1
            setvarvar AIR_LEFT_LAST temp

        ifvarvarn temp AIR_LEFT_LAST ifvare AIR_LEFT_LAST 0

It works! Thanks much!

Is it possible to detect what render mode is being used from within a CON file ? Specifically, I have a above + under water TROR sectors (which are also part of a more complex TROR map) and to stop HOM effects in software render mode I need to change the water texture to solid instead of transparent; i'm hoping that this can be accomplished via a CON file.

TTFN,
Jon

[Fox]

Yes.
