[Lord_of_D:]

im working on a "emotive" guest for our fav game and i want what, in a certain momment, it incrase the scale of the sprite, is that possible whitow scripts? D:

[Catastrophe]

No, D: It's not D:

[Lord_of_D:]

No, D: It's not D:

too bad. something what i forgot to ask too: theres an action alike "A_JumpifCloser" but to jump to an state when the target is out of melee range?

A_SetScale doesn't exist in Zandronum yet I'm afraid. Best method is to spawn a bigger/smaller variety of that certain object after specific delays.

yeah, maybe incrasing the sprites size with paint or something like that and making them as another "letter"(AKAM D/C/E/G) may work.

You can use TEXTURES lump to resize them, if you are too lazy to use an outside graphic editor.

And yes, you can just draw other sprites in moments where you want something to be smaller or bigger...
It actually depends WHEN you want this to happen...

cool, but what about my second question? about if theres an action alike "A_JumpifCloser" but to jump to an state when the target is out of melee range?

[Cruduxy]

Does
A_JumpIfcloser(MeleeRangeHere,"See")
Rest of your stuff here
suffice?

Edit : If for zdoom you'd like to check http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_JumpIfTargetOutsideMeleeRange

[-Jes-]

A_JumpIfcloser(MeleeRangeHere,1)
goto myoutofrangestate
restofmyinrangestatehere

Would probably be more accurate to his question.

[Cruduxy]

Its same as I wrote but replaced the see state >_>
Edit : See meant the melee state.

[Lord_of_D:]

A_JumpIfcloser(MeleeRangeHere,1)
goto myoutofrangestate
restofmyinrangestatehere

Would probably be more accurate to his question.

can you give me an example? i kinda understand this, but not sure how to write it D:. btw, whats the full code of the lore master chain attack? i want to do something alike the "grab" it does, but i have no idea hows the code D: (it doesnt tells in zdoomwiki the actual "grab" code)

[Cruduxy]

Inherit from loreshot

[Lord_of_D:]

Inherit from loreshot

Code: Select all

ACTOR LoreShot native
{
  ConversationID 97, -1, -1
  Speed 20
  Height 14
  Radius 10
  Projectile
  +STRIFEDAMAGE
  Damage 2
  MaxStepHeight 4
  SeeSound "loremaster/chain"
  ActiveSound "loremaster/swish"

  action native A_LoremasterChain();

  States
  {
  Spawn:
    OCLW A 2 A_LoremasterChain
    Loop
  Death:
    OCLW A 6
    Stop
  }
}

i most use the "action native" crap?

[Cruduxy]

No you don't have to.

[Bloax]

Code: Select all

 TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfcloser(MeleeRangeHere,"State")

If you for some reason don't know pseudocode variable references (fancy schmancy name I just gave it isn't it), then "MeleeRangeHere" is literally the MeleeRange that you set.

So if you have

Code: Select all

Actor Blah {

 MeleeRange 48

 ...Blahblah
 Blah.. }

You'd do

Code: Select all

 TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfcloser(48,"State")

^
ok, i'll give it a try and see if it works the way i want it, thanks.

No you don't have to.

then what?, the "A_Loremasterchain"? D:

Edit : See meant the melee state.

The difference is context, really. Yours has the "if closer" result in the jumped to state, mine has "if not closer" in the jumped to state. Essentially just the following mockup with the results of each state flipped. As said, it's only more 'accurate' to his question, not more correct as both are fine methods.

can you give me an example?

Missile:
BADG E 2 a_jumpifcloser(512,1)
goto MissileSnipe
BADG FFFF 2 A_fireinaccuratebullet
BADG E 2
goto See
MissileSnipe:
BADG E 6
BADG F 6 A_fireaimedbullet
BADG E 6
goto See

In this mockup (with wholly nonexisting functions), my BADGUY tries to do a ranged attack. If he's within 512, his missile state skips the goto and continues down to the 4 quick frames that each trigger an inaccurate (hipfire) bullet.
If he's NOT within 512 of his target, he instead follows the goto to the MissileSnipe state, where he spends a lot of time to fire one more accurate bullet.

Net result: if he's close, he sprays you. If he's far away, he snipes at you.

You still don't have to use that function\action...

Edit : If you actually opened it on the wiki you'd have known why you don't need it.

i did and idk why, please explain me master :3

[Cruduxy]

Because it plays a sound and spawns a couple of balls behind the actor.. which you don't need anyway
