Leading the way in newschool multiplayer Doom online

You have to calculate the angle that'd make the monster face the target (the guy who shot the monster, in your case) then apply a force in the opposite direction of it.FranckyFox2468 wrote:Is there a way to make an enemy being pushed back from the last direction they were shot for a pain/death animation? Some would say to use a_facetarget but it acts really oddly in multiplayer as the monster falls back from the last player its facing and no not the projectile/hitscan it got shot by

Code: Select all
// returns fixed distance
function int AproxDistance (int dx, int dy) {
dx = abs(dx);
dy = abs(dy);
if (dx < dy)
return dx + dy - (dx >> 1);
return dx + dy - (dy >> 1);
}
function void FaceActor(int m1, int m2) {
int xdiff = GetActorX(m2) - GetActorX(m1);
int ydiff = GetActorY(m2) - GetActorY(m1);
int zdiff = (GetActorZ(m2) + GetActorProperty(m2, APROP_HEIGHT)) - (GetActorZ(m1) + GetActorProperty(m1, APROP_HEIGHT));
int dist = AproxDistance(xdiff, ydiff);
SetActorAngle(m1, VectorAngle(xdiff, ydiff));
dist = FixedDiv(dist, 256.0);
zdiff = FixedDiv(zdiff, 256.0);
int tpitch = -VectorAngle(dist, zdiff);
SetActorPitch(m1, tpitch);
}
