Custom railguns with user and team colors

#1

Post by Qent » Mon May 20, 2013 12:30 am

Custom railguns that use A_RailAttack to change the attack damage or damage type cannot use the player's railcolor or team color directly. Team-colored custom railguns have been made by using inventory flags and identical Fire states with different colors. This is one possible way to use the player's railcolor in addition to his team color.

instead of teamcounter, why not have it look more like this?:
Fire:
RLGG E 0 A_GunFlash
RLGG E 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Team_blue", 4, "FireNoTeam")
RLGG E 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Team_gold", 3, "FireGoldTeam")
RLGG E 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Team_green", 2, "FireGreenTeam")
RLGG E 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Team_red", 1, "FireRedTeam")
Goto firenoteam

that makes it easyer for idiots like me to understand :P
also, if za had the railcolor function, you wouldnt come up with this great cycle through code for me to get ideas with for other things :P

Because GetPlayerInfo(PlayerNumber(), PLAYERINFO_TEAM) returns a number, it seemed natural just to store that number as an inventory item.

might seem natural to you, but I can't see the logic of using a non-item for an item based function........
but I guess that if it works, then it don't matter if it makes sense :razz:
but I personally prefer to have an item for the teams, as changes in the teaminfo can change how your weapon will behave, and therefore you will then need to recode the weapon.

A non-item? It is an item though:

Code: Select all

// Encodes the player's team in inventory.
actor TeamCounter : Inventory {
  +INVENTORY.UNDROPPABLE
  Inventory.MaxAmount 255
}
As far as I can tell, I'm doing just what you would do, but naming it differently. So four TeamCounters == one Team_gold.

You also seem to be a little confused about what A_JumpIfInventory is doing.
Lollipop wrote: RLGG E 0 A_JumpIfInventory("Team_gold", 3, "FireGoldTeam")
This will jump to the FireGoldTeam state if you have three or more Team_gold items. If you have one item for each team, then there is no need to give three of them. (BTW you missed FireBlueTeam.)

bummer, I forgot to change the number of items :P
also, I think I missed the team counter actor, not that I got any real idea why you then linked me over to playerinfo?......
anyways, this system can be used for other (more awesome lol) things than just a railgun with different colors :P

Well as it turns out, this may all have been for nothing! Sure, I guess you could use this method to add one or two more railcolors. But if you find some other more awesome thing than a railgun with different colors to do, post it here!

Well, just anything that change the states depending on inventory items in its behaviour, simple as that really, you could have all players have IS_TEAMCOLORHERE as their start inventory item, and then they can just colorrofl with anything, or you could have something like this?:
RED: projectile bonus
BLUE: hitscan bonus

and then if the weapon finds the corresponing teamitem, it launches FireBlue/FireRed and they look the same but their A_firebullets have a different damage and also the projectiles will be other actors :)

Just say'in

RED: projectile bonus
BLUE: hitscan bonus

and then if the weapon finds the corresponing teamitem, it launches FireBlue/FireRed and they look the same but their A_firebullets have a different damage and also the projectiles will be other actors :)

Just say'in
That is overly complex, unbalanced, and just plain stupid. Just sayin'.

And why can't you just use blank parameters for spiralcolor and corecolor?

Code: Select all

Well, balance measures would be possible... somehow, BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO LAZY TESTING THEIR SHIT TO SEE IF ITS BALANCED.
Complex it is not, and parameters for railcolors dun work as desired, also every railgunshot could be varying in this manner *too lazy to make an example*

Many earlier mods have used inventory items to mark what team a player is on for team-colored plasma, rails, damagetypes, and other weapon-related things. Here I was mainly interested in sending an ordinary cvar (e.g. railcolor) from the client to the server automatically, without making a new function to set it.

You're accusing Balrog of being "too lazy" to playtest a modification that you yourself are "too lazy" to create?

Also, I agree with Balrog. Even the concept of something like this:
RED: projectile bonus
BLUE: hitscan bonus
... is unbalanced at the most basic level. No matter how much you nerf the hitscans or buff the projectile damage, the fact of the matter is that hitscans are almost always better when it comes to PVP.

That is, assuming that what you meant was "buff red team players' projectiles, and buff blue's hitscans".

1. Well, all I said about lazyness is that I myself is too lazy to make an example thing, and did therefore not accuse balrog of anything.

2. I have been looking for that picture.

3. the idea was basic and quickly thought out, and again, I'm too lazy to do something about it anyway. Also it was a state of an example on just what such an alteration of a weapons behaviour could do (basically anything).
