White face acting weird in specific cases

#1

Post by ibm5155 » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:36 pm

So, for some reasons, when a player is on the top of a object that is near to two walls, he doesnt instakill him, and many times he just fails to kill the player '-'
phpBB [video]
The [video] tag is deprecated, please use the [media] tag
Here's a example vídeo, whiteface pass near the player and goes in a linear direction, after passing the sector, he goes back and kill the player.

This wasn't even happening before, before, he would just go over that direction he went before, and he would never return D:

Here's the code line that he was executing

Code: Select all

  SeeHaunt:
   SCAR A 0 A_JumpIf(user_WFHunterTimer>0,3)
   //START SETUP
   SCAR A 0 A_SetUserVar("user_WFHunterTimer",random(10,20))//Set the timer 
   SCAR A 0 ACS_Execute(46,0,1) //1
   //END START SETUP
   SCAR A 0 A_Playsound("KIDSND")//2 <-
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.1,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.2,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.3,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.4,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.5,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.6,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.7,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.8,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.9,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(1.0,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.9,0) 
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.8,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.7,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.5,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AAA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.4,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.3,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.2,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.1,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent(0.0,0)
   SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
   SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase 
   SCAR A 0 A_SetUserVar("user_WFHunterTimer",user_WFHunterTimer-1)//in case it goes below zero
   SCAR A 0 A_JumpIf(user_WFHunterTimer>0,5)
   //RESET WHITE FACE TO NORMAL STATUS
   SCAR A 0 A_SetTranslucent (0.0,0)  //1
   SCAR A 0 ACS_Execute(46,0,0)         //2
   SCAR A 0 A_SetUserVar("user_WFHunterTimer",0)//in case it goes below zero
   SCAR A 0 A_Jump(256,"See")      //4
   SCAR A 0                        //5 <--
   Loop
He should act as a tracer, and, 99% of the cases it Works just fine, it's just these specific cases that I don't get why he doesn't kill the player :(

What should I do to make WhiteFace kills the player in the first try?

Also, here's a Picture about where were I

How exactly do you kill the player? If it is with a damaging decorate function, the walls could potentially block some of it IDK...
Have you tried making it look at the play and call a script killing its linetarget? That should kill the player if whiteface can see him.

The monster itself doesn't kill the play, it gives the player some decorate object, that object calls an acs script when given to the player, that acs called teleport the player to a instakill sector, shows that image on the screen and plays the death sound.


Also here's the full White face code

  Raise:
    IBMA A 8 A_UnSetFloorClip
    IBMA A 8

}
Maybe, it's something related to the A_chase function, because I replaced that function with "A_SkullAttack" and it "worked" (Well, it didn't entered into the melee state, but it at least touched the player on the first try)

And before
SCAR A 0 A_FaceTarget
SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
I was using
SCAR A 0 A_RearrangePointers(AAPTR_DEFAULT,AAPTR_TARGET,AAPTR_DEFAULT)
SCAR AA 1 Bright A_Chase
But that didn't worked either (and it was worse, because on that position, the ghoul would never go back to kill the human)

So why exactly does it need to give player an item that teleports him to a sector which spawns an actor that shoots him with another item that, once collected, activates a jumpif loop in player's spawn state that lowers his damage to the level adjacent to the number of custom ammo type that is then taken away?
Wouldn't it be easier to just kill the player without trying to be fancy about that?
