| Description | i'd like a feature which allows modders to "classify" actors by using tags (maybe an extended version of the 'Species' property). An example:
This imp will destroy the nearest projectiles, but it'll ignore Magical projectiles (like hexen's spirits), Energy projectiles (like plasma/BFG) and visual effects (like the bouncing pieces of a destroyed stone monster)
Class MagicShieldImp : DoomImp
{
Default
{
Tag "Magic shield imp";
Health 500;
Tags "Monster", "Demons", "MediumEnemy", "ImpVariant";
Scale 1.15;
}
Int Tickie;
Override Void Tick()
{
Super.Tick();
Tickie++;
If(Tickie>=35)
{
Tickie=0;
A_DestroyNearProjectiles();
}
}
Virtual Void A_DestroyNearProjectiles()
{
Actor mo;
[Insert thinker iterator snippet here]
{
If(mo && mo.bMissile && mo.CheckTag("Projectile") && !mo.CheckTag("MagicalProjectile")
&& !mo.CheckTag("EnergyProjectile") && !mo.CheckTag("VisualEffect")
&& mo.target!=self && Distance3D(mo)<=256)
{
Mo.ExplodeMissile(); // makes the projectile blow
}
}
}
}
some new functions example:
CheckTag: self explanatory
A_AddTag: Adds a new tag
A_RemoveTag: Removes the specified tag
A_SetTags: Remove all tags and then adds the new ones
A_RemoveTags: Removes all tags
and properties:
Tags: same as A_SetTags
RemoveTag: same as A_RemoveTag
ClearTags: same as A_RemoveTags
the Monster flag combo will also set the "Monster" tag
same for the Projectile flag combo
If you are not sure about what's a flag combo: https://zdoom.org/wiki/actor_properties#Flag_Combos
Remember, this is just a suggestion, thanks for the attention. |
