How to make objects

[Ryuga_knight]

Ok I'm trying to make a pokemon map and I've ran into one problem. HOW THE HECK DO I MAKE OBJECTS!? I've tried figuring it out my self by looking the Megemangame wad but to no avail. SO could someone please tell me. What I have to work with is SLumpED and Doom Builder.

You can make an actor using DECORATE, load it on Doombuilder and place it anywhere you want.
For example, something like this if you need a new custom powerup or inventory item:

(click to show/hide)

Actor LioHealthBonus : CustomInventory
{
  +COUNTITEM
  +INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP
  Inventory.Amount 1
  Inventory.MaxAmount 200
  Inventory.PickupMessage "You just found the hottest health bonus in the world."
  inventory.pickupsound "misc/healthbonus"
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    BON1 ABCDCB 6
    Loop
  Pickup:
     TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("HealthBonus",1)
   Stop
  }
}

Or this if it's just some decoration:

(click to show/hide)

Actor Barrel
{
  Radius 16
  Height 20
  +SOLID
  states
  {
  Spawn:
     BARR ABCDCB 4
     loop
   }
}

Just don't try copying these, they won't work for you, specially the barrel, it's just random code I just made up. Just use them as a guide and use ZDoom wiki if you don't understand something or for reference.

Also. The Actors in the pk3's not the iwad.

Somewhat. But would be better if we didn't have to resort to Wiki so much.

What I mean is an offline database, such as PDF or a listing program that lists functions and shows what they do with a click.

And what's wrong with an online database?

You can use a tool to download the wiki if you like http://zdoom.org/wiki/Downloading_the_ZDoom_Wiki

I know its never good to bump old and done topics (then again this topic isnt that old) but I need some help badly in making instant death spikes.

I copied the code for the spiney like in bubbleman's stage, its works perfectly when I add any existing sprite code, it even worked when I used
COLD A -1
and it created a coldman army, but when ever I add the code to my spike sprite it just showed a big ! in a diamond. I also tried changing the sprite's name

Code: [Select]

actor sickle 20542
{
//+CLIENTSIDEONLY
PROJECTILE
obituary "AGH"
+RIPPER
Damage (255)
-SOLID
Height 16
radius 16
scale 2.5
+NOGRAVITY
states
{
Spawn:
COLS A -1
stop
}
}
Any tips? I already have a decorate lump and I have the sprite in the wad

(Not the 1st time this has happened, I had mike to help me the first time and we got it to work, but unfortunately I accidently deleted that wad)

[Korby]

Erm...Wouldn't it be
COLS A 1
loop
?

[ice]

I tried that too, I had the code like that because the original code said
BUBS D -1
and the sprites called BUBSD0

the sprite I have is called COLSA0
