The final comic (if you can call it that) was uploaded the moment I had a breakup with an old friend. I had to say goodbye to both in the exact same night.

I saw that last night and was sad.
But then right after Smash 4 was ready to download.

My feelings have never been so confused.

[ScrapHeap]

Yo dawg, I heard you like feels, so I put some feels in your feels, so you can be sad while you're sad.

Oh wait, this is painful.

Even though it's over, I still going to be rooting Matthew on with his upcoming projects.

...but then I saw this on the KickStarter page for the BitF books.

If these goals are hit, perhaps the books' quest will continue even further...?

[Laggy Blazko]

Aaaaand it's out.

[Dr. Crasger]

Oh boy.

I haven't played in months.

Ok, guys. Are you ready to have your mind f-ckin' blown? Because this is going to blow your f-ckin' mind.

Read it, and I'll be here to carry the tissuebox for you.

I've read this countless times and it never ceases to amaze me.

Would anyone know how to make summonable monsters? I'm attempting to make a summoning class, but I dun know how 2 make monzterz, or how to get them to do what I want them to do in the first place

[Russel]

Treble Sentry does pretty much what you're looking for but monsters in ZDoom/Zandronum aren't the most intuitive thing to exist in terms of combat depth. I love would recommend using summoned objects rather than monsters that do something when you attack...sorta like Azir in League of Legends. Monsters are too random and...well...stupid to follow their master so I would advise against using them.

[Ceridran]

I believe that would be pretty hard if you don't plan on making several abilities based on Copy Vision.

A_CustomMissile so far doesn't like to fire attacks at all when my summoned units use it.
At least not properly, for one of them.

[ScrapHeap]

It's basically gonna be a thing like in final fantasy where you summon it, it does its thing, and then it leaves. For example, think of Gaia in FF4. You summoned him, he jumped up and caused a quake, and then left.

[Ceridran]

Yeah, I I think I know what you mean. Here's what I've used, though I wouldn't expect a stable result because it's only been shooting attacks north.

I've included the attack in the second line simply because wanted to have my summoned unit's animations be similar to how the core handles animations, and trying to put the attack in there would be difficult to do that with.
.. Oh, wait, I see. It's actually fairly easy to do it in one actor, isn't it..

I see. Thanks, Ceridran. Hopefully I can get my class working, though I might call on you guys again.

Speaking of, how does one create a monster? Specifically, a sniper joe that acts like the scout from the mission mode, but your ammo bar dictates how high his power is as well as his color.
