The "How do I make a weapon do that?" thread

[Ukiyama]

Alright, is there a way to give a inventory through a attack that gives itself to everyone on my team who is near the attack? Seems like one of my weapons can't seem to do it when I thought it could, stupid bots musta jumped and made me think it actually made it rise

Okay, I want to make a Rockman Cross X weapon but I need to know if it's possible. Can these 2 things be properly done? And if so, what should I do to do it?

1) After the projectile hits the player (not a wall or anything), I want it to spawn different projectile backwards that chases the player that fired it. Thing is, it HAS to only chase the attacker AND it must chase them properly, in a way that it can't miss unless they hide behind a wall or something.

2) That projectile that returns must heal the player when it hits them. Would I just make it spawn a +15 health pickup upon death?
It's okay. King Yamato has helped me now.

I have a question:

What code do i need to make the hill(king of the hill mode.)?

I need to get some progress done, cause we need more then rageroboenza.

[ice]

can't really help with those. This one might be simpler though, How do I make a explosive weapon that sends those hit by it, including the user, flying from it (ie. Doom 2's explosives) I'm making a weapon that can be used to rocket jump

[BiscuitSlash]

Let's say I wanted to make a weapon that did this:

When the fire button is pressed, there is a short delay. If the fire button is not held during the delay, then the player fires an attack that gets fired and splits and does stuff. If the fire button IS held during the delay, the player unleashes loads of the same attack at high fire rate until the fire button is no longer help or the ammo runs out.

How would I do this?

Hold state, most definitely.

[BiscuitSlash]

I'm not very good with the hold states. Even when I duplicate other hold state weapons like mirror buster, it seems a lot like it's just a normal repeated weapon.
Nvm, I'm moving the hold thing to the altfire, as I'm scrapping the altfire sword idea.

I have a problem....¿Why my weapon is there?
Can someone help me? is PNG format and when I put in the sprites directory and I play....
the weapon is misframing (or out of position).
I,m using "Paint"......
I read the weapons template but I,m new in that (I dont have much idea of codes...)
Thanks for read.

What is the flag used in the Turbosphere that leaves the trail of the player using it and is it possible to use it on a weapon?

[Ukiyama]

I'm not 100 percent sure but I know the speed power up can cause a trail and you could probably make it not give any speed increase and still have the trail. http://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:PowerSpeed

ACS. Yeah.

I want to learn ACS, especially after hearing it's not that bad (people say that because I can C++). I don't want to have to scour Doom Wiki every five seconds; I want to get a nice tutorial that covers all the bases and goes over more than just a handful of ACS actions.

Anyone know where I can get the crash course on Skulltag coding? :?
