This is sort of cheating I know, but I really need to add something to a class that I'm making in order to make it interesting.

Is there a way to make the player have really low traction control like in the "Icy Terrain" chaos generator effect? I want the class have slow acceleration, speed up to go really fast and then find it really hard to slow down, just like that effect. I can't do the thing that chaos generator did because that uses setsector effects, not inventory items.

Try to use thrustthing in combination with momx and momy.

actor Slipping : CustomInventory
{
inventory.amount 1
inventory.maxamount 1
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
stop
Pickup:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 0 ThrustThing(0, momx*0.5, 1, 0)
TNT1 A 0 ThrustThing(64, momy*0.5, 1, 0)
stop
}
}

Uh....That will make the player go in directions independent of the direction they are facing.
You need to use angle and angle+64

...This has to do with slide doesn't it.

Short answer: No idea
Long answer: There was an experiment with actor morphing at one point for a different mod, but I'm not sure if that would work well with what you're trying to do.

Uh...morphing would not be the best idea for that one...as it would stop the player entirely for about a second...
Not to mention it would be cheap because without knowledge of ACS, the health would just refill entirely anyway.

Bumping as usual.
(click to show/hide)
When charging the weapon, the player immediately stops charging and executes it's standing/walking frames like it wasn't charging. The HUD will still appear charging, playing the charge sound effect, and the ACS for changing the player's colors still function. However, the one ACS_Execute in the last 3 make the player the standard MegaBuster colors intead of the original SuperAdaptor color.

The "RouletteSoundCheck" is set up so that the sound is supposed to play every three cycles, but does not.

Since I know minimal about making sophistocated weaponry such as this, I've no clue how to bludgeon it into working.

I don't have an answer right now, but I just wanted to stop by and say how much I love you right now. :p


I'll take an in-depth look a little later.

And I am back here again.

Is it possible to make it so a "consumable" item such as Tango and the Rush items cannot be picked up if that person has a specific item/flag in his inventory?

You know weapons that spread in 3 directions. How do you do that? (Not referring to Thunder Beam) I also want to know how to make chargeable weapons.

Chargeable weapons are not hard they're just confusing, I will not explain them here...

But shots can be fired at any angle

A_FireCustomMissile("MissileName", angle[indegrees], useammo[1 for yes, 0 for no], spawn horizontal[8BDM usually uses 8], spawn height[usually 0])

Thanks. At first, I did not understand some parts but I studied them through SlumpEd.

Got a bit of a problem here. It's a charging weapon and it works similar to proto buster and another charging weapon I made, but there's a little problem. Whenever the player fires 2 normal shots quickly, the weapon seems to fault and stop working in a way that you can't do anything more until you die.

Why do you have it jump to Hold instead of Noammo when they have no ammo? I don't know if that's causing any problems, but it seems kind of weird.
