Hey

I currently working on a map. Now i need my character to change his angle from north to south.

Using this code:

Code: Select all

Script 06 (void)
{

		SetActorAngle(8,192);
		
}

Why wont it work?, nothing happens.

Because you did something wrong. What, I can't say. There's not enough information here.

[ExtremeMachine]

well what should be wrong? :S, 8 is the thing tag, (player1), and 192 = south angle.

I can't see what i did wrong?

Me neither - because it's impossible to check without the rest of your setup.

You can't give a player a tid by giving it to the player start. You have to allocate a tid to the player via a script.

It worked! =D


This is what i used.

Code: Select all

script 100 enter
{

    Thing_ChangeTID (0, 20);
    SetActorAngle(20, 192);	

}

However , Now to next problem. The value 192=South direction it says on: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Definitions. This wont work for me? :S, it doesn't matter if i change it from 96-224, still the pll facing the same direction. How this come?

Very much thanks! Soon i can stop being a pain in the ass for u guys

Unfortunately, it's not a function that I have ever used, so I don't really know the particulars of it. What I would suggest, however, is that this is really a general Zdoom editing question. Seeing as how the Zdoom forum gets far more visitors than this one, you might get a quicker or fuller response if you ask the question in the editing forum over there.

I worked it out by testing alot.

Anyways, for those who dont know it works like this:

0.25= North
0.50= West
0.75= South
1.0= East

And if you want to face northeast u just change the numbers something between 0 - 0.25, northeast would be 0.125 as 0.25/2 = 0.125.

0.125= Northeast
0.375= Northwest
0.625= Southwest
0.875= Southeast

Over and out!
