as you all might be catching on, these errors stump me and foil me plans
i really cant under stand this one because it spit a bunch of numbers out at me

any help is apprecated (as i cant seem to help myself at all with these things)

yet another mid night posting, will it make sence this time in the morning?

You're using the explosion sprite without a think function? Wouldn't that look a bit ugly?

Or more specifically, if you set the nextthink without setting the think function, then you'll get the exact same symptoms as shown (the engine detects the nextthink, clears the field, calls the think function... then finds that its not set! panic!).

htat helped a bit but now it has a probem with shooting nails

and it will still crash if it dosent touch a monster, perhaps the code is fubar (like aways)

Code: Select all

Either that is old code, or you ignored what I said.

[MeTcHsteekle]

...ooooh did u mean under the W_fire functin??

because what i did was i saw some of the next thinks where before the first thinks :0 ill trya and add thinks to the right places now ;]

[MeTcHsteekle]

well it works now...kinda it sorta flys one fire out and then shoots nails and apperantly if i dont have nails it will skipp to the lightning gun [wich nake sence, but not wanted]

i think its the think i used

i did

w_fire napalm think as Flame_Burn hmmm perhaps Flame_Think??

that seems to make sence because thats the think function

bah i guess ill guess right eventully

[Spike]

I would recommend SUB_Remove.

[MeTcHsteekle]

thank you the flamethrowerpart works now [extended the nextthink time]

now i have to figure out why it only shoots once per click and why it shoots lightning along with it [ seems to be somthing to do with the frame im starting the player in "lightattack_1" or somthing]

[Orion]

Instead of calling player_light1(); at W_Attack(), you can call either player_shot1(); or player_rocket1();

Otherwise the player will shoot 2 weapons at once... don't forget to call W_FireFlame(); below player_shot1() at the flamethrower attack part.

Hope this helps.

[MeTcHsteekle]

oh so it has to be rock or shot ..ok ill see if i can remeber that from now on

thanks evryone :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D = emence happiness
