if zombie touches the player?

[ThePlasticBling]

i tried this:

Code: Select all

void () attacked
{     
   precache_model ("progs/zombie.mdl");
   if (self.touch = "zombie.mdl");
};

but i need some help. im kind of new to quakec

I can already see a few Problems.

First off, You tried precacheing a model in an ordinary function. You can only do a precache when Something is spawned.

void () attacked
{
precache_model ("progs/zombie.mdl");
if (self.touch = "zombie.mdl");
};

2nd of all, you forgot the equal sign after attacked

void () attacked =

Third, You didn't give the if statement anything to do, and you only did one equal sign. When doing an if statement, and showing equality, you must do 2 equal signs.

if (self.touch == "zombie.mdl");
{} //Do nothing

And the next problem is you did "zombie.mdl". That does absolutely nothing. This whole function does not work.

Sorry.

can you please show me an example of what will work? thanx

So what do you want to happen if self touches a zombie? An explosion?

And who are you referring to? Do you mean if the Zombie touches something or the Player touches something? I know you are new and all, But you must portray your goal in a more detailed manner.

k sorry. I want to make it so when the zombie and player touch each other, or collide, the player loses half health. and this is kind of off topic but i want to make it so in 5 seconds, the players health goes back to full.

Hmm, Well here might be something:

void() zomb_touch =
{
if (other.classname != "player") //if it isn't the player, than stop the function
return;
other.health -= 50; //Adjustable health
};

void() monster_zombie =
{
if (deathmatch)
{
remove(self);
return;
}

precache_model ("progs/zombie.mdl");
precache_model ("progs/h_zombie.mdl");
precache_model ("progs/zom_gib.mdl");

precache_sound ("zombie/z_idle.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_idle1.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_shot1.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_gib.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_pain.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_pain1.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_fall.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_miss.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/z_hit.wav");
precache_sound ("zombie/idle_w2.wav");

self.solid = SOLID_SLIDEBOX;
self.movetype = MOVETYPE_STEP;

setmodel (self, "progs/zombie.mdl");

setsize (self, '-16 -16 -24', '16 16 40');
self.health = 60;

self.th_stand = zombie_stand1;
self.th_walk = zombie_walk1;
self.th_run = zombie_run1;
self.th_pain = zombie_pain;
self.th_die = zombie_die;
self.th_missile = zombie_missile;
self.touch = zomb_touch;

if (self.spawnflags & SPAWN_CRUCIFIED)
{
self.movetype = MOVETYPE_NONE;
zombie_cruc1 ();
}
else
walkmonster_start();
};

Code is not tested.

it didnt work. do you think it would be easier to make the zombie just melee? so basically, overall, i just want the zombie to melee instead of throw grenades. I have half of it accomplished because the zombie walks at you instead of throwing grenades. but now i need the zombie to hit you when it gets close enough.

You have to have melee animations ya know.

[ThePlasticBling]

yeah i know but i need a code to accomplish this. any ideas?

I suggest you do some BASIC C tutorials, or get a book on C before you dive head-first into something that you have no idea about what you are doing, because really, even someone who has a tiny bit of a grasp on coding would be able to figure this out...

As said by others in other thread, welcome.

My suggestion to you is: try to learn a bit about QuakeC. There are a good ammount of resources available in this site, either language specs, tutorials, examples and a cool community of modders.

As well as the awesome tutorials here on inside3d, check out coffees tutorials, and a bunch of stuff at quaddicted.

You can also do a search on this forum; as a newb, I've gotten some really good answers to basic, fundamental questions.
