Quakec Function Doubt

[vegetous]

What is the responsabel function for actions like opening doors when a monster is killed? Like in e1m3 when you kill both ogres to have access to the armor.



A adapted a QW multplayer mod to play single player maps, but looks like this is the only trigger not working in all Quake classic maps.

tks!

Something to do with killtarget, perhaps related to SUB_UseTargets (I think?) or somewhere in the monster death code!

Yeah... maybe somebody else knows

[Preach]

The function killed() in combat.qc calls a function monster_death_use(). monster_death_use() is in monsters.qc, and it stops it flying/swimming, then sets activator to self.enemy and calls SUB_UseTargets(). SUB_UseTargets() is in subs.qc, and it's the same function called when you pick up an item that has a target set. So if picking up items is firing triggers correctly then the problem is likely to lie in one of these functions in between.

Solved, tks!

[leileilol]

are you calling us teamkillers because we don't pull that kind of crap online

[scar3crow]

ah cheapalert... he meant teamkillersauce obviously

Is there something missing? It sounded like the flicker of a [spank] flame [/spank] was beginning to flare up.

[Entar]

nah, Cheapy's just annoying that way. Ignore him

tks = thanks

Ok, it's not exactly a official Q-code, but back here in my job we use it!

[Entar]

'round these parts, we use thx, thnx, or thanks.

[scar3crow]

I use thanks for thanks. Or drop ammo pack in TF.

And Entar, it was my intention of defusing anything potentially bad with my silliness, which HeadThump observed rather astutely ; )

[Entar]

k.

Another question, but now about the deathmatch version of the mod.

Sometimes when a player is killed in this mod, he reborn as a zombie (yeah that's cool!), and if he touch the enemy that killed him, the enemy dies too (the player is already dead) and the player gains a frag.



The problem is that in the QW version of the mod, if the player does not move himself, the touch function does not work. I don't know why, but the NQ code is exactly the same and there's no bug in NQ!

Player.qc NQ Source Code - ZUMBI_Touch function at line 1039

Player.qc QW Source Code - ZUMBI_Touch function at line 991

MVD Demo Showing the bug

The TDII Mod (you will need it to see the demo)

This is the last major bug of this mod, I was able to correct all the others but this one I can't!

[vegetous]

Looks like the function is working contrary! When the zumbie touch the player, nothing happens but it works when the player touchs the zombie!

Any tips?

[FrikaC]

Zombies (and all monsters) don't really move and therefore can't trigger a touch.
