hey so I need more mod help and shit

[Vanessa]

I'm gonna make another DooM mod soon. I'm hoping to have @Doomkid do the maps and I have asked if he can. Anyways, that is not the point of this thread: I wanted to ask two questions so I could get help with the topics.

Question number one: How do I get one custom monster to replace more than one vanilla monster in SLADE 3? Can I even do that?
Question number two: What if I make two custom weapons replace one vanilla weapon so that sometimes you get one custom weapon, sometimes you get the other, would that work? Would it fuck my mod up?

For question 1, I would create your new monster and replace one monster, then create an inherited copy to replace the other.

Like so:

Quote

ACTOR NewMonster REPLACES FirstMonster {}

ACTOR NewMonsterCopy : NewMonster REPLACES SecondMonster {}

 

For question 2, you can use a RandomSpawner to spawn one or the other but I don't know if it's possible to restrict the other from being able to be taken. Maybe a condition check in each one to see if the player posseses the other, then fail the pickup based on that.

Thanks! Really helped a lot man. :)

I would use a RandomSpawner to replace each monster, and have both of them spawn the same new monster.

EDIT: Actually, it doesn't need to be a RandomSpawner. Something like this:

Actor FirstMonster2 Replaces FirstMonster
{
  -SOLID
  Height 0
  Radius 0
  +NOGRAVITY
  States
  {
    Spawn:
      TNT1 A 0
      TNT1 A 1 A_SpawnItemEx("NewMonster",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_TRANSFERAMBUSHFLAG)
      Stop
  }
}

Actor SecondMonster2 : FirstMonster2 Replaces SecondMonster {}

...that's already how I do it

But thank you for trying to help me!
