Strife Burn/Disintegration death working for DoomPlayer BUT another problem still

[Gokuma]

Keeping dying normal death and normal gib frames.

 

First I tried:

ACTOR MyDOOMPlayer : DoomPlayer replaces DoomPlayer
{
    States
    {
    Burn:
        BURN A 3 Bright A_ItBurnsItBurns
        BURN B 3 Bright A_DropFire
        BURN C 3 Bright A_Wander
        BURN D 3 Bright A_NoBlocking
        BURN E 5 Bright A_DropFire
        BURN FGH 5 Bright A_Wander
        BURN I 5 Bright A_DropFire
        BURN JKL 5 Bright A_Wander
        BURN M 5 Bright A_DropFire
        BURN N 5 Bright A_CrispyPlayer
        BURN OPQPQ 5 Bright
        BURN RSTU 7 Bright
        BURN V -1
        Stop
    Disintegrate:
        DISR A 5 A_PlaySoundEx("misc/disruptordeath", "Voice")
        DISR BC 5
        DISR D 5 A_NoBlocking
        DISR EF 5
        DISR GHIJ 4
        MEAT D -1
        Stop
    Firehands:
        WAVE ABCD 3
        Loop
    Firehandslower:
        WAVE ABCD 3
        Loop
    }
}

 

So then I tried:

ACTOR MyDOOMPlayer : StrifePlayer replaces DoomPlayer

Got it working, thanks to Nevander posting this for something else:

gameinfo { playerclasses = "NewDoomPlayer" }

to set a new player class as the only class.

 

So I did that.  And just cut off the "replaces DoomPlayer" from the new actor.

[UndeadRyker]

If I remember right you should give something like a projectile or enemy attack a damage type that should cause that death type to play.

[Gokuma]

Already did.   IceDeath works fine for anyone, while Disintegration and Burn work fine for any enemies I give the frames to but not the player.

[UndeadRyker]

I haven't touched ZDoom scripting in ages so I'm probably not the right person to answer. But have you tried Death.Disintegrate, and Death.Burn respectively as your state names already?

[Gokuma]

Thanks but just tried those as well as Death1.Burn and Death1.Disintegrate.   Still no luck.

 

Also just a note on the stuff I first posted.   For Zandronum to run and not throw an error, in the shorter example of just inheriting DoomPlayer to replace it, you can't have the two code pointers that need to be inherited from StrifePlayer so I was using the enemy version of burn death with A_PlaySoundEx("human/imonfire", "Voice") instead of A_ItBurnsItBurns and with A_CrispyPlayer just deleted.

double post - Please delete

[Gokuma]

Ran into another problem.   Skin wads wouldn't work with this.   So I inherited the DoomPlayer instead of Strife.   Changed the player burn frames to enemy burn frames which is simply changes A_ItBurnsItBurns to A_PlaySoundEx("human/imonfire", "Voice") and removes A_CrispyPlayer, since those two code pointers require you to inherit the StrifePlayer.    Fortunately with the new player class being added and set as the only class, my original intention of the DoomPlayer having these custom deaths works.

 

The problem seems to be that you either can't have Skins when inheriting the StrifePlayer or you can't have a burning player see their helpless waving burning hands when inheriting the DoomPlayer.  If I can't have both, having Skins work is the easy choice.    Can't find anything for player actors that either allows or disallows skins and just seems to be a totally unspecified hardcoded thing native to certain Player actors.

 

Either way I have the hands lower pointer removed from the FireHandsLower frames and added a final frame of just black charred hands still up (pretty morbid eh?).
