Need some scripting help, idk what i'm doing.

[loplop6754]

So, i'm working a new map, and one of the gimmicks is speed based platforming. Problem is, IDK how to edit player speed. I've read various fourm posts on this topic, and one even gave me the code I would most likely need (can provide code, and the author's name for credit if either is needed) So, I have two scripts, both in ACS (p sure) format. I compiled them, didn't help. So, what I gathered is I need to edit the map data somehow, but I can't figure out how to do this. All my prior mapping has been purely sector based, I have never coded a single script for doombuilder. If you can help at all, thanks. Also, ik I probably need to provide additional info, so lmk what you need.

If you only want to change speed globally, it's very easy to edit in DECORATE by inheriting DoomPlayer and changing the Player.ForwardMove and Player.SideMove properties. Then, adding the class in MAPINFO.

 

If you want to change it on the fly in specific zones on maps, that's more complicated. You can set up sectors with SecActEnter and SecActExit sector action things to increase/decrease player speed or adjust velocity.

Try using conveyors. GZDoom should be BOOM Compatible.
