help me with my project, please!

[Hitscanning_scumbag]

Hey all. got a few questions here. If this contradicts any rules I promise i didn't know about it. and will edit my post accordingly given the chance. i'm not here to cause trouble.

 

Question 1: i cant seem to remember how to extend the effective range of a melee weapon, how do? -SOLVED!

 

question 2: when choosing a difficulty i want to make it look like halo, meaning the text shows up Somewhere around the picture,(See attachment for example.) I've seen this done somewhere

but i can't remember where. i think it has something to do with sbar or mapinfo.

 

question 3: I'm trying to craft a resident evil 4 style inventory system, but so far i cant even get the image to show up in the right place...can anyone point me to a proper tutorial? -Solved!

 

Hopefully it goes without saying but I have searching for a while trying to find the answers listed here. idk if i typed something wrong? but i cant find anything on google. any help appreciated.

 

 

Edited June 24, 2021 by Hitscanning_scumbag : Not quite clear enough, problem 3 solved

I can only answer question 2.

 

So here's the answer, make a wide graphic and put them in slade 3 in a wad file then name that graphic M_SKULL1 then copy paste and name that copy M_SKULL2

 

(also sorry I couldn't answer the other questions, I don't know that much about what was said in them)

im sorry could you be a little more specific? isnt M_skull1 and M_SKULL2 the doom menu skull? what do i do with it? (i forgot to mention this is a hexen mod, but the same idea should work i think)

also if you need me to eleaborate, dont be afraid to ask! im very forthcoming.

and i can only answer the first question.

 

So if replacing a weapon:

1. inherit from the weapon you want to update, like this

Actor RESIfist : Fist Replaces Fist (3456 = optional, only type if you want it to be picked up)

this code will just basicly up date the doom fist

 

    2. do some properties ( if wanted) for the weapon, and then replace the fire state. When you find the melee function of the weapon (a_punch), replace it with a_custompunch, from there just type in the range section the range you want to make

 

but making a custom weapon:

do the typical prosedure of typing, and just use a_custompunch in your weapon.

 

other tip i can give is checking out zdoom wiki

(just typed that so i can get notified for replies)
