Custom Armor & Health Pickups

[Spicy Cacodemon]

I'd like to make some custom armor and health pickups. They don't need to replace the existing ones.

I can't get it to work. BasicArmor, BasicArmorPickup, ArmorBonus, BasicArmorBonus, I don't know what to type.

I keep getting Script error - @actor' is an unknown actor property.

 

Can I get a DECORATE script for a new ACTOR that gives the player 1 armor and one that gives 1 health.

Since this item already exists in the game, I'd say the simplest solution is to use inheritance and change just what you need.

ACTOR OneArmor : ArmorBonus 31000
{
//$Category CustomPowerups
Armor.SaveAmount 3
}

 

It does not replace anything. The number can be changed to most numbers up to 32000 something. The item is a regular armor bonus, but gives 3 armor. The part that starts with // puts the actor in a folder with the name of the category in editor, so it's easier to find. Let's say you want to give it a different sprite.

 

ACTOR OneArmor : ArmorBonus 31000
{
//$Category CustomPowerups
Armor.SaveAmount 3
States
  {
  Spawn:
  SOUL ABCDCB 6 Bright
  Loop
  }
}

 

Now they look like Soulspheres.

 

Same would go for the health bonus, you can check the actor definitions:

If you want to make a new one from scratch, just use inheritance from their parent classes and take a look at what properties they have. Or add some new. :)
