Bashe Posted January 2, 2004 Is it possible to make enemies have 8 sides to thier sprite when they're dead? Normally, they have 8 sides until you kill them, then just 1. Can you add more? 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted January 2, 2004 The frames always use XXXXY0, but you can try using as the last death frame as XXXXY1 - XXXXY8. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted January 2, 2004 Yes you can actually. It's the same for any (and every) other sprite. woota0 = sprite group "woot"; frame "a"; no rotation woota# = sprite group "woot"; frame "a"; angle # woota#a* = sprite group "woot"; frame "a"; angle #, mirror angle * ('woota2a8' is the same as 'woota2' and the same, only mirrored for 'woota8') This is the numbering for frame rotations: FRONT-RIGHT FRONT FRONT-LEFT 8 1 2 ALL RIGHT 7 0 3 LEFT 6 5 4 BACK-RIGHT BACK BACK-LEFT I'm not real sure if i was very clear, but I hope that helped. 0 Share this post Link to post
Hirogen2 Posted January 2, 2004 ravage said:Yes you can actually. [...] This is the numbering for frame rotations: Let me add to it: If you are using ZDoom, you can even have 16 rotations (1,9,2,A,3,B,4,C,5,D,6,E,7,F,8,G) FRONT-RIGHT FRONT FRONT-LEFT 8 G 1 9 2 F A ALL RIGHT 7 0 3 LEFT E B 6 D 5 C 4 BACK-RIGHT BACK BACK-LEFT I'm not real sure if i was very clear, but I hope that helped. I do not know the innards of the Doom engine, but I think A1 (numbered sprites) take precedence over any A0, so that if you have some rotations in the WAD file list, they will be used, regardless of whether you added a SPRIA0 in the last wad. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted January 2, 2004 Hey, could someone post a wad showing examples of ann 8-sided death? Just make more frames of the imp death and post it here. I would do i myself but I am horrible at this kind of stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bashe Posted January 2, 2004 That's a pretty good example of what I'm talking about! 0 Share this post Link to post
dr_st Posted January 2, 2004 Things get even more complicated. You can have sprite numbers like A2A8, A3A7 or A4A6, in which case sprites will be mirrored (the direction corresponding to the first number will show the sprite and the second number will show its mirror image). Many monsters/items use this method. Some monsters even use numbering like B8E2, which means that the sprite used for frame E, direction 2 is the mirror of the sprite used for frame B, direction 8. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bashe Posted January 3, 2004 Anymore wads out there with 8-sided death effects? The player one was kinda bad because I don't play deathmatch. 0 Share this post Link to post
