Some Zdoom scripting questions

[LogicDeLuxe]

I'm new to Zdoom scripting and I have some questions. (I read the zdoom documentations, they are quite old though)

Is it possible to let one monster kill a very certain other monster?

Can I adjust the health points of a certain monster during the game?

Is there a tutorial showing how to setup the path nodes? Can I change the route of a monster during the game?

Looks like you read the wrong version of the documentation then :). The one you should be looking at is constantly being updated, and can be found here.

Also the ZDoom forums are useful. Either to ask questions or search problems that have already been solved.

Yes. Look here: http://zdoom.org/wiki/wiki.phtml?title=Thing_Hate

Can I adjust the health points of a certain monster during the game?

Yes. Use the ACS command SetActorProperty(tid, APROP_Health, newhealth);

Is there a tutorial showing how to setup the path nodes? Can I change the route of a monster during the game?

Thanks. This should be helpful.

A downloadable version of that documentations would be even better, though.


Another question: Can I declare arrays?

yes

int something[4] = { 1, 5, 3, 9 };

That would go from something[0] to something[3].

I'm not sure if it should be 4 or 3... maybe all my arrays always have another spot.
