monster editing help

[Doom_master1122]

Ok i have the sprites all made for my wad, and they are loaded into my wad.
My question is, some of my monsters need to be melee attacks only. Such as what once was the Doom imp still shoots fire balls, but i need him to only melee attack not shooting projectiles. Same with like a monster that shoots bullets.
How do i disable their attacks to where they can only melee?

I believe dehacked can do that, but I'm not sure.

[Doom_master1122]

I tried Dehacked. but the thing never boots up.
Is there a way to write it in XWE?

[Patrick]

try WhackEd. its a GUI version of Dehacked. if you're using zdoom, however, you could learn the ways of the decorate...

WhackEd

or learn zdoom DECORATE script zdoom.org/wiki]here

[Doom_master1122]

i learned some DECORATE...
but what flags or properties would I put in for no projectiles or bullets?

just dont have a missle state definition. include the flag +MELEE and dont have a missile state. there is a melee state that can be defined as well.

double post...... never mind i got it




Thanks for the help people.

[Patrick]

yeah, but A_POSATTACK shoots the gun, you might want to add A_CUstomPunch(some params here) that would be a real melee attack

[Doom_master1122]

i put A_melee(attack?) and defined the sound of it.
and it worked

You could try using DosBox to run Dehacked, but I'm not sure if it will, because I haven't downloaded Dehacked into my computer.
