Creating new breakable wall textures

cage · 04-09-2009, 04:31 PM

Just a quick question: how to make new breakable wall textures - like monitors etc. I've done it by checking the picnum of the wall that shotspark actor hit - it works but only for bullet weapons. Is there a way to make it work with all other projectiles and with hitradius?

I cant help you exactly, but there is code for this in Nuclear Showdown by James Stanfield (JBlade).

The ability to do that is a relatively recent addition to the scripting system. Try checking the htmovflag member of the projectile's sprite structure at the time of impact (in EVENT_KILLIT). Then you use bit manipulation on that member to determine whether the projectile hit something and get the wall ID if it was a wall.

If that's not clear, I can show you some code that does something similar.
