Actions don't run when a mobj is first spawned, that A_FindTarget isn't being fired. You can either add "MF_RUNSPAWNFUNC" to its flags, or just add another spawn state that transitions into that one. Additionally, speed should be a multiple of FRACUNIT, try writing "3*FRACUNIT" instead.

Oh my god an update after FIVE YEARS?!?!??!! I forgot this thread is ancient and the download link is in this page, NOT the actual addon page, so I thought the link was permanently lost, so I re-wrote the entire thing in 2 hours. Funny. Added options to : -Align the map to a corner -Offset it...

AI is a great tool for coding if: -You know what you're doing -The internet has a massive surplus of documentation for the medium you're coding in Most kids on this forum fail the former. The lack of publicly available complex and well-written Lua code for SRB2 fails the latter. I'd hate for...

That's because MobjThinker hooks that don't have an object type target (like MT_BLUECRAWLA) apply to EVERY mobj that doesn't have MF_NOTHINK. Which means massive lag, so it's on the chopping block for 2.3 (I think). Ideally you'd put this on the MobjSpawn hook, but you can't, because MobjSpawn...

I love (read: hate) how the kids in this community are so deeply engrossed in consumer culture that they simply cannot comprehend the idea of a content creator being burnt out on constantly being hounded for their latest endeavor, while playing with their previous works for like....a week? at...

To be fair, everyone SHOULD be doing this, omitting them from SRB2's BLua was a bad crutch

HUGE fan of the level design for both this and Deep Sea! It captures the essence of modern Sonic gameplay while also making nods to SRB2's own level design (making me feel nostalgic for levels that are currently in the game, go figure). The cutaway camera and transitional rails do wonders for...

I'm assuming the enemies you spawn create their own copies, since "doitonce" doesn't actually do anything. if mo.doitonce == true return end after line 4, and mo.extraenemy.doitonce = true after line 16 should most likely work. There are more elegant ways to handle it but whatever.

No, STR_STOMP is for bouncing on objects. STR_FLOOR breaks floors. I mentioned STR_BOUNCE because not only does it combine the two, it also automatically resets the flags once the character's animation changes, so that the coder doesn't have to remove them manually. Wherever you have the stomp...

The wiki is sadly just documentation, it's there to explain the exposed data to someone who already knows what to do. If you want to understand WHAT you need to do in order to accomplish something, try finding a mod that does that thing (or something similar) in SLADE, and deeply examining it...

Did you try player.powers[pw_strong] = STR_BOUNCE?

It's possible, but it would immediately introduce a dichotomy between modders who use it as a pseudo-Custom 4 and people who don't want to turn it back on just to try out said mods. Not worth the headache IMO.

8 pages and I've yet to see the benefits of calling this an art community it's a nebulous descriptor at best (everything is art so what do they even do?) and misleading at worst (oh I think they draw stuff???)

You need to hold a custom counter inside the player, and decrease it every time they use their ability. If the counter hits 0, don't let them activate it again until they hit the ground, then reset the counter. local max_count = 3 local function PlayerAbilityCheck(p) --set counter if the...
