Calling state only inside specific sector...

[ManimiFire]

Hey guys, It's me again, and I wanna make a boss that whenever he gets inside specific sector, he calling a specific state from SOC. (The boss itself also built from SOC)

Any ideas?

There are no ways that I know of to do this PURELY with SOCs. However, it is possible with the aid of Lua. The below code, when placed in a lump with a name starting with "LUA_" (the last four characters of the lump name can be whatever you want), will create a custom action that can be used in a SOC just like vanilla actions can be. Simply set the action to A_ChangeStateInSector, var1 to the tag of the chosen sector, and var2 to the desired state.

//If the object that calls this action is in a sector with a tag equal to var1, set it to state var2.
function A_ChangeStateInSector(obj, var1, var2)
	if obj.subsector.sector.tag == var1 then
		obj.state = var2
	end
end
