Can't make mines explode

[SonicTheDalek]

I am trying to make a character be a minelayer but when an enemy hits the mines they don't blow up like they're supposed to. Here's the code for the mine so it can be figured out more easily.

Thing 303
MAPTHINGNUM = -1
SPAWNSTATE = 1709
SPAWNHEALTH = 1000
SEESTATE = 0
SEESOUND = 140

PAINSTATE = 0
PAINCHANCE = 0
PAINSOUND = 0
MELEESTATE = 0
MISSILESTATE = 0
DEATHSTATE = 901
DEATHSOUND = 35
XDEATHSTATE = 0

FRAME 1709

SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0
DURATION = 3
NEXT = 1710

FRAME 1710
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 1
DURATION = 3

FRAME 1711
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 65536
DURATION = 3
NEXT = 1712

FRAME 1712
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 65537
DURATION = 3
NEXT = 1713

FRAME 1713
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 131072
DURATION = 3

FRAME 1714
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 131073

They would explode for other players if they were springs, but then that doesn't work on enemies because they can't use springs.

And mine's don't really work on enemies anyway. The chance of them hitting it is slim.

Drat. Basically what I'm trying to do is to make the mines explode on contact with both enemies and players.

Missiles don't function properly unless they're moving at least a little. Try using A_MoveRelative to make the object "vibrate"

Draykon's ingenuity strikes again. ^^

 

[Chaos Knux]

All hail the mighty Draykon! *Volt Tackle'd*

So, what values does this require to make it vibrate?

EDIT: Okay, I've tried to make the mines vibrate but they aren't really doing what they're supposed to, instead they go slowly hurtling off to one direction in a very retarded way. Here's what I have added to the object's states.

FRAME 1715
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 196608
DURATION = 3
NEXT = 1716
ACTION A_MoveRelative
VAR1 = 90
VAR2 = 1

FRAME 1716
SPRITENUMBER = 200
SPRITESUBNUMBER = 196609
DURATION = 3
NEXT = 1715
ACTION A_MoveRelative
VAR1 = 270
VAR2 = 1

I mean, this is really urgent as I need the character to be released by either later today or tomorrow.

 

[Princess Plushima]

In all honesty, I'm not sure a proper "mine" attack has ever been created with SOCs. So I'm not totally sure how to make it work perfectly. So bear with me if I'm guessing.

It's a longshot, but try just using 0 and 180, rather than 90 and 270.
Also, make sure the "mine" object's "speed" value is 0.

 

[SonicTheDalek]

I've actually did that already, before I posted the code, and it still hasn't worked.

EDIT: Oh well, if that hasn't worked, I guess I'll have to make the mine behave like a Deton instead.

EDIT 2: And that doesn't work, either! :(

EDIT 3: Aah, screw mines, this is going to be scrapped. Mines cancelled kthanxbai... *shot for HMS123311 reference*

 

[Sik]

And then sudden of all mines work... *shot* Seriously, that always happens XD

 

[A-star]

A_explode is your friend

 

[Princess Plushima]

...

astar wins for pointing out the overlooked obvious.

Edit: Wait, that would just make the mines deal damage, not actually explode or disappear.

 

[A-star]

hm... try using A_look with PainChance 1. Then the next frame would be A_ringexplode. Your Explosion object? I dunno.And The next State would be:

0- S_null

[/code]

 

[Sik]

The next state should be S_DISS :P

 

[A-star]

You tricked me into looking at SOCedit to find that...

::EDIT::

If you give me the sprites,I will give you a WAD with it.

It does exist, all objects that disappear finish up in that state o_o'

 

[SonicTheDalek]

Well, I lost the sprites on this computer, but I do have them on another one. :/

Why don't you use some temporary sprites? I can replace those with the proper ones myself later. Also, the two sprites used for this should be named F010A0 and F010B0.
