Okay, this is confusing. What is that A_(Blah Blah) and MF_ENEMY anyway? And before someone says to look in SRB2 Wiki, don't. I've already tried that, and it makes me more confused than ever.

 

[Flame]

The "A" in A_(Insert action here) stands for Action.

It is used to define what action you want to give an object, like A_FindTarget or A_AttractChase

As for the MF_Enemy flag:
MF generaly means a flag value. Now, when you use MF_ENEMY on an object, Srb2 will generally think it's an enemy that you get 100 points for if you destroy it.

Oh. So how do I edit these "Actions" to what I want, and how do I change the boss? I have a good idea of a boss but I don't know how to edit yet.

Honestly, five minutes of playing around with SOCEdit should give you a basic idea of the basics.

 

[supersonic45]

Okay. One more question. How do I edit these Actions?

 

[Princess Plushima]

See state editor on SOCEdit.

 

[supersonic45]

I know that, but how do I actually edit them? I've tried everything.

Editing how the Actions work would require a diffrent EXE with a knowledge of C/C++ programming.
Technically, you cannot edit the actions themselves, but they can be used to make a new object.

Unless you version is some how broken. (My situation.) But I don't use that program any way.

Is your SOCedit tool inside your SRC folder?

 

[glaber]

No, it's in the srb2 folder. I don't even have an SRC folder.

 

[Flame]

That's your problem then

the src folder comes in a Winzip file that contains Srb2 source code.

You extract whatever files that are in there and put the SOCedit tool within the src folder

 

[Princess Plushima]

Lol, that's awkward Flame.

You can just point SOCEdit to the src folder using the box in the upper-left. IMO it's much easier to have SOCEdit in the SRB2 Folder :p

And where can I get these programs?

 

[Princess Plushima]

Um, that post makes no mention of any actual programs.

 

[supersonic45]

It says a different EXE, so that must mean a program in my head. Okay, I'll get started on finding what you mean, and then I'll come back with more questions.
