Ghost Pain Elemental

[Bloodbath Giraffe]

Hello,

 

I want to be extra mean and make one ghost pain elemental. I know it can be done with crushers and and killing the pain elemental before it finishes it death animation, but I cant figure out how to do it. I am UDFM format and any help you me much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

there's probably a more elegant way to do this - be sure you have your gzdoom compat flags set to even allow for it to happen.

 

paincrsh.wad.zip

 

[edit] apparently even with the flag turned on, gzdoom seems to let you shoot the ghosts and they're blocked by blocking lines? i'm not sure if there's another flag i'm missing.

 

[double edit] gzdoom does not support this at all and it has to be hardcoded by the devs apparently. extremely trashy lol https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48068 - the method in the wad is something you can do in other formats though.

 

if you want to use gzdoom and make a ghost PE i'd just use a script to set the PE to have a no interaction flag on it. example"
 

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 ENTER
{
    SetActorFlag(1,"NOCLIP",TRUE);
    SetActorFlag(1,"NOBLOCKMAP",TRUE);
}

the 1 after SetActorFlag will be the thing ID you give the PE(s)
