Friendly until attacked

[Desdinova]

Is there a way to make enemies friendly until you attack them?

What source port is your .WAD for? This is a very broad question.

There likely is since this can be done in Strife.

If you use ZScript, you can give the monster a +FRIENDLY flag, and override its TakeSpecialDamage:

 

override int TakeSpecialDamage(Actor inflictor, Actor source, int damage, Name damagetype)
{
	if (damage > 0 && source && source.player)
	{
		bFriendly = false;
		target = source;
		lastenemy = null;
	}

	return damage;
}

 

This should make that the monster is initially friendly (attacks enemies) and if it takes damage from a player, it will be no longer friendly.

(code untested as usual)
