[LorddRaptorr]

Hi. I make new mod and try to add a strategy element. I have barracks which can reproduce unit. As resources i use clip. 

PROBLEM:

Barracks cannot count how many clips have player, and cannot substrackt it

 

Is it possible for monster counted clips and substrackt it?

 

HELP PLEASE!

 

Code Example in Decorate:

 

ACTOR Barracks
{
Health 1300
Mass 9999
Radius 78
Speed 1
Height 82
MONSTER

    PainChance "HoldPos", 255
States
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0 NoDelay
TNT1 A 0 Thing_ChangeTID(0, 2700)
BRDT C 1
Goto Spawn+2

 

 

 

 

//PROBLEM DOWN

////////////////

pain.Holdpos:

BRDT C 1
{
    if(CountInv("Clip")>1) //PROBLEM HERE!!!!!!
    {
        setstatelabel("Makeunit"); //A_Jump not work but setstatelabel work
    }
    else
    {
       A_PlaySound("NO");
    }    
}
goto Spawn+2

////////////////

 

 

 

Makeunit:
BRDT C 30 bright A_SpawnItemEX("Marine",150, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); 
Goto Spawn+2
}
}

Of course it doesn't work, the actor who calls the function will count how many "clips" (bullets) he has, that's why CountInv() has a second argument to allow modders to count items in other actors inventories.

 

Since you're calling the function from the pain state, you can use the monster target pointer to get whatever actor made him enter that pain state, which I presume it will be the player.

THANK YOU!) ITS WORKING!)

if(CountInv("Clip", AAPTR_TARGET)>1)
    {

A_TakeFromTarget("Clip",1,AAPTR_TARGET);//AAPTR_TRACER//subtracts clips from player
        setstatelabel("Makeunit"); //A_Jump not work but setstatelabel work
    }
