How to make a wall texture cause damage to the player when they are touching it?

[Johnny_Vicc_007]

Hello everyone! I wanted to know if it's possible to make a wall texture cause damage to the player upon touching it in GZDoom Builder. In my case, the texture I want to inflict damage with is a wall texture of earth with thorny vines. Is it possible to achieve this through texture properties or by using an ACS script? If an ACS script is needed, could you recommend a ready-made script that could work with the texture? Just to clarify, I want the texture to inflict a minimum of 5 damage to the player.

The easiest way is to place a damaging sector in front of the linedef

 

 

edit for reference:

this method damages continuously while on this sector

while the acs script will damage once when the linedef is bumped

I think this should work too :)

#include "zcommon.acs"

script "Damage Player" (void)

{
	DamageThing(5,0);//Damage the activator of the script by 5
	Delay(35);//Wait a second
}

 

On the lines you wish to hurt the player use Action 80 Script Execute and set the activation to repeatable / When player bumps. :)

Acho que isso também deveria funcionar :)

Thank you very much! The code worked, and the wall texture is causing damage to the player.
