Function for changing depending on what's in the player's inventory at start?

[colBoh]

Doing some coding. I know that A_JumpIfInTargetInventory changes depending on whether the target has a specific item in their inventory, i.e. a player having a backpack or a BFG. Is there any way to check the player's inventory at the start of a level?

 

What I want to try to do is make a mod that replaces existing enemies with slightly different ones, i.e. a ZombieMan with a ShotgunGuy. I want the enemies to get stronger and strong in later levels. Any idea how, or IF I can code that?

I guess you could do an OPEN script in ACS that checks for each item, but I don't know if there's a replace function.

 

Maybe you could put in the Spawn state of each monster a way to check the return value of the ACS script and, based on it, removing the monster and spawning a new one with A_SpawnItemEx?

With event handlers you should be able to do all of this, even though it is not an easy task
