My map for Test-server

BeerVial

The code is same as original, BUT there is 1 more line, so they also add Fatness to player. This was done to see who was playing, and who was hanging out in the "bar" instead.

This acts as an "antidote" to BeerVial -- resets Fatness to default (0%).

P.s. I'm not really a programmer, so if you know a way to really "expand" class (add just what's changed without rewriting from scratch), I'd be grateful.

Ah, didn't notice the fatness change code.

But another point here:

Code: Select all

P.Fatness +=1;
if (P.Fatness >= 255) P.Fatness = 255;

What will happen if Player's fatness is already at 255, what is the maximum value of type BYTE? An overflow happens, what might set the value to 0 (depening on engine code). Worst case would be that the neighbour memory cell is changed, too.
Better approach:

Code: Select all

if (P.Fatness < 255) P.Fatness++;

if you know a way to really "expand" class (add just what's changed without rewriting from scratch), I'd be grateful.

Try this:

Code: Select all

class BeerVial expands HealthVial;

auto state MyPickup expands Pickup
{	
	function Touch(actor Other) {
	local Name CurrentState;
	
		if (IsInState('Sleeping')) // nothing to do for me
		{
			Super.Touch(Other);
			return;
		}	
		CurrentState = GetStateName();
		Super.Touch(Other);
		// has item been picked up so that the state has changed to 'Sleeping'?
		if (GetStateName() != CurrentState && GetStateName() == 'Sleeping')
			if (Pawn(Other) != None && Pawn(Other).Fatness < 255)
				Pawn(Other).Fatness++;
	}
}

defaultproperties {
	PickupMessage="You drank a Health Beer +"
	ItemName="Health Beer"
	PickupSound=Sound'CompuSFX.(All).drinkgulp'
	MultiSkins(0)=Texture'GenFluid.Water.Water'
	MultiSkins(1)=WetTexture'FireEng.redlavax'
	MultiSkins(2)=WetTexture'FireEng.PitLava'
}

Oops, that has to be fixed on server.

Done.

[Aphex]

Wow, thanks!

Question:
When further editing the map, should I download "patched" version from your server instead of using original files? So I'd work with Actors introduced by Map Patcher (such as the Creature Factory you mentioned).

All these changes exist only in memory! The map file is not changed in any way.

such as the Creature Factory you mentioned

An improved version of SBProperyChanger will be released soon - with that you can also change descendants of stock classes, for example by using FilterTag=myTag and FilterIsOfClass=CreatureFactory.
