I'm really into the vavoomc progs now. Okay so now i want to make a helper marine but if i make it a bot wouldn't i have to add consele command add bot to get it to show up in my map? or is it easier just to make a good monster who attacks other monsters?

Probably a new monster will be easier, since bots currently are designed for deathmatch only. But if you want, you can also fix bots to work cooperatively in coop mode.

I'm going with the good monster... so far i got it all set up but my new marine edited from a zombieman just sits there and do nothing ??? How can i get the marine to attack other monsters? Also i'm using the player doom model that shows up but not the doom guys gun? Here is the marine.vc: class Marine:Pawn __mobjinfo__(230); __states__ { S_P_STND('PLAY', 0, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 0, -1.0, S_NULL) { } S_P_RUN1('PLAY', 0, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 1, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_RUN2) { } S_P_RUN2('PLAY', 1, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 2, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_RUN3) { } S_P_RUN3('PLAY', 2, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 3, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_RUN4) { } S_P_RUN4('PLAY', 3, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 4, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_RUN1) { } S_P_ATK1('PLAY', 4, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 5, 12.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY) { } S_P_ATK2('PLAY', 5 | FF_FULLBRIGHT, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 6, 6.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_ATK1) { } S_P_PAIN('PLAY', 6, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 7, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_PAIN2) { } S_P_PAIN2('PLAY', 6, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 8, 4.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY) { A_Pain(); } S_P_DIE1('PLAY', 7, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 9, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE2) { } S_P_DIE2('PLAY', 8, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 10, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE3) { A_PlayerScream(); } S_P_DIE3('PLAY', 9, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 11, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE4) { A_Fall(); } S_P_DIE4('PLAY', 10, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 12, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE5) { } S_P_DIE5('PLAY', 11, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 13, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE6) { } S_P_DIE6('PLAY', 12, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 14, 10.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_DIE7) { } S_P_DIE7('PLAY', 13, 'players/doomguy/tris.md2', 15, -1.0, S_NULL) { } S_P_XDIE1('PLAY', 14, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 0, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE2) { } S_P_XDIE2('PLAY', 15, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 1, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE3) { A_XScream(); } S_P_XDIE3('PLAY', 16, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 2, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE4) { A_Fall(); } S_P_XDIE4('PLAY', 17, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 3, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE5) { } S_P_XDIE5('PLAY', 18, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 4, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE6) { } S_P_XDIE6('PLAY', 19, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 5, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE7) { } S_P_XDIE7('PLAY', 20, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 6, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE8) { } S_P_XDIE8('PLAY', 21, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 7, 5.0 / 35.0, S_PLAY_XDIE9) { } S_P_XDIE9('PLAY', 22, 'players/doomguy/xplode.md2', 8, -1.0, S_NULL) { } } defaultproperties { Health = 20; GibsHealth = -20; Radius = 20.0; Height = 56.0; Mass = 100.0; StepSpeed = 8.0; PainChance = 0.78125; IdleState = S_P_STND; SeeState = S_P_RUN1; MissileState = S_P_ATK1; PainState = S_P_PAIN; DeathState = S_P_DIE1; GibsDeathState = S_P_XDIE1; SightSound = 'ZombieSight1'; ActiveSound = 'ZombieActive'; AttackSound = 'PistolFire'; PainSound = 'ZombiePain'; DeathSound = 'ZombieDeath1'; } //************************************************************************** // // $Log: Marine.vc,v $ // Revision 1.1 2002/10/26 16:32:19 dj_jl // New style of defining classes. // //**************************************************************************

Zombieman in states had A_Look and A_Chase functions. You should similary put such functions, such as A_FriendlyLook and A_FriendlyChase (you''ll have to create them) to make him do something. As of weapon, player model itself is without model, por players the weapon model for current weapon is attached to the main model. Since your marine is not a player, it will not have a model.

It seem's a little tough now. Is there some .vc file i would have to edit the new functions in and then put them in my marine .vc file so it would work? i thought all the functions came from the actor.vc file?

Just copy the functions A_Look and A_Chase to your marine .vc file, rename them and then modify them.

So far i just redone the marine\monster. The thing is it attacks both monsters and players alike. is there a way i can make the marine\monster ignor the player?

Janis Legzdinsh

With a little bit of extra code it should be prety easy. All you need to add is checks to see if enemy is player, and if so, ignore it. Probably this would require a new search for monsters function that ignores players and some changed in Damage function to not get angry at players.
