Make Ghost enemies immune to splash damage.

[Doominer441]

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to prevent +THRUGHOST flagged actors from being harmed by splash damage. In my mod I want there to be only one weapon which can harm ghost enemies, but my explosive weapon seems to still hurt them, throwing off the entire gameplay dynamic I'm trying to create. I've looked but there doesn't seem to be a flag or parameter to pass which stops this from happening. Am I just overlooking something or am I shit out of luck?

Can you just set +NORADIUSDMG?

If you can't change the actors, you could always do this in a world event when they spawn

Something like

Code: Select all

class GhostSpawnerEventHandler: EventHandler
{
    override void WorldThingSpawned(WorldEvent e)
    {        
        // Check that the Actor is valid and a monster
        if (e.thing)
        {
            if (e.thing.bIsMonster)
            {
                if (e.thing.bGHOST)
                {
                	e.thing.bNORADIUSDMG = true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Make sure you register the event handler in mapinfo

Code: Select all

gameinfo
{
	// ...
	AddEventHandlers = "BossMakerEventHandler"
}
