Classes:CustomPickupInvasionSpot

Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things: You do NOT need to copy that actor, since it is already defined. In fact, it's not just useless, it will cause problems. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them.

Warning: This class is a Skulltag-specific actor that is not included in ZDoom!

CustomPickupInvasionSpot is the base class for custom Invasion pickups. By inheriting from it you can create spawn spots for new DECORATE powerups, ammo, weapons and other inventory items.

Using in DECORATE

The CustomPickupInvasionSpot base class only needs one property for it to work, which is dropitem.

• dropitem class

The class of the pickup you want the Invasion spot to spawn. Can be used more than once to spawn more than one pickup picked at random.

Examples:

Example of a single custom invasion spot:

actor UltrasphereSpot : CustomPickupInvasionSpot 12345
{
dropitem "UltraSphere"
}

Example of a random custom invasion spot:

actor NewSpheresSpot : CustomPickupInvasionSpot 123456
{
dropitem "UltraSphere"
dropitem "BlackSphere"
}

Using in a map editor

CustomPickupInvasionSpot, like all invasion spots, take 5 special arguments.

• Start Spawn Number

The number of things spawned in the first wave they appear.

• Spawn Delay

The spawn delay in seconds between spawning things.

• Round Spawn Delay

The delay in seconds from the start of the wave before spawning things.

• First Appear Wave

The wave that the things start spawning in.

• Max Spawn

The maximum number of pickups that can be spawned by this spot.

Invasion Formula

On any given wave, the number of pickups that will be spawned is determined by this formula:

(Difficulty Modifier ^ Wave Age) * Starting Amount

The difficulty modifier is 2 for I'm too young to die and Hey, not too rough, 1.75 for Hurt me plenty, and 1.6225 for Ultra-Violence and Nightmare!.

Wave age is determined by using the current wave and substracting First Appear Wave (with a minimum of 0).

The starting amount is the value given in the first argument, Start Spawn Number.

The given value is then limited to Max Spawn Number.
