DamageMobj

Actor

virtual int DamageMobj(Actor inflictor, Actor source, int damage, Name mod, int flags = 0, double angle = 0)

Usage

Called by the actor whenever it takes damage. Returns the amount of damage the caller actually took from the attack.

Can be both overridden on a specific actor in order to add something to the moment they take damage, and also called on an actor directly to deal damage to them.

Parameters

• Actor inflictor

The actor dealing the damage. This is the missile for projectiles and the puff for hitscan attacks. For monster melee attacks this is the same as the source.

• Actor source

The actor responsible for the inflictor.

• int damage

The amount of damage to deal.

• Name mod

The damage type applied to the attack. Regular attacks use 'Normal', hitscan attacks use 'Hitscan'.

• int flags - The damage flags to use in the attack:

• DMG_NO_ARMOR - The attack won't call AbsorbDamage on any of the victim's inventory items.
• DMG_NO_PAIN - The attack will not cause the victim to enter their Pain state sequence.
• DMG_INFLICTOR_IS_PUFF - Used by ApplyKickback to determine whether the origin should be the source (if the flag is set) or the inflictor. Automatically set by hitscan attacks.
• DMG_THRUSTLESS - The attack won't call ApplyKickback on the victim.
• DMG_FORCED - The attack ignores all damage negation flags/properties the victim has, such as NODAMAGE, and doesn't call special damage functions e.g. TakeSpecialDamage. Players with the NODAMAGE flag, god2, or buddha2 cheats are immune due to potential abuse.
• DMG_NO_FACTOR - The attack won't apply the victim's damage factors.
• DMG_PLAYERATTACK - Set if the attack came from a hitscan weapon fired by a player.
• DMG_FOILINVUL - The attack ignores the INVULNERABLE flag if the victim has it set.
• DMG_FOILBUDDHA - The attack ignores the BUDDHA flag if the victim has it set.
• DMG_NO_PROTECT - The attack won't call ModifyDamage or AbsorbDamage on any of the victim's inventory items.
• DMG_NO_ENHANCE - The attack won't call ModifyDamage on any of the source's inventory items.
• DMG_USEANGLE - The attack will use the angle parameter when applying kickback instead of having ApplyKickback calculate the angle from the origin of the attack.
• DMG_EXPLOSION - The attack will be marked as splash damage from an explosion. This is set automatically if the damage came from an explosive projectile.

• double angle

The absolute angle for thrusting enemies from the damage if DMG_USEANGLE is set.

Examples

This version of the Zombieman will take no damage from projectiles:

class ZombiemanNoProjectiles : Zombieman
{
	override int DamageMobj (Actor inflictor, Actor source, int damage, Name mod, int flags, double angle)
	{
		if (inflictor && inflictor.bMISSILE)
		{
			return 0;
		}
		
		return super.DamageMobj(inflictor, source, damage, mod, flags, angle);
	}
}

Note, similar behavior can be achieved with the NONSHOOTABLE flag, but that will completely disable collision with projectiles, while this override disables damage.
