|
|
Hello,
Yet another request from me, and it's about the monster counter in cooperative/survival mode. At the moment, the scoreboard shows how many monsters are initially there in the map. I really liked that when that got introduced, but I would like to see it take a step further. I would like it to update itself when monsters are revived by Archviles or when monsters are spawned. It's not something major, but I think it would be a nice addition. |

It could be linked to the automap monster counter, which does the same thing in ZD. (but not ZDoom) |

Alternatively, you might show the number of monsters remaining instead, which would go up when monsters are spawned or revived, as well as going down when monsters are killed. |

This indeed would be a good addition, if only for survival. Many survival maps require that all monsters be dead before progressing to the next. Having a built-in display would make this easier for wad authors so they don't have to implement their own in-game counters. |

The total monster count will be updated as monsters respawn / get resurrected / spawn from ACS. That's the best way. |
