Hello.

I would like to request an action special from Zdoom called "Thing_Hate". When activated, this action causes a monster to hate and attack another actor on the map.

It's actually quite natural behaviour. At the moment, this behaviour is triggered when a monster injures another monster by accident. The injured monster starts hating the monster that injured him and start attacking him. This will cause the same effect on the monster that injured the injured monster by accident, and there we have it, monsters infight! It's a trick often used on MAP20 of Doom2, where you can have the Spider Mastermind and Cyberdemon fight each other. It's also used on MAP08 of Doom2, in the room with all the Barons of Hell and the Cyberdemon.

So, in short, what this action does is that it causes similar behaviour, without a reason. This action allows you to think of your own reasons for monster(s) to hate (an)other monster(s).

I'm willing to build a small testing map if this action is being considered to be added to Zdaemon. Thanks for listening, and let me know what you think.

Quoting from now obsolete bug report:
EarthQuake wrote:
The ACS special Thing_Hate currently works, but does not handle hate types other than zero, which does not make it very useful. This special was implemented as a feature request by Ronald but it seems it was either partially implemented, or something didn't get quite right (or perhaps the netcode wasn't ready for it yet).

A quick rundown of the hate types can be found in the link above.

Tested with 1.09b23. If you need a test map, please let me know.


not quite finished yet it seems.
moved back to "To be Implemented Requests".

Yes, me and Krawa found out the other day when I was trying to make "intelligent Bots", but I didn't have the chance to report it properly yet, so thank you for doing so Earthquake. Earthquake is right about the fact that not any of the hate types work other 0. Additionally it might be interesting to know that the other hate types do not work in single player mode as well as in client/server mode.

Me and Krawa tested this function using this wad.

This is a pretty neat ACS special, and it looks like it's already implemented in the current ZDoom engine...ah, backporting. Very Happy This is a function I'd like to see fully implemented in ZDaemon (instead of just being a dummy function.)

Made a small test wad myself testing various things:

http://speedy.sh/M62zV/balls.wad

Imp should come out of the left room on it's own, open the door to the right room, ignoring the player, and attack (possibly kill) the demon in the right room. Currently, does not even alert the imp. I'm using a hate type of 6 (immediately pursue target, and ignore players entirely).

The function is not implemented properly yet. So there is no use in testing your map with the current Zdaemon 1.09 version we have. You can test your map with Zdoom to see if you implemented this function properly in your map.

I hope this gets implemented fully soon, because I agree, this is an interesting function which opens up a lot of possibilities. Smile
