[not needed] A_JumpIfFarther

[Zeg-Vok]

A_JumpIfFarther (int distance, int offset)

Something that seems like it could be easily implimented, and could be rather useful, ie and monster is firing off grenade rounds with SpidRefire or something like that, and when the target gets too far away, it will keep firing grenade rounds untill he either hits his pain state, loses its los, or dies.

Why don't you use A_JumpIfCloser?

[Zeg-Vok]

Well, say I had the Monster shooting grenade salvos at the player with a refire, and the player gets out of range of the grenade salvos, the monster wont stop shooting the grenade salovs unless he dies, loses the LOS, or hits his pain state. Wereas I could use A_JumpIfFarther to just simply call off the grenade salvos, and bring the monster back up to the see state, were I would use JumpIfClosers to decide which attack it would use next.

[Graf Zahl]

Since it is the exact opposite and it doesn't matter what you are doing in which branch I don't see your problem.

Code: Select all

FRAM A 0 A_JumpIfCloser(256, 1)
goto see
//continue with attack

No need for jumpiffarther when you can just use the jumpifcloser logic in reverse, as Graf already pointed out.

I think you need a jump offset of at least 2. Unless somethings changed in DECORATE...

Jumping only once to skip a goto has always worked for me for years now.

You think wrong.

anyway, case closed.
