EFFECT SPRITES

New SE effects

SPIRIT VORTEX = SE 60

HITAG IS THE TAG THAT CAUSES EFFECT TO SPAWN, IT NEEDS AN ACTIVATOR TO WORK

YVEL IS THE TAG THAT CAUSES EFFECT TO END

COLOR CHANGER = SE 61

HITAG IS THE TAG THAT TRIGGERS IT, BUT IT MUST BE TRIGGERED BY A WGR2 ACTOR (POWER PODS, A MONSTER, ETC)

THE SECTOR BECOMES THE PAL AND SHADE OF THE SE

OPTION: IF XVEL IS SET ON THE SE, IT BECOMES THE NEW PICNUM OF THE SECTOR AND WALLS

SPACE CUTSCENE MANAGER=SE62

THIS IS USED FOR CONTROLLING THE STAR SECTOR AT THE BEGINNING OF THE HUB LEVEL AND CAN’T BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE. FIRST IT GRABS PLAYER 0 AND MOVES HIM TO ITS OWN POSITION. THEN IT STARTS TRACK 18 (SILENT MIDI) AND MAKES ALL OF THE NORMAL SPRITES IN ITS SECTOR KEEP THEIR PALS (SO THEY DON’T TURN BLACK IN SPACE). IT ALSO SETS A GLOBAL VARIABLE THAT STARTS THE STAR SPAWNERS WORKING (SE 63). THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OTHER WAY TO START THE STAR SPAWNERS. THIS SE WAITS FOR A FRANKENSWITCH WITH LOTAG 5 TO BE PRESSED (TILE 141). WHEN THAT HAPPENS, IT MAKES THE STARS SPAWN HYPERSPACE LINES AND IT LOOKS FOR A NEARBY EVIL WARP AND ACTIVATES IT. THE EVIL WARP THEN COMES TOWARDS THE PLAYER, BLOWS UP ANY NORMAL SPRITES, AND ENDS THE CUTSCENE.

STAR SPAWNERS = SE 63

THESE SPAWN STARS THAT FLY OFF AT A SLIGHTLY RANDOMIZED ANGLE. THE STARS MOVE UNTIL THEY HIT SOMETHING. THE STARS ONLY SPAWN WHEN THE SE63 IS TRIGGERED BY A SE62. ONCE THE SWITCH IS HIT (SEE ABOVE), THE SE WILL ALSO SPAWN LIGHTNING, AND STARS AND LIGHTNING WILL ACCELERATE. THE SPAWNING STOPS WHEN THE PLAYER IS GRABBED BY THE EVILWARP.

SCROLL ACTIVATOR = SE 64

SET YVEL TO THE ACTIVATION NUMBER AND IT WILL ACTIVATE EVERYTHING OF THAT TAG WHEN THE PLAYER HAS COMPLETED THE EPISODE EQUAL TO HITAG. 1 = EP 1 COMPLETED, 2 = EP 2 COMPLETED, 4 = EP 3 COMPLETED (IT IS A BITFIELD).

LEVEL TELEPORTER = SE 69

THE PAL OF THE SE IS THE LEVEL NUMBER THE PLAYER WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO. THE MAP STATE IS SAVED BEFOREHAND, SO IF THE PLAYER RETURNS IT WILL BE AS HE LEFT IT.

FIREWORKS = SE 77

SHOOTS OFF A LARGE FIREWORKS MORTAR ABOUT ONCE EVERY 10 SECONDS. SET YVEL TO THE ACTIVATION NUM BER IF YOU WANT IT TO WAIT FOR ACTIVATION, OTHERWISE LEAVE YVEL AT 0 AND IT WILL START WHEN THE LEVEL STARTS.

BROADCASTER = SE 88

SHOWS A SCENE FROM A DIFFERENT PART OF THE MAP. THE SCENE IS “BROADCAST” IN THE BACKGROUND, AND IS VISIBLE WHEREVER THERE ARE BLANK TEXTURES (WALLS, FLOORS OR CEILINGS WITH BLANK TEXTURES) NEAR THE SE. PLACE TWO SE88 AND GIVE THEM THE SAME HITAG. ONE WILL BROADCAST THE POV OF THE OTHER.

OPTIONS: GIVE THE SE A YVEL, AND THAT WILL BE ITS ACTIVATION NUMBER, IN WHICH CASE IT WILL NOT BROADCAST UNTIL AN ACTIVATOR OR GAME EFFECT (SUCH AS MONSTER ACTIVATION) TURNS IT ON. MAKE SURE TO HIDE THE BLANK TEXTURES UNTIL THE ACTIVATION USING EITHER A TEXTURE CHANGER OR SOME OTHER TRICK.

BY DEFAULT, THE SE WILL BROADCAST FROM ITS OWN ANGLE, BUT IF YOU SET XVEL TO A NON-ZERO VALUE, IT WILL USE THE PLAYER’S ANGLE INSTEAD (NOT USUALLY A GOOD IDEA THOUGH).

BY DEFAULT, IT WILL USE THE PLAYER’S CURRENT Z ANGLE (LOOK UP/DOWN ANGLE). TO SET A FIXED Z ANGLE, SET EXTRA ON THE SE. 100 = STRAIGHT AHEAD. HIGHER VALUES LOOK UP, LOWER VALUES LOOK DOWN (IN POLYMOST, MAX 299, MIN -199).

TELEPORTER = SE 89

SIMILAR TO THE NORMAL TELEPORTER SE7, BUT WITH MORE OPTIONS. LIKE SE7, IT TAKES THE PLAYER TO ANOTHER SE OF THE SAME HITAG WHEN HE ENTERS ITS SECTOR (BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE DESTINATION).

OPTIONS: GIVE THE SE A YVEL, AND THAT WILL BE ITS ACTIVATION NUMBER, IN WHICH CASE IT WILL NOT TELEPORT UNTIL AN ACTIVATOR OR GAME EFFECT (SUCH AS MONSTER ACTIVATION) TURNS IT ON. NOTE THAT TWO SE89 WITH THE SAME HITAG COULD HAVE DIFFERENT ACTIVATION NUMBERS. THIS COULD BE USED TO MAKE A ONE WAY TELEPORTER. LEAVE YVEL AT 0 AND IT WILL START UNLOCKED.

SET XVEL TO THE SOUND NUMBER TO PLAY UPON TELEPORTATION (LEAVE 0 FOR NO SOUND).

CERTAIN PALS ON THE SE WILL CAUSE A COLORED FLASH WHEN THE PLAYER TELEPORTS: PAL 1=BLUE, PAL2=RED, PAL3=WHITE, PAL4=BLACK, PAL7=YELLOW, PAL8=GREEN. PALS NOT LISTED DO NOTHING.

Cutscene camera = SE 90

This SE can be used to change the player’s view to the view from the SE. It can be triggered by an event in the game, or it can occur when the level starts. Cutscene cameras can be either stationary or moving, and they can be chained together to show a sequence of views. The view can be displayed on the entire screen, or it can be displayed in a box in the corner. By default, the player is paralyzed while this effect is ongoing. Tags on the SE control different aspects of the effect:

Hitag: Set to 0 to switch to the SE view at level start. Otherwise, hitag is the activation number. The SE can be activated by an activator having a lotag equal to the SE’s hitag, or by a switch, monster, or other DP sprite which has a YVEL equal to the SE’s hitag. The player will view from the SE immediately upon activation.

Pal: 0 = stationary camera, 1 = moving camera. A moving camera will not work unless there is another SE 90 which has a hitag equal to the YVEL of the moving camera.

Shade: The up/down view angle. 0 looks straight ahead, negative numbers look up and positive numbers look down. The exact formula is camerahoriz = shade*2 +100

XVEL: In a stationary camera, this is the number of game tics that the camera’s view will last. In a moving camera, XVEL is the speed at which the camera travels. If not set, XVEL will default to 130 (five seconds of view time for a stationary camera, and about ½ of Duke’s running speed for a moving camera).

YVEL: This is the number that the camera activates upon completion. In a stationary camera, completion occurs when its time runs out. In a moving camera, completion occurs when it has traveled all the way to the next camera in the sequence. The camera will activate any respawns, activators, masterswitches, or DP sprites which have activation numbers equal to the camera’s YVEL. This includes other cutscene cameras. If the camera is stationary, it does not have to be set to activate anything. If it is a moving camera, it must be set to activate another SE 90 (see Pal, above).

ANG: The angle of the SE sprite will be the angle that the camera faces. If it is a moving camera, then it will start at this angle and gradually turn to face the angle that the next camera is facing.

EXTRA: This is a bitfield which determines some additional camera functions. Add together the numbers you want, or leave EXTRA at its default value (-1) if you don’t want any of the options.

1 does a quick fade to black right before the camera’s view time ends (does not work with moving cameras)

2 shows the view in a box in the lower right corner of the screen (the rest of the player’s view is normal)

4 if this bit is set, the player will be moved to the camera’s position.

8 allow the player to move (best used in combination with 2)

16 transition effect: when camera activates, its view starts in the center and quickly expands to fill the screen (do not use with 2)

WEIRD ELEVATOR TRANSPORTER = SE 166

THIS IS THE EFFECT USED IN THE TRANSITION BETWEEN NORMAL AND HELL IN LEVEL 2 OF WGR2

TRANSPORTS TO ANOTHER 166 SE HAVING THE SAME HITAG

EXTRA OF THE SE IS HOW LONG BEFORE THE TRANSPORT OCCURS

PLAYER IS STUCK ON THE TRANSPORTING SECTOR IF HE STEPS ON IT. MUSIC WILL CHANGE, WEATHER WILL STOP, THE SCREEN WILL ROTATE.

ANY MONSOULS WILL BE TELEPORTED TO THE PLAYER AND DROP GOLD. ANY 3846 CANDLE SPRITES WILL START TO MOVE UP.

SECTOR OF DEATH = SE 666

THE PLAYER OR ANY OTHER CREATURE WHO IS BELOW THE SE IN THE SECTOR WILL BE KILLED.

Candles and Torches (various tile numbers)

When using the Polymer renderer, they cast a flickering point light of the same color as the sprite.

LIGHTBUG 75

Glowing bugs that float around. When using the Polymer renderer, they cast a point light of the same color as the sprite.

FOGSPAWNER 179

Periodically spawns fog-like clouds that drift in the direction the sprite is facing. They disappear after a few seconds.

ICEWALL1 197

ICEWALL2 198

These are breakable sprites that can be placed as walls. They drip and form cracks as they take damage, until they eventually shatter (or melt, if hit by fire).

SPIKE1 206

SPIKE2 207

FULLSPIKE 208

If the sprites are flipped and placed above the ground (like stalagtites), they will randomly fall if in view of the player. They are more likely to fall if in close proximity to the player, and they will cause damage if they hit him. They can be destroyed with weapon fire.

PLANK1 256

PLANK2 257

PLANK3 258

PLANK4 259

These are planks of wood that can be used as obstacles. They can be destroyed by weapons or burned.

WATERDRIP 660 (used to create rain, just like in Duke Plus)

give a sector a hitag of 101 and the DP weather will not fall in that sector

RAINMAKER 3335 spawns rain in a radius of the same pal

SNOWMAKER 3337 same but for snow

FALLINGLEAF 1234 randomly spawns leaves that fall to the ground

WAYPOINT 2951

Place a trail of these sprites to define a path that will be used at the end of the level as a “victory lap”. The first waypoint in the trail must have a lotag of 1, the next a lotag of 2, etc. In addition to having the highest lotag, the last waypoint in the path must have a pal of 4. The waypoints must make a loop, so that there is a straight unobstructed path between each waypoint and the next in the sequence, including between the pal 4 waypoint and the lotag 1 waypoint.

MUSICSWITCH 2952

Causes music to switch to the specified track when the MUSICSWITCH is activated.

Set lotag to the activation number (it will be activated by an ACTIVATOR having that number, as triggered by a TOUCHPLATE or other means).

Set hitag to the number of the track that will be switched to upon activation.

Noise Sprite
Place a sprite of tile #2954 (the red "O") and give it a lotag of 1. Set the hitag to the number of the sound you want it to play when it is triggered by the player entering its sector. If you want there to be a delay before the sound is played, set EXTRA of the sprite to the number of ticks you want the sound to be delayed. You can place multiple noise sprites in the same sector with different delays. If you set XVEL to 1, the sound will be global rather than located at the sprite.

TEXTURIZER 2959

Changes one texture/tile to another everywhere in the map.

YVEL = activation number (it will be activated by an ACTIVATOR having that number, as triggered by a TOUCHPLATE or other means).

LOTAG = the texture to be changed

HITAG = the new texture it will be changed to

EXTRA: 1 = changes sprites only, 2 = changes textures only, 3 = changes both sprites and textures

WEAPONS 2962

Give it a lotag of 1, and it takes away all of the player’s weapons and items (except the chainsaw) and exchanges them for stashed gold when he enters the map. Once this happens the sprite is deleted, which means it will not happen a second time if the player leaves the map and then reenters it.

Power Pods are like batteries that can be used to activate something in a map. The pickup item for pods replaces steroids (tile 55).

INSERT POWER PODS INTO SOCKETS

TO POWER MAGICAL AND TECH DEVICES.

MOST DEVICES REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE.
POWPODPLACED 105
Unlike the pickup item (tile 55), the POWPODPLACED (tile 105) sprite determines where a Power Pod must be placed in the map. Make the sprite exactly how you want it to look in the map after a pod has been placed there. It can be wall aligned or not, but keep in mind it will be resized to 40 40 on map load. Give the POWPODPLACED a lotag or yvel (it doesn't matter which) for its activation number. Finally, give it a hitag. If you want to have a group of these that must be placed in order to activate something, then give all the sprites in the group the same hitag (give them all the same lotag as well). If two POWPODPLACED have the same hitag, then they are considered part of the same group, even if they are in different maps. So if you use hitags 1 and 2 in level 1, then use hitags 3 and 4 etc in the next map; do not reuse hitags. There is no upper limit to the number of POWPODPLACED that can be in a group.

MONSTERS AND OTHER CREATURES

All Monsters

xvel = tile to drop on death

yvel = tag to activate on death

pal 17 = statue (set lotag of monster to the activator tag that wakes it)

zvel = group number (see below)

Groups: If a monster is part of a group, then it will not activate its yvel tag when it dies, unless all of the other monsters of the same group are already dead. These means you can create a situation where the player has to kill an entire group of monsters in order to activate something. The tag that gets activated is the one belonging to the last monster that dies (normally you would give the same yvel to every monster in the group, but this isn't strictly necessary). Group number are global. That means that there can only be one group of that number in the entire episode. If you use zvel 1 on a group of monsters in level 1, then you must not use group 1 in level 2, etc.
