Useractor
Similar to actor. This defines a new actor in a slightly more specific manner, and it does so without restraining the amount of defined actors. Version 1.3D only allowed so many actors so to add a new one required replacing another. Version 1.5 remedied this with useractor.
useractor <actortype> <name> <strength> <action> <move> <ai> { actor code } enda
<actortype> can either be "enemy," "enemystayput," or "notenemy."
- The "enemy" type makes an actor that is intended to be used as a character who commences actions on player sight.
- The "enemystayput" works the same as "enemy," except that the actor will not leave the sector it is placed in.
- The "notenemy" type is primarily intended to make an actor that is a decoration or otherwise not a threat to the player. This type of actor will have no shadow by default, and it will not be targeted if autoaim is enabled; you may wish to use this to code an enemy with these inate properties.
<name> is the name/tile of the actor. You can either input a defined name, or the tile number directly.
<strength> is the health of the actor.
<action> is the intial action an actor uses (optional).
<move> is the initial move of the actor (optional).
<ai> is the actor's initial ai routine (optional).
{ actor code } is obviously the code for the actor.
enda ends an actor.
