For what I get from the code, this just prints a message without using ACS, but if you want it to print more messages, you'll need to make more derivative actors, since items can't use args to jump states to print different messages. Warning: Spoiler! Code: Pickup: IGTM A 0 A_Playsound ("tipi/Tip_I") IGTM A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 1,"String1") IGTM A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 2,"String2") IGTM A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 3,"String3") IGTM A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 4,"String4") IGTM A 0 A_JumpIf(Args[0] == 5,"String5") TNT1 A 1 Stop String1: TNT1 A 1 A_Print("Jump over these platforms to get to the other side.",3) Stop String2: TNT1 A 1 A_Print("Crouch under these obstacles.",3) Stop String3: TNT1 A 1 A_Print("Now combine jumping and crouching.",3) Stop String4: TNT1 A 1 A_Print("Aim up or down to swim.",3) Stop String5: TNT1 A 1 A_Print("To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies.",3) Stop*/ } } Doing this would be the ideal way, but it doesn't work. And if you rely on ACS, which this item was made to avoid using, then it would serve no purpose since any item could execute a script.

You're missing the point I'm afraid. I made this with intention to attract novice and amateur map creators to bypass advanced coding since a lot of ACS can be quite confronting and confusing. Some of us like yourself are proficient with coding in ACS/ZSCRIPT and Decorate, just a friendly reminder that the majority of new content comes from beginners looking for some fresh resources. I'll have a look at auto-situational help tips but just keep what I said in mind. Cheers.

I think using ACS would be much easier than using an actor to print a message, especially when you can't customize it. Sorry, but I don't see this getting much use.
