Description:
Some kinds of "common" objects (explosive barrels, candlesticks and standard ammo) thrown at the player by a malicious ghost. You can't kill the ghost, but you can destroy an object before it's launched towards you!

Download link?

That's weird, I was sure I had put it as attachment. I'll put it on dropbox.

I have the same problem if I plan to add zip files on threads. If I want to have a somewhat downloadable file, I need to add them inside my dropbox and copy-paste the link somewhere. What's going on?

PS: I speak of files no larger than 256kb

I put it on dropbox, download link in the first message.

Creepy but I like it! Very useful for "supernatural" setups.

A couple of bugs I found, though, through my quick test:

• When you get killed by the barrel, the player is credited for the kill, not the ghost.
• The ghost messes up the monster kill count when it removes itself from the game after the object is thrown at the player.

Thanks for the feedback I fixed the monster count bug.
The obityary only works if the player is near the barrel, but it just gives "player is dead" if it's far from it, I don't know how to fix that
However, the download link of the fixed version is in the first post.

Well, the changes you did to fix the monster count bug also fixed the kill crediting one.

For non-image files, the size limit appears to be 120 KB. For images, it is 150 KB.

I just tried this, I couldn't help but laugh at first, it was interesting to see. This is really good though, I defintely want to use this in my mod.

@Blue Shadow: oh, good :grin:

@Salahmander: thanks
