maybe with finite state machine logic, but i doubt it. this engine ain't really made for anything but "shoot stuff, collect keys, open doors, shoot more stuff." that's all you really need, but of course more would be better. as it stands, it's really about creative use of modifiers and simple 3d models to make maps look interesting, less flat, but everything is pretty static. this isn't the answer you were looking for but.... you could try learning another program? i'm still using EFPSE myself, but i am part-time working on getting a similar 2.5d doom-like setup in Coppercube. If I can ever get that into a working state, I will release the coppercube project ccb file for others to use.

and of course you can pray to whatever gods or devils you believe in that JessicoChan stays safe, and that one day they will be able to resume dev on this promising tool. even if it never progresses further, let's still hope that they and their family is safe.

I have all the versions of the same type of editor that I can find on the internet. (rgm, rgm+, etc.)

In short, I'm a fan of EFPS, otherwise I wouldn't have bought the program in support of its creator! :)

Of course I understand what you're saying, but I think this editor has outgrown making classic Doom type games. A few extra things wouldn't spoil the editor, like what I wrote, or if it had the possibility to climb ladders or to lift!

I will be curious to see where EFPS develops in the near future, if all goes well. For some reason I'm sticking with the program, although it's a fact that there are much better ones, but it's as simple as 1*1 :D

As for religion, I have my own opinion, just so you understand me : ( I am not an atheist, I believe in God! I'm a Catholic, but I don't practice religion fanatically because I have my doubts, but I have to believe in something.

There are so many horrible things in the world, and to watch God suffer innocent people, that's why I have doubts, because I don't understand why he is not doing anything!)

Coming back, I hope all is well with the developer and his family, I wish them all the best.

We have controversial news in Hungary, lots of fake news, but some of it is real news.

At the moment it is said that Russia is not recruiting soldiers, especially young ones, but we can see from the videos on the internet that it is ... Anyway, all the truth will come out one day.

Hang in there every one!

EFPSE is certainly the easiest tool to use to make retro fps games. and i agree with the desire to expand on the possibilities of the engine. but it's a one-person operation, and JessicoChan has their own view on what to include and not to include. we will just see how it develops, and work with whatever features are made available. as of now it is about halfway between wolfenstein3d and doom.

i agree that i am a fan of EFPSE, and will continue to use it. i just will also continue to dabble in other engines as well.

Of course, it will be up to JessicoChan to decide how he wants to develop EFPS in the future.

But, first now is the security and the hope that everything will be fine with him!

And that he will soon be able to improve the program, somewhat tailored to our needs. :)

P.S. Sorry if my English is sometimes misunderstood and not precise enough, I use a translator.
