[1.0.04] Missing HeXen weapon action functions

MartinHowe · Post by **MartinHowe** » Wed May 03, 2006 17:06

I am recreating a variant of the Cleric Mace weapon from scratch and want it to work in full, including the "thud" if it hits a wall. However, DECORATE does not expose the A_CMaceAttack codepointer. Is this a bug, an unimplemented (yet) feature, or a "WTF would anybody want to do that"

?

You can do this by using a special puff, making its DeathSound the "thud" sound, and then putting A_Scream on one of the frames.

The Hexen weapon functions are too specialized and have side effects. That's why they are not accessible.

I kinda wondered if it was something like that.

Thanks WW.

Despite the above, it should surely be possible to recreate the weapons at least to a good approximation? However, this isn't the place for it; please refer to this thread; I could do with a bit more help on this.
