I have a problem with my sandstorm. I want it to spawn the "SandStorm" Actor in a random Offset X/Y between 0 and 256, and a random height between 0 and 256. But it doesn't seem to spawn them in the correct X/Y Offset, so it only spawns them in a random Z position.

This is how they're spawned:

And here is the "Sandstorm Generator" and the "SandStorm-Projectile" Code:

Code: Select all

Actor SandStorm 10080 //Sandstorm Generator
{
 +NoGravity
 Height 1
 Radius 1
 States
 {
  Spawn:
   TNT1 A 1 A_CustomMissile("SandStorm_A", Random(0, 256), Random(-128, 128), 0, 2, 0)
   Loop
 }
}

Actor SandStorm_A //Projectile
{
 +NoGravity
 +Missile
 +NoTeleport
 Radius 2
 Height 2
 Alpha 1
 Scale 2.0
 States
 {
  Spawn:
   TNT1 A 0
   TNT1 A 0 ThrustThing(0, Random(2, 12), 0, 0)
   SAND Z 3 A_SetTranslucent(0.97, 1)
   SAND Y 3 A_SetTranslucent(0.94, 1)

Nice shot dude, NICE shot!

Try this:
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 1 A_CustomMissile("SandStorm_A", 0 + Random (0, 256), 0 + Random(-128, 128), 0, 2, 0)
Loop
}

Grrrrr, still no luck. *Mutates to HULK, grabs his PC and throws it out of the window and jumps on it with a bodyslam*

Hmmm...
I'm not sure but, i think A_CustomMissile is for MONSTERS only! I donno well.

I tried making it a monster, but my problem is actually that it only spawns the Sandstorm Projectile vertically, not horizontally.

[Edit] AHHHH! I've got it working now. I looked up for A_CustomMissile in the Wiki, but A_CustomMissile seems to ignore Offset_XY for me, so I tried using A_SpawnItem, but this hasn't got so much functions, and THEN I found A_SpawnItemEx, and now it FINALLY works

Now I can get a new computer!
