1. First, a gun fires bullets with custom puff:
Weapons.dec:

Code: Select all

SHTF A 2 Bright A_FireBullets(3.8,2.4,7,Random(5,7),"ModdedBulletPuff")

2. Then the puff spawns two actors that check for floor and ceiling (DetectFloorPuff, DetectCeilingPuff).
SFX.dec:

Code: Select all

...
ACTOR ModdedBulletPuff replaces BulletPuff
{
Radius 0
Height 0
Scale 0.75
RenderStyle Translucent
Alpha 0.5
+NOBLOCKMAP
+NOGRAVITY
+ALLOWPARTICLES
States
{
Spawn:
	TNT1 A 0
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("DetectFloorPuff",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_NOCHECKPOSITION|SXF_CLIENTSIDE)
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("DetectCeilingPuff",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_NOCHECKPOSITION|SXF_CLIENTSIDE)
...

3. Then DetectFloorPuff checks floor, and if it is on floor, spawns an actor that looks like a decal (FloorPuffDecal).
DetectCeilingPuff does the same thing, but for ceiling.

Code: Select all

ACTOR DetectFloorPuff
{
Radius 1
Height 4
+MISSILE
+NOTELEPORT
+NOBLOCKMAP
+THRUACTORS
+MOVEWITHSECTOR
+NODAMAGETHRUST
-DONTSPLASH
States
{
Spawn:
	TNT1 A 4
	Stop
Death:
	TNT1 A 0 A_CheckFloor("FloorPuff")
	Stop
FloorPuff:
	TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("FloorPuffDecal",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_NOCHECKPOSITION|SXF_CLIENTSIDE)
	Stop
	}
}

What weapon?

Edit: also, Complex Doom doesn't allow reusing its code. So we can take the idea, but not the code.
