i think I'm gonna scrap the project for now.

So I looked, and the attacks are missing. I tried looking through the mod's files (I left a download link at the top of the thread) and O found explosion sprites for when it's dead, but I didn't find it's rockwall sprites, missile sprites, or fire sprites.`

You are using .pk3's structure in SNDINFO, while you are using a .wad file.
Instead of specifying a path of non-existent directories, simply write the file name:
Spoiler:
Also, I notice that the SNDINFO defines sounds that aren't even in the wad.

Ok so now it appears in my map, but I'm missing the missle sprites, fire sprites,and it doesn't make any noise, even though i put the SNDIFO lump. Here's the new version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pHyWmY ... sp=sharing

And I looked at the sprites the attacks aren't missing.

So all I need is to make 2 markers and the SNDINFO lump?

The problem here is that the sprites aren't being detected as sprites, because they aren't between S_ markers.

You need to add a new "file" named S_START above the CYBIA1 sprite and S_END below the LDFXD0 sprite.

The monster is also missing sprites for it's attacks and SNDINFO definitions of the sounds.

The sprites didn't appear in Doom Builder, and I added the BFGStunLightning actor (line 907). I think i need the BFG Stun sprites.

I uploaded it to Google Drive so you can take a look at it.

Hmmm.... Mind showing the code here?
I can only guess so much without it.

I gave the editor number 15001 and there were no errors in the console. Strange since I got all the sprites in the mod...

Re: Tried extracting a monster from a mod, and...

Is the editor number for the actor and the placed thing the same?
Any errors logging into the console?

So I found the definition for BFGStunLightning, put it in the code, but the monster doesn't show up. Instead, the classic red square with a yellow exclamation mark.

By that I meant to write properties and/or states there. You can even leave it simply empty as {} if you want.
However, those two actors inheriting from BFGStunLightning may not work correctly without the original definition, which is probably somewhere in that mod in a different DECORATE file.

So first I create the BFGStunLightning actor above the ArgentAccuLightning and then what do you mean by "do stuff here?" Do I write what actors to define it to? And if so, how would I write it?
