Well that sucks. Yo Fortune Teller, think you can take a look at it? If you're meaning to use this flag for laser sights, then the ceiling bouncing effect is totally undesirable.

Welcome to Doom's weird physics. That effect is completely unrelated to this flag

It just got fixed, though it seems there's still some "erratic bouncing" when spawning on the ceiling. I'd wager that's more to do with the fact that puffs on the ceiling "jump" down a bit after their initial spawn, which has been the case for ages (hence an unrelated issue).

Hate to bump a closed feature request, just wanting ot make sure it's sorted out because yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

I wonder how that could happen. I applied the patch with TortoiseSVN against a freshly checked out version of ZDoom and got no error reports.

Some of the changes are missing in the source code update. You can look at the changelog and see that some of the lines from the patch are missing.

Right. Had some spare time today so I threw this together real quick. Feature isn't working.

I confirm; it doesn't work.

Here, run this.

I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I don't have time to isolate the relevant code to demonstrate my trouble with getting it work right now so... can anyone post a simple demo that shows that this works?

I am calling A_FireBullets from an inventory item that the player auto-uses every tic (called by a looping ACS script and UseInventory()).

Code: Select all

Actor Z_SunScanner : ArtiEgg
{    
    +INVENTORY.QUIET
    +INVENTORY.UNDROPPABLE
    +INVENTORY.HUBPOWER
    +INVENTORY.PERSISTENTPOWER
    -INVENTORY.INVBAR
    -INVENTORY.PICKUPFLASH
    Inventory.Amount 1
    Inventory.MaxAmount 1
    States
    {
        Use:
            TNT1 A 0 A_FireBullets(ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("Script_SunScannerHorizontal") - angle + 180,
                                    ACS_NamedExecuteWithResult("Script_SunScannerVertical"),
                                    2,
                                    0,
                                    "Z_SunScannerPuff",
                                    FBF_NORANDOM | FBF_EXPLICITANGLE | FBF_NOFLASH | FBF_NOPITCH | FBF_NORANDOMPUFFZ, 0)
            Stop
    }
}
The puff object "Z_SunScannerPuff" is still randomly jumping up and down upon collision with anything in the world.

Puffs can be allocated in [wiki]A_RailAttack[/wiki] but by default they don't normally appear. You use them to give the rail damage types in a similar way to how puffs do this for other hitscan attacks. You can opt to have them appear though. Quite how they behave when they do appear, I don't know.

added in r4170.

You are right about melee attacks. I've updated the patch and thread title.

I'm not really sure about the current situation with rail attacks, so I'll hold off on that for now.

Do rail functions have this problem too? Are they not hitscans that use puffs too? This should be considered for them as well if so

Edit - Also Player melee attacks are hitscans that use puffs, same thing too?

Yes, I see now. For some reason I posted the question and then went to find out myself. Thanks, though.

Well one is for weapons, while the other is used for monsters.
