I haven't making decorate for some GOOD time. I just dowloaded slade again and it looks different, more organized. Anyways i tried to use A_CustomMissile, but the monster doens't turn at me like it used to do. So i checked to see if i did anything wrong, and APPARENTLY they are now using A_SpawnProjectile instead of custom missile. The problem IS because "A_SpawnProjectile" Doens't have the color orange on Slade which means it's not a function. Can someone explains me WHY they changed it, why on MY slade it's ins't showing orange, and why A_CustomMissile is not making my monster turns at me. Thank you!

No. the attack i made is a continous ray. Here is the script for it:
Code: Select all
SoulBeamAttack:
ZUNM EFEFEFEFEFEFEF 3 A_FaceTarget
ZUNM E 6 A_PlaySound("grunt/sight")
TNT1 A 0 A_Playsound("zombie/beamattack")
ZUNM F 1 A_FaceTarget
ZUNM FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 2 A_CustomMissile("SoulBeam", 32, -7)
ZUNM A 15 A_FaceTarget

That's not true at all. SLADE's list of functions is nowhere near extensive and it's missing a lot of them from the syntax highlighting. You can still use the function, you just won't get a handy list of arguments.

Ohhhh... I get it now. Also just fixed the bug, i have to put "A_FaceTarget" TO ALL the frames. That add ALOT of lines. But i do remember that A_CustoMissile ALready made the monster face it target. Or i'm just crazy.

Something else sounds wrong here. It should still stay facing the target until the state completes correct?

I just remember A_CustomMissile would shoot at the target, but I don't remember if it made the actor face the target too.

Why should it? Its name is A_CustomMissile, not A_CustomMissileAndFaceTarget.

So i guess it faced the target because i put the "A_FaceTarget" One line before. But in this continous lines, i have to put "A_FaceTarget" for all of them.

So?
In ZScript you can just define your own function for such a combined action - there's no need to add it on the engine side.

You don't even need to use ZScript, thanks to the magic and wonder of Anonymous Functions.
Code: Select all
SoulBeamAttack:
ZUNM EFEFEFEFEFEFEF 3 A_FaceTarget
ZUNM E 6 A_PlaySound("grunt/sight")
TNT1 A 0 A_Playsound("zombie/beamattack")
ZUNM F 1 A_FaceTarget
ZUNM FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF 2 { A_FaceTarget(); A_CustomMissile("SoulBeam", 32, -7); }
ZUNM A 15 A_FaceTarget

Ohhhh... Didn't know about that! Thanks!
EDIT: No Wait! Hold on, i tried using the {A_FaceTarget} But now it's giving me an error!
EDIT 2: I thought that it was that i'm using a unpdated version. And i was kinda right. Except that now GZDOOM Doens't open! It just keep on that "Not Respoding" Error! Any help?
EDIT 3: (Woah that's alot of edits) Nope. Tried to play my mod now with this version. Still getting the same error.

Impossible to see what went wrong without seeing the entire project.

You need and must must use semicolon ";" after last symbol of function inside anonimous function, regardless what it, letter of the name or bracket which close line of argument function.

He has a semicolon. The real problem is, it's in DECORATE which doesn't know how to handle () properly.
In ZScript you use this
In DECORATE however, you must use this:
