Wings of Wrath that expires in Hexen
I'm not at all experienced with using the likes of DECORATE or whatnot, though I imagine that's what it takes and am willing to learn how to use it. How does one make the wings of wrath powerup in Hexen last for a limited time like it does in Heretic?

As far as I can tell, there's no MAPINFO option that allows for turning off InfiniteFlightPowerup, so you're going to have to use ZScript and make a new Powerup class that inherits from PowerFlight and overrides its DoEffect function with a replacement that increments EffectTics regardless of the map's flags. Afterwards, you'd just need to make a replacement of ArtiFly ( the internal name for the Wings ) that both inherits from it and swaps out its Powerup.Type for your new Powerup class.
If you need some step-by-step guidance on how to do some basic ZScript stuff, well, someone other than me will do it a lot better.

Ah, ok; I'll look into ZScript then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
