I'd add that in if I knew how to code it in Decorate.
In the guard definition you would make him use:
A_CheckProximity("WakeUpEveryone", "DeadGuyAlerter", 2048, 1, CPXF_CHECKSIGHT | CPXF_DEADONLY)
Every 35 tics. Now, you should change "DeadGuyAlerter" to the name of the enemy that's going to be dying near the guard, add a full list of them if necessary. 2048 is the range in units, so you can change that too if you want.

In the WakeUpEveryone state, the guard would use A_AlertMonsters, and perhaps have some animation like he's blowing a whistle and then wakes up every enemy in the general area.

Do note, that at minimum you would require ZDoom 2.8.1/GZDoom 2.1, Zandronum doesn't support A_CheckProximity yet.

I really don't post about my mod enough, so I thought I should post this:

Working on the first devlog video for my mod. Just split these clips, and gotta record two more clips I forgot to record before I can piece it together.
I'm wondering whether I should do just text, or if I maybe should put a voice-over on it.

Working on an ultra simple mod that addresses an annoyance I've had to deal with since Doom 2 was created. Try guess what is it about. ;)

Great effect (and much better than the default "you might see it, you might not" one), but it made me think: you're not actually burning at that point. It's just a visual and audible clue that an explosion is about to happen right on you. There's no burning at all - despite the flames - just magical illumination followed by BOOM!

It also usually obscures your vision in vanilla.

Ding ding ding!

For context, I play with "Classic transparency (vanilla preferred)" and everytime those damn things get in front of my screen, I just... well, I can't see the screen!

Even ZDoom's default "additive transparency" is barely any better; it is still this big-ass sprite that blocks my view.

So what this mod is doing is changing the indication from an in-world sprite blocking your view, to a HUD animation that only slightly blocks your view.

Is it multiplayer compatible? i.e. would other players still see some indication that you are about to get burninated?

Yes, other players will see the in-world sprite like as if nothing was modded. The fire overlay on the HUD only affects you, the poor soul about to be Arch-grilled. :lol:

(Technical detail: the visibility of the ArchvileFire actor is zero'd only for the consoleplayer. Works with the chase camera too, so if you flip to third person, the normal world sprite would reappear. Unfortunately doesn't work correctly for portals and mirrors (if you are standing in front of a mirror while in first person view and get fired, the fire sprite doesn't appear in the mirror)... oh well...)

EDIT:

She armature deform

Looks great for a speed-model, by the way.
