If you want to add this to Doom's original puff you have to use DEHACKED. If it is for one of your own DECORATE puffs use A_PlaySound.

when i do this it only plays the sound when a 'thing' that was attacked has the NOBLOOD flag

This may be of use

However, I prefer to give the bullet puff a pain sound and then give one of the early frames a pain code pointer (all using dehacked). Using an early frame means you won't get a noise when punching a wall because the punch doesn't use the first couple of frames in the puff sequence. This method does, however, make the revenant rocket trail noisy too.

so....basiclly i put in the painsound instead of the seesound and the code should be....

States:
{
Spawn:
PUFF A 5 Bright
PUFF B 5 A_Pain
PUFF CD 5
Stop
}

right???

In DECORATE you don't even need the painsound. You can use A_PlaySound directly.

that didnt work unless you shot an actor that is invulnrable or has the +NOBLOOD flag set

Your puff also needs +PUFFONACTORS in that case.

Make the puff visible on actors.

i have found the way of making puffs make noises on impact...

ACTOR BulletPuff2 : BulletPuff
{
PainSound "misc/impact" //ignore
SeeSound "misc/impact" //ignore this too
DeathSound "misc/impact" //the source of this
+PUFFONACTORS
States
{
Spawn:
PUFF A 0
Goto Death
Death:
PUFF A 5 Bright A_Scream
PUFF BCD 5
Stop
}
}

for all you people who want impact sounds.....

That screams "UNECESSARY HACK"

Code: Select all

ACTOR BulletPuff2 : BulletPuff
{
+PUFFONACTORS
States
{
Spawn:
PUFF A 0
PUFF A 5 A_Playsound("misc/impact")
PUFF BCD 5
Stop
}
}
