Mindless ramblings of an idiot, I presume.

Or it's one of those "You need to get laid written in leet" messages.

Is it just me or does A_KillChildren do nothing? If it's just me, can I get an example usage?

It's used in junction with A_SpawnItem if I'm not mistaken...

I used A_SpawnItem to spawn the things, then when the projectile died I called A_KillChildren. But the things spawned did not die.

You have to have the childclass and parentclass bits set up, I would imagine.

What bits?

They're flags or something aren't they? Like renderstyle and stuff, or am I talking out of my arse?

There was no mentioning of that in the Wiki entry where I found the Codepointer. And I need it to finish my contribution to The Stranger.

There is ParentClass (or was it ChildClass...), but it is undocumented.

There is not.

Graf, do you know what my problem is? As I said I used SpawnItem to create the projectiles (do they have to be monsters in order for it to work?) and nothing.

Ok, I'm wrong then, but the wiki does chuck up a reference when you search for one of them.

If you refer to killing, the object to be killed has to be shootable. Otherwise any attempt to damage it won't do anything at all. Projectiles also can't kill their owner because the needed information is never passed to them.

Can Projectiles kill their children? If not I'll make the spawned projectile a friendly monster instead and use A_PainAttack.

EDIT: Uh, Can A_PainAttack be used from a player?
