Im new about decorating monsters.
I know now, how to make one monster actor, but im ready
for the next challenge which is:
I have 3 monster actors, one that is equipted with shielding (it looks that way).
Second with a lot of armor around his body...
Third with only his health left.
Those i like to combinate so it looks like a pain-in-the-ass end boss (one of them)
So far i scripted them into Decorate lump, but when actor one is down (with the shielding) it refuses to
switch (a_spawnitem("nameofactor",0,1,0,1)) over to the
next actor... and so on.
You understand it must look like D'Sparil of Heretic game, which is only a '2 monster actor', one that
sits on a serpent, and the other is the walking one.
(there is no D'Sparil script on the net anyway to study it.)
So far, 'A_SpawItem' didn't work in the 'Death:' sequence while a test wad of a MonsterSpawner-gun on the net DID work.
I have played alot with the numbers at the end of A_SpawnItem command but it still refuses to
spawn the next monster actor. No typing errors.
What or where do i do wrong?
Can anybody help me with this issue? Help will be very appriciated.

One note on your actors' death sequences. You don't need to define an XDeath state if you don't need the monster to have one. I just noticed that the XDeath states (at least for the first two actors) are identical to the Death states.
Although you're mostly a first-timer or such for ZDoom, I really think this could be possibly done with more advanced decorate and some ACS, but, it's all up to you anyway.

What more is possible??
So far i played with guns possibilitys, like today, i gave this monster a spreadfire.
I mannaged to make a monster up-side-down.
I don't mind the colors/oldschoolness, it just needs to be reorganized a bit. For example, you may want to put the list of weapons in WadMix so far on a seperate page, and same for the monsters on the left. It makes things a lot less cluttered.

Yeah, maybe your right.... and all the others are right too.
I haven't learned webdesign, nor english, nor wad design, nor whatever
For someone like me, its pretty something.
However, about the page, i will change, because it IS very busy.
Thanx for the advise
