[deader-man]

ill fix my post to try and figure out the code tags you say i noticed other people using them but cant figure out how. illl re-read that decorate thing too. still this is annoying my decorate LOOKS error free for fs sake!

[deader-man]

Code: Select all

actor mega shotgun : shotgun replaces shotgun 100
{
weapon.ammouse 1
weapon.ammogive 8
weapon.ammotype shell

states
{
select:
shot a 1 a_weaponraise
deselect:
shot a 1 a_weaponlower
ready:
shot a 1 a_weaponready
fire:
shot a 1
shot b 1 a_firebullets(30,30.100,20)
shot c 1
shot d 1
shot e 1
shot f 1
shot g 1
shot h 1
shot i 1 a_refirte
goto ready
}

here is my fixed post i also fixed a couple errors i found but it still wont run!! THIS IS STUPID

[Zhs2]

Well, you fixed most of your errors... but:

A_Refire, not A_Refirte
A_Lower, not A_WeaponLower
A_Raise, not A_WeaponRaise

Also, THIS is the stupidest DECORATE mistake I've every seen.

You forgot to close your states, so the gun will keep falling through it's states until it his "Fire," which is closed.

Replace

Code: Select all

select:
shot a 1 a_weaponraise
deselect:
shot a 1 a_weaponlower
ready:
shot a 1 a_weaponready

with

Code: Select all

select:
shot a 1 a_weaponraise
loop
deselect:
shot a 1 a_weaponlower
loop
ready:
shot a 1 a_weaponready
loop

Although you don't even need those states anyway, since they're already defined by the regular Shotgun. You can just make it only have a Fire state and it will work.

okay thanks for the help let me try fixing what you guys said

[deader-man]

WHAT THE HECK IT STILL WONT WORK OH MY GOD

Code: Select all

actor mega shotgun : shotgun replaces shotgun 100
{
weapon.ammouse 1
weapon.ammogive 8
weapon.ammotype shell

states
{
select:
shot a 1 a_raise
loop
deselect:
shot a 1 a_lower
loop
ready:
shot a 1 a_ready
loop
fire:
shot a 1
shot b 1 a_firebullets(30,30.100,20)
shot c 1
shot d 1
shot e 1
shot f 1
shot g 1
shot h 1
shot i 1 a_refire
goto ready
}
}

this is really beginning to PISS ME OFF WHY is zdoom being SO [censored word]

[Ceeb]

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOUR CODE IS [censored word].

Now then...

Code: Select all

(30,30.100,20)

Why is there a period in there? And you need to capitalize your sprite names/frame letters. SHOT A is correct, shot a is not.

[deader-man]

Code: Select all

shot g 1
shot h 1
shot i 1 a_refire
goto ready
}
}

ZDOOM SUCKS!!

[bagheadspidey]

Relax beavis. There's a space in your class name. Try replacing it with an underscore.

Also put quotes around "ready" near that last line.

Also chill out with the ZDOOM SUCKS stuff, we all like zdoom fine and most of us can handle a few lines of decorate so you're only making yourself look bad.

dude quit giving me bad advice YOU ASSHOLE I added an underscore and it did nothing

You pinhead, read what I told you. Make your sprite names and frame letters capital.

EDIT

And in Ready, you need to put A_WeaponReady.
