Discs of Repulsion don't work on the Wraithverge spirits

Post by Blue Shadow »

According to the Doom Wiki, the Discs of Repulsion could be used on the spirits fired by the Wraithverge to make them "yours" if deflected so they seek enemies instead of you. However, in ZDoom, they don't. I tried the discs on the projectile itself and on the spirits spawned by it. The spirits still came after me.

This happens with r3620 and presumeably all the way to the latest build (r3674). (I only tested it with these two builds)

To save me trouble, did you also try it with Hexen.exe in DOSBox? The wiki has been wrong before, so I don't want to change anything without confirming that this is really how Hexen is supposed to work.

Confirmed. You can kill Traductus in MAP38 in vanilla Hexen by using the disc to reflect his wraiths back at him. This doesn't work in ZDoom anymore. (I tried r3693, and couldn't get them to reflect to matter how many discs I spammed)

This was still working in 2.3.1 (r1480) but broken in GZDoom 1.3.06, based on revision 1934. I currently don't have any of the other 1.3.x GZDoom builds here but I'm trying to narrow it down further. I got a problem though. When I compile these ZDoom revisions the engine crashes.

I was able to narrow it down to 1868-1889. The most likely culprit is the A_Blast patch that got added in r1886. None of the other revisions change anything significant about the blasting.

now that there's no usage of that constant, why didn't you remove/comment the definition? (src/g_hexen/a_clericonly.cpp line 15)
