DECORATE Practice - Yippee! An error!

Post by Athel »

So, I'm doing a practice project for myself that makes projectiles, weapons and enemies. I borrowed sprites for practice only. I only was able to get the projectiles and weapons, but my enemy doesn't work. It crashes GZDoom. Now, I'm assuming that you peeps know about Decorate (DoomWorld seems to be a Boom-Vanilla forum) so I'm hoping you can help me. Please? :D :D

Download my practice error or DIE don't!

I know its a bit unorganized, but hey. Practice. :roll:

EDIT: oops, Idont think this should've been in Projects. I meant to place in EDITING. Sorry.

You're trying to use a [wiki=Action functions]code pointer[/wiki] that's only native to actors inheriting from the [wiki=Classes:Inventory]Inventory[/wiki] actor class. [wiki]A_FireCustomMissile[/wiki] is typically used with weapons. For non-inventory-based actors, like monsters, you want to use [wiki]A_CustomMissile[/wiki].

Um, do I have to resize the sprites in my image editor? He's too small!

I have another issue. I put in FiremanBuster but the weapon sprites don't go to the bottom right, they show up in the top left. How do I fix this?

You have to set Sprite offsets.

Or you can open the directory using SLADE3's "open directory" function.

Unless you use a PK3/zip. Then you have "open" function. :P

Uh, as I said, SLADE supports PK3s... There's "open file" function for that :v

I dunno. You may try using Wine or something. I don't really know anything about Linux.
