Lost souls blocked by items [96]
If you go to E2M8 on skill level 5, the lost souls will not be able to get to you if there is rocket ammo or a soulsphere in the way. Aren't these items normally pass throughable in general? This may be only with the lost souls, as I have not tried with other monsters.
Here is a demo JIC

The bug in question is isolated to charging monsters like the Lost Soul, Heretic's imp or the Minotaur.
What you describe is probably just a collision with something you did not expect.

He is correct, If it were possible, I'm fairly sure that an imp fireball or similar projectile would not be able to pass through. I find that strange, but inspection of the code of both Doom and ZDoom indicates that charging monsters MUST stop when encountering any object, and since Doom (original) objects were infinitely tall...well lets just say its easy to hit something when your that tall.

Yes. I tried it right now. The rockets fly over the ammo boxes.Graf Zahl wrote:TimrodDX wrote:It's not limited to the souls. I played the same map on Nightmare just now, and the cyberdemon's rockets can't penetrate the ammo boxes either.

There's another bug with lost soul charging. When you shoot at the lost soul in mid flight, it will slide back helplessly until it hits an obstacle or dies. It won't even enter its pain state when you shoot it. If you make a more powerful enemy with the charge attack (it's the only code pointer for charging attacks that we can use in decorate), then you can similarly stop it in mid flight and destroy it quite easily.
