(SOLVED) LOS-base actor not executing special on "Death"

[Doominer441]

I'm making a series of actors for my levels. The basic feature of them is they stand in place and vanish if you look at them. I want things to happen when they do. I assumed that by making A_JumpIfInTargetLOS go to a "Death" state, it would execute any special I assign to the actors as if they were monsters I killed, however this doesn't appear to be the case.

Code: Select all

Actor CreepyGhost1 900
{
	+ISMONSTER
	+LOOKALLAROUND
	RENDERSTYLE TRANSLUCENT
	ALPHA 0.50
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		GHST A 0 A_JumpIfInTargetLOS("Death", 100, 0, 400)
		GHST A 5 A_Look
		Loop
	Death:
		TNT1 A -1 A_NoBlocking
		Stop
	}
}

It certainly vanishes if I look directly at it, but by trying to assign it a variety of specials, none of them execute when it dies. What am I doing wrong?

The specials might not execute because you aren't actually killing the ghost by jumping to the Death state.
Instead of jumping to the Death state, jump to another state that uses A_Die to kill your ghost. (You will also have to give it a flag such as +SHOOTABLE to make it killable)
For example:

Code: Select all

Actor CreepyGhost1 900
{
	+ISMONSTER
	+LOOKALLAROUND
	RENDERSTYLE TRANSLUCENT
	ALPHA 0.50
	+SHOOTABLE
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		GHST A 0 A_JumpIfInTargetLOS("Die", 100, 0, 400)
		GHST A 5 A_Look
		Loop
	Die:
		TNT1 A 0 A_Die
	Death:
		TNT1 A -1 A_NoBlocking
		Stop
	}
}

Thank you, that works perfectly.
