Is there any way to spawn less bullet holes when shooting weapon?

and also, is there any way to spawn 3d bulletholes like this?:

Yes. You can set cl_maxdecals to however many or few decals you want at one time.

and also, is there any way to spawn 3d bulletholes like this?:

No. That's parallax/depth mapping and it's not supported by GZDoom.

What I want to achieve is that when firing a gun the bullet holes appear sometimes and other times no, does the cl_maxdecals line can help me to do this? i must use decorate or acs to apply that line?

What are the circumstances under which you want them to appear or not appear?

How much is this going to be replacing? (are you doing a whole new weapon, or trying to see if this can be done without resorting to a new weapon?)

For example when shooting at the walls the bulletholes sometimes appear and sometimes not. This will happen in the following way: the gun fires at the wall and the bullet hole appears, the gun fires again at the wall, but this time the bullet hole does not appear. Is this possible to do?

Best to just replace the puff and randomly call [wiki]A_SprayDecal[/wiki] directly from it.

(make sure you set the angle first)

The line "A_SprayDecal" can be used in decorate? in the line of "fire:" right? I am a beginner

[Matt]

Yes. Just like any other DECORATE function. I would suggest a range of at least 8 to make sure the decal gets sprayed (or you could even try "randompick(8,0)" for the length as a way of randomizing it)

And to make it face the right way it should call A_FaceTarget then change its angle to its current angle plus 180.
