Quake 1 Style Lightning Trails

[TheSeventh]

So I'm trying to emulate the lightning trails like from Quake 1's lightning gun but I've ran into an odd issue.

It seems like every 8 actors the pitch is not being set properly as per the A_FaceTarget.

And I only noticed this because I was looking closely in the test map


The zscript code looks like this:

Code: Select all

class ZapShot : FastProjectile replaces PlasmaBall
{
	Default
	{
		Radius 4;
		Height 8;
		Speed 360;
		Damage 0;
		+FLATSPRITE
		+CANNOTPUSH
		+NODAMAGETHRUST
		-SKYEXPLODE
		MissileType "ZapTrail";
		MissileHeight 0;
	}
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		TNT1 A 4;
		Loop;
	Death:
		TNT1 A 1;
		Stop;
	}
}

class ZapTrail : Actor
{
	Default
	{
		+NOBLOCKMAP
		+NOGRAVITY
		+SHADOW
		+NOTELEPORT
		+CANNOTPUSH
		+NODAMAGETHRUST
	}
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		FRAM A 0;
		FRAM A 0 A_FaceTarget(0,0);
	Stay: //For testing purposes
		FRAM A 4 Bright A_SetRoll(random(0,359));
		Loop;
		//Stop;
	}
}

I've fiddled with using a pointer but it produces the same result.

I've also attached the .zip of the scripts and the model in question.
