Summon custom weapons

[superscrungus]

Hiya, little problem with a custom weapon. Doesn't cause any errors, but it won't spawn in when using the "summon" command, and won't appear with the "give" command. Of note is that it's not part of the existing Doom 2 arsenal, and is a test weapon intended to share the 6th slot with the Plasma Rifle. Just an Unmaker that fires Super Shotgun blasts. Not a problem in and of itself, but if this issue persists to non-test weapons this will quickly get irritating.

Here's the code (no doubt amateurish and probably full of messy mistakes i missed).

Code: Select all

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// Unmaker
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------

actor Unmaker : Weapon 0666
{
	AttackSound "weapons/unmaker"
	Weapon.SelectionOrder 450
	Weapon.SlotNumber 6
	Weapon.SlotPriority 1
	Weapon.AmmoUse 40
	Weapon.AmmoGive 40
	Weapon.AmmoType "Cell"
	Inventory.PickupMessage "$GOTUNMAKER"
	Obituary "$OB_UNMAKERMP"
	Tag "$TAG_UNMAKER"
	States
	{
	Ready:
		UNMA A 1 A_WeaponReady
		Loop
	Deselect:
		UNMA A 1 A_Lower
		Loop
	Select:
		UNMA A 1 A_Raise
		Loop
	Fire:
		UNMA A 0 A_GunFlash
		UNMA A 4 A_FireShotgun2	
		UNMA A 0 A_ReFire
		Goto Ready
	Flash:
		UNMA B 2
		Goto LightDone
	Spawn:
		LGUN A -1
		Stop
	}
}

Is the sprite UNMAA0 present in your file?

Are you sure you placed markers in your wad?
You need to place a marker called S_START at the beginning of your sprite list and one called S_END at the ending. Marker should be the default data type when you make a new entry in SLADE3. Here's what it should look like:

DECORATE.txt
S_START
your sprites go here
S_END

If you don't do this, then doom will not know what the sprites it has to load are.
I hope this helps.

Alternatively, if you are using a .pk3 file, sprites should be in the "Sprites" folder.

That was exactly what I needed! Thought it would've been a much bigger mess to fix lol. Thanks a bunch!
