Projectile not reflecting when it hits a player with a reflection powerup

[Baysha]

Hi. I am coding a custom projectile in ZScript. However, when the projectile hits a player with a reflection powerup, it does not reflect as expected. Instead, it simply disappears as if it hit the player normally. The only way I was able to make this work as intended was to inherit from an existing projectile such as DoomImpBall. Is there any way to fix this without inheritance?

Code: Select all

Class HeadLaser : FastProjectile
{
	Default
	{
	Speed 25;
	Height 32;
	Radius 8;
	DamageFunction (40+Random(0,25));
	+ROLLSPRITE
	Projectile;
	DamageType "HeadLaserDMG";
	
	}
	
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		HLAS A 2 
		{
		A_SetRoll(roll+15);
		A_SpawnItemEX("HLtrail",-30,0,0,0,0,0,0,SXF_NOCHECKPOSITION);
		}
		Loop;
	Death:
		TNT1 A 0;
		Stop;
	}
}

Class HLtrail : Actor
{
	Default
	{
	Renderstyle "Translucent";
	+NOGRAVITY
	+ROLLSPRITE
	}
		
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		HLAS A 2
		{
		A_SetRoll(roll+15);
		A_Fadeout(0.05);
		}
	Loop;
	}
}

Everything looks okay. Show us how you applied the reflection on actors.

I don't think FastProjectiles can be reflected due to their quirks. They also can't bounce or be subject to gravity.

That was the problem! Thank you so much!
