One way to do this in DECORATE is to create an actor such as this:

Code: Select all

Actor RedDot
{
  +NOGRAVITY
  +NOBLOCKMAP
  +ALWAYSPUFF
  +PUFFONACTORS
  +BLOODLESSIMPACT
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    TNT1 A 1 NoDelay A_SpawnParticle("red",SPF_FULLBRIGHT,1,10)
    Stop
  }
}

And then in your weapon's Ready state fire a 0 damage hitscan attack with that actor set as the bullet puff:

Code: Select all

  Ready:
    SHTG A 0 A_FireBullets(0,0,1,0,"RedDot",FBF_NORANDOMPUFFZ)
    SHTG A 1 A_WeaponReady
    Loop

how do i make the laser sight leave no decal

Instead of making the gun leave the decal, make the bullet puff leave it.
So remove the decal definition from your weapon and create a custom puff that leaves it instead:
Actor NewBulletPuff : BulletPuff {Decal BulletChip}
Then make your weapon use this new puff.
