+PUFFGETSOWNER to target non-players

[Matt]

I've got a puff that turns towards its owner and launches an attack. The same puff works as intended if shot by the player, but not if shot by a monster or another puff.*

Would it be possible to change the behaviour so that the puff always targets the shooter no matter what that shooter is?


*In case anyone's wondering, I'm working on a way to make a shotgun guy inaccurate without increasing the spread of his weapon. The idea is to shoot a puff that shoots back at the shotgunner, which creates a second puff that shoots back at the first with the actual shotgun blast.

Wow, not a single reply... am I missing something crucial as to how to use this flag?

[Graf Zahl]

No, all you are missing is that I didn't have any time to do some work on ZDoom recently.

[Graf Zahl]

Added. I have no idea why Torr Samaho coded this limitation into the flag.

This further proves my theory that prolonged Skulltag exposure is highly toxic to a certain region of the cerebral anatomy. ;P

[Matt]

Sweet.

I've even got the trick working, too... except that now the sergeants auto-target anything shootable between them and you. It's like the shootable corpses trick all over again... EDIT: No, wait, it's fine. Turns out the sergeants did that before too...
