Monster summons other monsters

Post by Hidden Hands »

I've toyed about with this but I cannot seem to get this to work... I have a monster that stands stationary at the top of a mountain. It's only attack is to summon enemies "(lost soul style mini monsters) that attack the player. But I cannot get him to summon them. He just stands there doing the attack animations but no summon is happening. I checked out the Pain Elemental decorate, and even that doesn't clarify this.

Strangely enough I was able to do this successfully back in 2014. What have I forgotten? What is the vital tag I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

You have to post the code for that summoning monster so we can figure out what is missing. You are using A_PainAttack ?
