ZDoom

Hi there,


So, I'm making a monster that spawns a secondary actor transfering its own pointers to this actor, and then such actor calls Thing_ProjectileIntercept. As the intention was to make the actor aim at the monster's current target, my 'intuitive' first try was:
The '1544' is the spawnid of the projectile, of course.
However, because projectiles use "target" pointer to get the monster tat shoots then, it tried to hit the monster itself. I took a look here but I could not get if actually there is way to expose the monster's target to Thing_ProjectileIntercept.

If I manage to arbitrary change player's TID to a number, and set this number to the code line, it works just fine. However, the map must have coop support with different TIDs. It also must be "Zscript-free" because of Zandronum compatibility, and... requirements of the dev team.


Is there a way to get it DECORATE side? I'm guessing I could use ACS and ACS ExecuteWithResult to get it, but I'd preffer to keep it DECORATE only, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Use "tracer" for storing the actor that is the current monster target. Transfer "target" pointer from monster, to "tracer" pointer in projectile. Then use AAPTR_TRACER instead AAPTR_TARGET.

Oh, I thought that only seeker missiles use it. Thanks, Krokots!
