[SOLVED] _RailAttack is always cause alert when hit

[Void Weaver]

Have exactly same trouble, and do bump it since it wasn't solved or fixed.

My code:

Code: Select all

Actor GuidedLauncher : Weapon replaces RocketLauncher
{
Weapon.Kickback 100
Weapon.SelectionOrder 2500
Weapon.SlotNumber 5
Weapon.AmmoUse 1
Weapon.AmmoGive 2
Weapon.AmmoType "RocketAmmo"
Inventory.PickupMessage "You picked up a guided rocket launcher."
+WEAPON.NOAUTOFIRE
+WEAPON.NOALERT
+WEAPON.NOAUTOAIM

States
{
Ready:
MISG A 1 
{
A_RailAttack(0,0,0,"None","Red",1,0,"FakeLaser",0,0,16384,1,frandom(0.5,1.5),0); //Always alerts monster which got hit
//A_FireBullets(0,0,1,0,"FakeLaser",FBF_NORANDOMPUFFZ); //Never alerts monster which got hit
A_WeaponReady;
}
Loop
}
}

Actor FakeLaser

I guess that _RailAttack doesn't cause pain (because in that way monster would got painlocked) but someway alert monster who's got hit by rail. Can it be avoided or fixed?

In my test, using your code, monsters were not alerted when got hit by the rail.

I'm using GZDoom 4.1.3, if that matters.

Oh... Yep, seems this was fixed in 3.7.3 or later, because in 4.0 a 0-damage _RailAttack doesn't alerts monsters, but does it in 3.7.0-3.7.2.
Thank you very much. ^_^
