Summary0002973: If i spawn monster with SpawnItemEx when monster is defined in same .dec file it won't be spawned
DescriptionThe monster is not spawned. Cloning actor fails.

Spawned actor never spawns IF it has monster flag and is in same file as the monster that spawns him.

BUT, if actor has flag THRUACTORS. The monster will be spawned.
IF actor is defined earlier IT WILL SPAWN.
Steps To Reproduceactor x1 {

  monster
  (...)
  A_SpawnItemEx( "x2" )

}

actor x2 {...}


If it is not a monster it will spawn. I did not check all combinations tho. Strange bug.

After making test file. Few notes.

It does not matter where the monster actor is defined. It won't spawn.

summon zom1 or zom4 they can't summon it self or monster defined somewhere.

But if you define monster with monster spawner it will be spawned (example zom3),

And if you give flag to monster THRUACTORS and take it away at spawn. It will be spawned. (zom2)


This behavior was in singleplayer of zandronum version (see aditional info)
and it also was in gzdoom. (I did not check zandronum multiplayer )

Sounds like 'not a bug' but it's better to ask in gzdoom github.

Not a bug. You are trying to spawn a solid monster into a solid monster and that doesn't work by default. You'll need the SXF_CheckPosition flag for that, although the presented use case doesn't look like it makes much sense.

" You are trying to spawn a solid monster into a solid monster and that doesn't work by default."

Yet dropitem spawns solid monster (As pointed out in zom3 ).

But ok. All clear now.
