...and being my WAD I'd like to know why. Here's a link to the WAD thus far if anyone wants to take a look at it.

Well for starters, try telling us what is you're trying to do in your WAD. I started it in Zandronum and it ran fine, and then I figured out it was weapon mod. You didn't really give us enough information to work with. Do you get an error report? Does it happen mid-gameplay or only when you try to start it? Is it a DECORATE problem?

Tested, Did Crash...
The WAD did crash when i was in Underhalls (MAP02), using a Supershot Gun and exploding the Barrels (after picking up the card, etc,etc) with
Zandronum

It happens mid-gameplay and it's likely a DECORATE problem I don't know what. At the moment it's pretty much just a weapon mod but I'm planing on modding the monsters. It freezes mid-gameplay particularly when you change maps, and I have to force close.

Freezing sounds like an infinite loop with zero duration in your DECORATE code.

Thanks. I noticed the firing states had a Refire with duration 0 so I changed those to 1 and it works fine.
EDIT: It is most definitely the select and deselect frames on all weapons. Is there a better way to make instant weapon switches?

Put this in an ACS script that the player calls:
Code: Select all
SetPlayerProperty(0, On, PROP_INSTANTWEAPONSWITCH);

If your going with decorate only spam A_raise with 0 tics and finish with a single line with a raise state with 1 tic as duration..
I haven't tested it tbh but I know from the wiki it'll raise faster by doing multiple instances of a_raise at once.

Thank you sir, giving the raise frames positive values stopped the WAD from freezing with that infinite loop crash.

Well no need for this thread anymore, the script worked perfectly and I can easily edit the DECORATE for my monsters now.
