Unsupported zDoom functionality?

[RobbyPants]

I'm working on modifying the Pain Elemental so that it makes zombies, and I don't want them shooting out at the player the same way that a Lost Soul does. Looking at the zDoom wiki, the third parameter in the A_PainAttack script does just that. However, when I attempt to run the file, it complains that it only wants one parameter (It says it's expecting a ')' but got ',').

Is there anything wrong with this line?

Code: Select all

PAIN F 1 Bright A_PainAttack("Zombie1", 0, PAF_NOSKULLATTACK, 0)

If I remove the other three parameters, it works fine, other than that the zombies go shooting across the screen.

yeah, the extra parameters aren't supported yet. you're better off using A_SpawnItemEx if you want them to just drop down

That looks very useful. Thank you! I'll have to test it out tonight.

Half the time in Zandronum modding is spent trying to replicate advanced ZDoom functions.

You're gonna have to get used to this, man. :p
