NOTAUTOAIMED and weapon.noautoaim not working

Hi there,
Looked these two DECORATE flags up on the wiki but it doesn't look like they work in the latest version of Zandronum.

Example:
"weapon.noautoaim" is an unknown actor property

Does anyone know of a valid workaround for this?
I've got lightbulbs that are shootable.
As HexaDoken pointed out, I wasn't using a + for the weapon.noautoaim flag :lol:

Still not sure about the other one however

+NOTAUTOAIMED is indeed unsupported, it seems.

+WEAPON.NOAUTOAIM works, GrenadeLauncher uses it. Actually I implemented this flag before ZDoom even had it.

I think in this chase he want it to work from the lightbulbs side, so he can autoaim other things but not the lightbulbs? Anyway such a feature would be nice... idea is coming up...

you can't exclude specific +SHOOTABLE actors from an autoaim check in zandronum

yet another reason zdoom is better

IMHO it doesn't make sense to say that ZDoom is better (or worse) than Zandronum (unless you consider ZDoom's p2p network model to be better than a client/server approach). That's comparing apples and oranges.

Imho, I'd think it's more comparing golden delicious apples to granny smith apples, since both of them are based from the same tree.

I think +NOTARGET should do the trick.
My coding memory is a little rusty though, so don't rage if I was incorrect...

sv_smartaim is supposed to have a setting that targets only enemies.

NoTarget doesn't prevent players from targeting anything, it only prevents NPCs (non-player-characters) from targeting something, I believe.

I need a way to prevent one player from auto-aiming another one, like if SetPlayerProperty(0,1,PROP_NOTARGET) actually worked for PvP.
