Gamemode help?

[LanHikariDS]

Trying to work on a gamemode for Zandronum, but I'm having some issues. First off, the Fire thing is spawned by the InfectedPlayer, and in ZDoom, the fire teleports to the player every frame, giving the illusion that the fire is following the player. However, in Zandronum, the fire just sits in place when spawned. Next, when a player touches the fire, they're supposed to transform into an InfectedPlayer, but going up tot he fire as a normal player does nothing. Anyone know what's wrong?

Try setting the pointer to APPTR_TARGET so when the fire warps, it follows its target which should be the InfectedPlayer that's spawning it. Alternatively, you could use SXF_ISMASTER instead of SXF_SETMASTER for spawning the fire if you still want it to warp to its master because SXF_SETMASTER actually sets it to become the player's master and not the other way around.

For getting the projectile to morph the players, you can try enabling the +RIPPER flag for the fire actor to see if it will transform the players if they come close.

I don't know if this could make a difference too but remove the +ISMONSTER flag from the actor entirely because it should inherently be treated only as projectile.

Alright, so now it works as it should, but now the player won't stay morphed when infected. The Infected Player is also supposed to lose their weapons, but I don't know how to get rid of them. As is, it swaps them to nothing, but they're allowed to switch back to the weapons they had.
