How do i make an effect similar to the Arc of Death?
i wanna make a projectile which acts similar to the arc of death, but instead of doing constant damage to the target, it will spawn a falling projectile from the roof once it hits it target, but im not sure how to, would somebody please explain me or help? :3

invisible floorhugger that will spawn thing in death state? I'm not entirely sure what do you mean by that.

i wanna make a "death state", kinda like the way the Arc of Death lightings act, i mean that they stick on their target while doing constant damage, but instead of this, i want a ceillinghugger to spawn missiles which will fall to the groundCloudFlash wrote: invisible floorhugger that will spawn thing in death state?

Then maybe make floorhugger spawn the ceiling hugger, which will then spawn items?

but that still lacks the effect of sticking onto the target D:CloudFlash wrote: Then maybe make floorhugger spawn the ceiling hugger, which will then spawn items?

doubt that would work, cause in case of a ripper projectile, it would get past throug the target, not stick on itKlofkac wrote: Ripper homing projectile?

You're gonna have to inherit from the LightningFloor and LightningCeiling actors and set the damage they do to 0. Then make whatever inherits from LightningCeiling spawn what you want to drop on the target. Then replace the LightningZap actor with a completely empty actor to prevent the native functions from spawning it.

I see...yeah that may work, thanks. btw, i took a deep look onto the code and they mention something of "lastenemy", is there a way to apply that property whitow inheriting?Popsoap wrote: You're gonna have to inherit from the LightningFloor and LightningCeiling actors and set the damage they do to 0.
