Monster Tracer

[ibm5155]

So, My monsters should move like a tracer, he would move directly to the player direction, not going to left or right or another place like the result of A_CHASE.

The monster uses noclip and nogravity so it would work fine as a tracer.

But the question is, how do I make that? I did try to replace A_CHASE by A_TRACER but no sucess :(
And I also tried to find something similar but I didnt found, so, is there a way to do it?

Give the monsters items that make them face their target with A_FaceTarget.

A_Recoil and A_Facetarget. Assuming it's not a flying monster.

It's a flying monster D:

Make the monster use Lost Soul's attack function repeatedly to make it simulate a tracer. When you feel like stopping the monster from flying like that, set its x, y, and z velocity to 0.

A_Recoil and A_Facetarget. Assuming it's not a flying monster.

I already tested it the problem is that it won't move on the z-axis.

You have to use the same function that the lost soul has.

A_Recoil works great for ground monsters, I just wasn't sure if what OP wanted was for a ground monster or not. I'm aware that it only moves monsters along their Y axis.
