[DECORATE] Problem with my weapon wad

[sdracox01]

Hello, I was making a weapon wad for doom but after making the sprites, I had some problems in the DECORATE:
I made 2 ACTORS, one for a the gun FireBall (a stronger plasma ball) and the otherone for the weapon. I can't use the gun when I launch the wad, I can summon it but its invisible and I can't grab it. I don't know what happened but I need help. At least the gun's fire ball works.
The DECORATE of the weapons is:
ACTOR AK47Paladin : DoomWeapon 2508
{
//$Category Weapons
obituary "%o was destroyed by %k's AK47 Paladin."
attacksound "Weapons/AK47P"
inventory.pickupmessage "You got the AK47 Paladin!"
Weapon.SlotNumber 4
weapon.ammotype "Cell"
weapon.ammouse 1
weapon.ammogive 40
States
{
Ready:
AK4P A 1 A_WeaponReady
Stop
Deselect:
AK4P A 1 A_Lower
Stop
Select:
AK4P A 1 A_Raise
Stop
Fire:
AKPF A 1 A_FireCustomMissile ("PaladinPlasmaBall")
AKPF B 1 A_ReFire
goto ready
Spawn:
AKPS A -1
Stop
}
}
Please tell me which part is wrong so I can correct it.

Your sprites need to be between SS_START and SS_END markers, or the game won't know that they are sprites. Also, the Ready, Deselect, and Select states all need to end with Loop, not Stop. If you make those changes, it works, but it needs work.
The shots do not look like they are coming from the tip of the gun. I haven't made new sprites before, but I think you need to adjust the offsets so the tip of the gun is at the center.
The B frame of the firing sprite doesn't show until you let go of the fire button, and a new plasma ball is shot every tic, which is awfully fast. Maybe it will be better if you change the fire state to look more like this:

Code: Select all

  Fire:
    AKPF A 2 A_FireCustomMissile ("PaladinPlasmaBall")
    AKPF B 1
    AK4P A 7 A_ReFire 
    goto ready

This will shoot at the same speed as the plasma rifle, but it will have a shorter wait before you can fire again (7 tics rather than 20 tics). It would be better if you made a sprite with the weapon held up like the plasma rifle after you shoot, but that is optional.
The sound needs to be the plasma ball's SeeSound rather than the weapon's AttackSound, but even when I did that, no sound plays. Maybe it is in an unsupported sound format.

Ok, I will modify the gun, and sound. Thank you very much!
