I wanted the MBF Dogs to look like the doom player.
I switched the sprites of the MBFHelperDog in the file 'Things.edf' to the sprites of DoomPlayer.
Everything seems to be fine, but the problem is that the dog doesn't move after all.
Here is what it looks like now:

code:thingtype MBFHelperDog {
  doomednum = 888
  spawnstate = S_PLAY
  spawnhealth = 500
  seestate = S_PLAY_RUN1
  seesound = dgsit
  attacksound = dgatk
  painstate = S_PLAY_PAIN
  painchance = 180
  painsound = plpain
  meleestate = S_DOGS_ATK1
  deathstate = S_PLAY_DIE1
  deathsound = pldeth
  speed = 10
  radius = 16.0
  height = 56.0
  activesound = dgact
  cflags = SOLID|SHOOTABLE|COUNTKILL|JUMPDOWN|FOOTCLIP|SPACMONSTER
  raisestate = S_DOGS_RAISE1
  obituary_melee = "was chased down by a rabid puppy"
  dehackednum = 140
}

Can you guys tell me what is the problem?
Thanks in advance.

The player's states are not meant for use by a monster. They don't contain the necessary code pointers to make it move.

Ok, I think I understand.
Thank you for explaining me.

The easier way to do this is to make an entirely new object and frameset that looks like a player, and then in a BEX patch, use the following:

[HELPER]
type = <DeHackEd Number>

Where DeHackEd number is some unique number which you assign to the thing (use a number >= 10000 for forward compatibility purposes). Actually I'm not sure the name of the field is "type", but you can find documentation of the helper type specification in the DeHackEd/BEX reference to be sure.
