Yo.

I replaced the Hell Knight with a Hell Knight that shoots multiple times instead of just once when it attacks. But this somehow crashes ZDoom and GZDoom.

What's the point of inheriting from the Hell Knight just to duplicate all it's data?

code:
actor HellKnightIdiot : HellKnight replaces HellKnight
{
states
{
Melee:
Missile:
BOS2 EF 8 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 8 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
BOS2 EF 2 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
BOS2 EF 2 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
BOS2 EF 1 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
BOS2 EF 1 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
goto See
}
}

Uh-oh... actually, that part works. The problem is, I made a... "super-pistol"... And it crashes when you die!

Here's my new DECORATE.txt file:

BOS2 EF 1 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
BOS2 EF 1 A_FaceTarget
BOS2 G 1 A_BruisAttack // See BaronBall
goto See
}
}

Actually, I found the problem. Setting the "lower" state to zero tics makes it crash. x.x

How about that?

Why don't I have a custom title by now?!

It causes an infinite loop that ultimately brings the engine into an unstable state.

Why do you copy the entire actor's code? Just make an actor that inherits from the first, with only the necessary changes, and that's all. If the decorate code for existing actors is given on the wiki, it's as reference and example, not for the purpose of being copied. What's the point? It's standard data. You don't need to give it to ZDoom, it's already in ZDoom.

So derive your actor from the existing ones, but stop copy/pasting from the wiki! That's not how you're supposed to do anything!

And never give your actors a name that already exists. Your pistol is named pistol, this creates a name conflict. Don't do that. It's a big source of problems and may lead to crash when loading saves, as the engine can be confused on which "pistol" you have, since two different actor classes have this name.
