Correct Cyberdemon rocket placement?

Yea I need a little more help.

This code will make the Cybedemon shoot its rockets at a height of 52 units and 24 units to the left (his left).  I copied-and-pasted the Missile state of the Cyberdemon's DECORATE code, replaced A_CyberAttack with A_CusomMissile, and adjusted the numbers a few times until it looked right.  I used the older A_CustomMissile instead of the newer A_SpawnProjectile so it will work in Zandronum as well as ZDoom, GZDoom, or QZDoom.

ACTOR EmpyresAmazingCyberdemonReplacement : Cyberdemon replaces Cyberdemon
{
  States
  {
  Missile:
    CYBR E 6 A_FaceTarget
    CYBR F 12 A_CustomMissile("Rocket", 52, -24)
    CYBR E 12 A_FaceTarget
    CYBR F 12 A_CustomMissile("Rocket", 52, -24)
    CYBR E 12 A_FaceTarget
    CYBR F 12 A_CustomMissile("Rocket", 52, -24)
    Goto See
  }
}

Using Slade 3, make a new wad, add a new entry named DECORATE, copy-and-paste this into it, and give the wad a name like BetterCyberdemon.wad.  Feel free to change the name of the actor.  This could be your first step into making monsters of your own.

It can be done using DECORATE.  You would need to use A_SpawnProjectile("Rocket", <height>, <XOffset>)

Never mind, I got it working. Thank you so much! I really appreciate the time you took to make this! And yes, I hope I can one day make edits and changes of my own.

it is a good sign that you were able to fix the problem yourself.  I means that you are on the right track to becoming a modder.
