[Vanilla][DEHACKED] How to make an enemy to respawn after getting killed?

Are you limited to vanilla functions? MBF has a proper Spawn codepointer, as seen in Valiant. The problem with the pain elemental attack is that it spawns the lost soul outside of the pain elemental's collision box, so if you repurpose it to make an enemy respawn "itself" it will respawn in front of itself instead, and may be blocked.

Use one of the Zombies that drops something when killed?

Of course, this means it will respawn instantly, meaning you would probably be better off just making your enemy immortal.

Tried that, but it didn't work. The game is still aware that this object is ammo and not a zombie (possibly by the doom enum)

The truth is that I don't have any limit here (I am also working on my own source port DOOM BFA). But I wanted to make a mod that will be as much compatible as possible. Sure I can make it exclusive to my port if I want to.

Then MBF-compatible would be a fine compromise, I think. It'd still be compatible with popular ports such as Doom Retro, Eternity, GZDoom, or PrBoom+; and you'd get more flexibility.

Well, I decided to integrate the Spawn code pointer to my source port and I will make it MBF compatible.

Thanks for the info @Gez
