Spawn ID of ZDoom marines

[Glassyman]

I'm working at a map that contains ZDoom features. I would want to spawn marines but I don't know their Spawn ID. I went to Zdoom Wiki but there are no articles that can help me. I need to know ID of

1. Marine BFG
   
2. Marine Chaingun
   
3. Marine Pistol
   
4. Marine Plasma
   
5. Marine Railgun
   
6. Marine Rocket
   
7. Marine Shotgun
   

Thank you for help!

They don't have any. You have to use Spawnspot with their class names. Alternatively you can use DECORATE to create new versions and set their spawn IDs that way.

Do you mean, id to spawn them with the level editor? If so, this is from my Zeth configuration file

I remember doing it by hand years ago, so there must be a list of their thing id somewhere.

Hope it helps.

Grafy is right, I ran into the same problem whem making Noob Project 4. Although Vegeta's alternative might work, it is more customizable to put in Map spots, and put in a script for the type of marine to use. You can open up Nprject4.wad in Doom Builder, and see how I did it its under the "\\Fruit squad" line I wrote. :P

OK, I resolved the problem using DECORATE. I hope it will be fixed in the next version of ZDoom. Thank you very much!

If you refer to the IDs used with Thing_Spawn, this won't be changed. Spawn IDs are no longer assigned to new actors because Thing_Spawn and Thing_Projectile have been superseded by functions that can spawn actors by name. These are called Spawnspot and SpawnProjectile.
