Decorate Monster Not Appearing in Zdoom

[flubbernugget]

I modified the zombieman Decorate code from the Zdoom Wiki. I renamed all my graphics of this new monster by replacing the "P" in each sprite name with an "A" (The monster will use the same Xdeath as the zombieman). When I placed this thing in my level, I got the "!" symbol that says a thing has no sprite. Why?

Edit: Forgot to mention that all my graphics are in the same wad with the map and decorate code in a PNG format.

The <!> sign can appear in other conditions as well.

- No actor: make sure your DECORATE lump is named correctly and placed in the global namespace.
- No sprites: make sure your sprites are named correctly as well and placed in the sprite namespace.

Also, I strongly advise you to learn how to use inheritance instead of copy/pasting actors and editing them. It's generally better to derive from an existing actor and just change the things you want changed.

More importantly, for each <!> there's a message in the console telling what's wrong.
