XWE edit weap damage

[skib]

So I pasted the pistol code into the XWE DECORATE lump and changed the actor name to strong pistol, then i saved and ran it in st it worked!
I pasted A_FirePistol into it but it didn't work!
So I added the {{}} where it was needed and it said: PISG is not a flag!

Here's the code plus the brackets:
{
{PISG B 0 A_FireBullets (5.6, 0, 1, 5, "BulletPuff")
PISG B 0 A_PlaySound("weapons/pistol", CHAN_WEAPON)
PISG B 6 A_GunFlash}
}

Help! Please.

That's not valid DECORATE syntax. It should look something like this:

actor Whatever
{
  states
  {
  Spawn:
    FOOB A 5 A_DoStuff("args", 1)
    loop
  }
}

OK
So actor A_FirePistol?

A_FirePistol would be an action function, not an actor. An actor is an object, such as things you place on the map with Doom Builder or projectiles that monsters fire, or items you can collect.

An action function is something that an actor can call from one of its states to perform that action. Such as firing said projectiles, or bullets, or dying, or scratching, or whatever else.

I hate to seem like I'm self-promoting, but you'd probably get a lot of use out of this.
