Getting my enemy to attack isn't working

[Xegethra]

Cheeky title change!! This is no longer about Imp code firing fireballs but my other problem still exists.

*Edit*

Ahh so many edits.

Well anyway, my big enemy works, my little enemy works....but I can't figure out how to make the bigger one spit out the little one. I tried to imitate the code that comes with the Elemental and Lost Soul but no luck so far.

I had a look on the wiki but I can't make sense of it. I'm currently looking for a tutorial on it should there be any....

*Edit again*

Well that's something, I can make my bigger enemy use different types of enemy attacks easily enough....but I can't for the life of me get him to fire out the little enemy I made. I don't know how to link the two and I can't find any clear info on it.

How are you making these enemies exactly? Dehacked or a content definition language?

[Xegethra]

Oh I forgot to mention.

I am using DECORATE in Slade.

If it'll help, I put both enemies in a WAD for people to look at.

As you can see I've been messing around some. But I can't seem to reach what I want.

I want that little ant, to be spat out by that bigger ant.

Also, please excuse my sprite work, I'm not really that good at it >_>

A_PainAttack will spawn lost souls by default if you don't specify which actor to spawn. So, doing the following should do it:

FLAM F 1 bright A_PainAttack("LittleAnt")

There are more options you can have with that codepointer, so you might want to check its linked article just above.

[Xegethra]

Oh, I've been doing that all wrong. In the past I've tried putting in FLAM F 1 bright A_AntManAttack or some such like, sometimes putting // See LittleAnt in there too . but of course, it not showing up orange and being wrong in general I got no results.

I even also tried specifying the little enemy as a projectile which needless to say went horribly wrong.

But thanks for the help though, I'll check out that article and see if I can learn more about it. I'm not a code master so doing this made me wanna kill somebody!

// marks the beginning of a comment -- everything behind it up to the end of the line is ignored by the game. So comments like // See lostsoul serve to help explain what the code does -- e.g., since the function spawns a lost soul, you can check the lost soul's article for explanation of what it does.

[Xegethra]

Ahh I see. Perhaps leaving comments now that I know can, would be a good idea.

My enemy now works though, so thanks once again.

Also excuse my sprite work once more, I need a bit more practice I think. But he functions.
