Changing Monster drops with MAPINFO?

[Phade102]

I was wanting to possibly change what monsters drop, such as a Chaingunner dropping a clip instead of a chaingun and a shotgunner dropping shells instead of a shotgun. I was wondering if MAPINFO can do that? or does it require something else?

you can simply modify the existing chaingun guy, afaik

Yes. Basically, it would be something like this:

PhadeChaingunGuy : ChaingunGuy replaces ChaingunGuy
{
  DropItem "Clip"
}

You only have to specify what is changing. The rest in inherited from the ChaingunGuy class.

YourClass'sUniqueName : WhatItIsInheritingForm replaces WhatItIsReplacing

Oh no, not MAPINFO. DECORATE is what you want.

See the DropItem part? That's what you want.
