But as it turns out, there's apparently no other way to flip a sprite in Zandronum because of how archaic it is.

The intention was for the crystals to look like they are reflecting light rather than glowing themselves but I guess GZDoom can't really pull that off convincingly. Anywho that should be it ready now. - [ ...alClusters.zip ](https://www.realm667.com/forum/attachment/1049?download=1 "...alClusters.zip") [ ](https://www.realm667.com/forum/attachment/1049?download=1 "...alClusters.zip") Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy8xNjU4LXN1Ym1pc3Npb24tY3J5c3RhbC1jbHVzdGVycw==&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **inkoalawetrust** - ![inkoalawetrust's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar11669.jpg?1718890853) - Moderator - ![Moderator](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_20_barrel.png) Less More- Posts: 254 - - 4 years 11 months ago [\#9259](#9259) by inkoalawetrust Replied by *inkoalawetrust* on topic *[\[SUBMISSION\] Crystal Clusters](https://www.realm667.com/forum/closed-submissions/1658-submission-crystal-clusters#9259 "Information: Name: Crystal Clusters Connection: None Palette: Doom Summon:  Ambient Sound: No De-/Activatable: No Destroyable: No Special Effects: Random sprite flip Brightmaps: No Actor modification: No ACS: No Credits: Code: Captain Toenail GLDefs: Captain Toenail Sprites: Captain Toenail Description:     Crystal formations in various sizes and colours.

But yeah it didn't really look like they are reflecting light as much as it looks like they were dimly emitting it. It would probably look kind of odd in really dark areas too, for them to apparently be reflecting light out of nothing. Well the submission seems to be fine, I'll see about approving it in an hour or two.
