I would also suggest giving the actor [ editor keys](https://zdoom.org/wiki/Editor_keys) and maybe a number too, and [ optimizing the sprites](https://imgur.com/a/DJ4x4hS). Besides that, the spelling, grammar, and code indentation are absolutely all over the place. Random letters are capitalized, most function calls are capitalized except for the A_CustomMissile ones, some lines of code are indented at all while most of them are not, properties and flags have random capitalization. The grammar on the obituaries is wrong (e.g "The MechPlasmaDemon Gived nice Orange to %o", should be more like "The Plasma Demon gave a nice orange to %o"). There also seems to be a random strangely named variant of the demon that is mostly translucent. Here's what the code should look more like, using the actor definition up to the Melee state sequence as an example, and should be intended by making spaces in SLADE using the TAB key instead of spacebar: Code: Actor MechPlasmaDemon : Demon 1234 { Health 535 PainChance 40 Speed 18 FastSpeed 25 SeeSound "CyberFiend/sight" PainSound "blooddemon/pain" DeathSound "blooddemon/death" ActiveSound "blooddemon/active" MeleeSound "blooddemon/melee" DropItem "CellPack" DropItem "PlasmaRifle" HitObituary "%o was eaten by a Plasma Demon, yummy." Obituary "The Plasma Demon gave a nice orange to %o" States { Spawn: DME2 AB 10 A_Look Loop See: DME2 A 0 A_PlaySound("blooddemon/walk") DME2 AABB 2 A_Chase DME2 C 0 A_PlaySound("blooddemon/walk") DME2 CCDD 2 A_Chase Loop Melee: DME2 E 4 A_FaceTarget DME2 F 4 A_FaceTarget DME2 G 3 A_FaceTarget Goto See Besides these glaring code issues there's more minor ones, like how the function calls use their flag parameters using the direct integer value of all the flags put together for some reason, instead of using the flag names, which unnecessarily obfuscates the code. Like how the A_CustomMissile calls just have the number 1 as their flag parameter, instead of using CMF_AIMOFFSET, which is the name of the flag that the number 1 represents. A_SpawnItemEx also uses the number 128 for its' flag parameter, but I have no idea what those flags are altogether, because [ the enum for A\_SpawnItemEx's flags uses bit shift operators instead of normal integers/numbers](https://github.com/coelckers/gzdoom/blob/master/wadsrc/static/zscript/constants.zs#L96). All the code issues aside, the NPC is also just very unbalanced, it has 535 health, a bit higher than the Hell Knight, compared to the original Plasma Demon which only had 50 more health than the vanilla Pinky, so since this is meant to be a more powerful Plasma Demon, 250 would be a more fitting and fair amount of health. Also making them always drop a full cell pack and plasma rifle is a bit too generous, making them semi-frequently drop a small cell charge, semi-rarely drop a full charge, and only rarely (If at all.) drop a plasma rifle would be better, [ you can change the chances of DropItem dropping an item and how much of it will be dropped to do that in case you don't know](https://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_properties#DropItem).
