This one launches bouncing ice balls in a spread pattern. Can be quite chaotic in areas with lots of corners and corridors. It's weapon is similar in theme to the Ice Crystal Gun, maybe they originated from the same UAC lab?

This one launches bouncing ice balls in a spread pattern. Can be quite chaotic in areas with lots of...")* We have a spider infestation. Everything works fine except when if it gets morphed or dies morphed, it still spawns vapor clouds. I tried doing a check in the vapor spawner: Code: Spawn: TNT1 A 1 { if(master && !master.MorphFlags) A_SpawnItemEx("Cryotron_Vapour",random(0,32),0,random(24,40),0,0,frandom(0.0,0.3),random(0,360),0,128); } TNT1 A 0 A_Warp(AAPTR_MASTER,0,0,0,0,WARPF_NOCHECKPOSITION|WARPF_INTERPOLATE,"Spawn"); Stop; When the morphed monster dies, the vapor stops spawning but the spawner isn't really removed. I don't know how to resolve this. I know it would be much easier to manage if the clouds come from the Cryotron itself instead of an external class.

If you morph a monster, for example DoomImp, you will get the Pig but you will also get an invisible 'ghost monster' that still makes sounds and shoots fireballs. Killing the pig will stop the ghost. This is with GZDoom 4.12.2 - is this a bug? What is a property in zscript you can check to tell if a monster is currently morphed? Is it if the actor's MorphFlags are greater than zero? I could override tick() and put the vapour spawn function in there on the spider itself, if I can check if it is currently alive and not morphed. Last edit: 1 year 11 months ago by CaptainToenail.

I could override tick() and put the vapour spawn function in there on the spider itself, if I can check if it is currently alive and not morphed. The morph bug has been fixed in the dev builds, I'm using g4.13-pre110-whatever. You can use the virtual functions (Pre/Post)(Morph/Unmorph) to change properties at those moments: Code: bool morbed; override void PreMorph(Actor mo, bool current) { if(!current) { morbed = true; } } override void PostUnMorph(Actor mo, bool current) { if(current) { morbed = false; } } override void Tick() { super.Tick(); if(!isFrozen() && !bCORPSE && !morbed) { A_SpawnItemEx("Cryotron_Vapour",random(0,32),0,random(24,40),0,0,frandom(0.0,0.3),random(0,360),0,128); } } Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy8yMTI5LXN1Ym1pc3Npb24tY3J5b3Ryb24=&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **CaptainToenail** - ![CaptainToenail's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar11652.png?1696711803) Topic Author - Wicked - ![Wicked](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_81_wicked.png) Less More- Posts: 229 - - 1 year 11 months ago [\#12399](#12399) by CaptainToenail Replied by *CaptainToenail* on topic *[\[SUBMISSION\] Cryotron](https://www.realm667.com/forum/closed-submissions/2129-submission-cryotron#12399 "I thought the Cryocubus was really neat and could use a friend so I made an ice-themed Arachnotron.
