A suggestion: I feel like it would look better if the item wasn't sitting on the floor, maybe give it the FLOATBOB flag, or just modify its offset so it looks like it's floating?

Also I am ok with BS suggestion, the floating effect could give to it more magic/exoteric vibe to the object. I think that if you'll go for unique sprites for the blast effect, I suggest to apply translucent mini-pentacle in line with the powerup design, maybe grab the pentacle out from itself without its background and have it rotating while the effect starts.

I'm open to either, though. As for the blast effect, I haven't given it any particular thought yet. I just used the Hexen ones to have something functional in place, and found them acceptable; I'm not beholden to them, though, and will think about an alternative. ![:)](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/emoticons/cacsmi.gif ":)") Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy81NzYtcGVudGFjbGUtb2YtcHJvamVjdGlvbj9zdGFydD0xMA==&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **Tormentor667** - ![Tormentor667's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar10.jpg) - Founder - ![Founder](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_20c_barrel.png) Less More- Posts: 440 - - - - [](http://www.dg-media.com) - 10 years 2 months ago [\#3699](#3699) by Tormentor667 Replied by *Tormentor667* on topic *[Pentacle of Projection](https://www.realm667.com/forum/closed-submissions/576-pentacle-of-projection?start=10#3699 "Information: Name: Pentacle of Projection Type: Repulsion Palette: Custom Summon: PentacleOfProjection Use type: Inventory Duration: Instant Added States: No ACS: No Credits: Submitted: MagicWazard Decorate: MagicWazard GLDefs: N/A Sounds: id Software Sprites: MagicWazard (pentacle); Raven (blast effect) Sprite Edit: MagicWazard Idea Base: Hexen's Disc of Repulsion; Quake's Pentagram of Protection Description: A Doom-themed version of the Disc of Repulsion.

If it is a carrieable item it shouldn't look like an orb Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy81NzYtcGVudGFjbGUtb2YtcHJvamVjdGlvbj9zdGFydD0xMA==&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation. - **MagicWazard** - ![MagicWazard's Avatar](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar517.png) Topic Author - Moderator - ![Moderator](https://www.realm667.com/media/kunena/ranks/rank_20_barrel.png) Less More- Posts: 808 - - - - 10 years 2 months ago [\#3721](#3721) by MagicWazard Replied by *MagicWazard* on topic *[Pentacle of Projection](https://www.realm667.com/forum/closed-submissions/576-pentacle-of-projection?start=10#3721 "Information: Name: Pentacle of Projection Type: Repulsion Palette: Custom Summon: PentacleOfProjection Use type: Inventory Duration: Instant Added States: No ACS: No Credits: Submitted: MagicWazard Decorate: MagicWazard GLDefs: N/A Sounds: id Software Sprites: MagicWazard (pentacle); Raven (blast effect) Sprite Edit: MagicWazard Idea Base: Hexen's Disc of Repulsion; Quake's Pentagram of Protection Description: A Doom-themed version of the Disc of Repulsion. It emits a blast wave on use that pushes away nearby enemies, and repels projectiles. Preview: Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vo9win4qxfm38hu/pentacleofprojection.zip?dl=0 This is a pretty basic item that replicates the function of the Disc of Repulsion, but in a Doom environment. The name is a play off of Quake's Pentagram of Protection. I've been wanting one of these for a while--not just because it's useful on its own merits, but also to hopefully counteract some of the community vitriol towards the Vore and its unique homing projectile that a lot of people seem to have trouble dealing with. :P (Can't dodge it? Reflect it!) I'd like feedback on whether the sprite "works" or not in terms of style. (The sprite is a bit larger than it's displayed in-game, since a pentagram/pentacle shape just doesn't read well when it's too small.) Also, on whether the "blast effect" is acceptable, or how to improve it. EDIT: Updated "credits" portion of OP since the submission includes some modified versions of Raven's sprites for the visible blast effect on monsters. Submission contents will be updated accordingly. EDIT 2: Recolored the blast effect sprites, and changed their blending mode. (Old mode is commented out but not deleted.)

That said, my Familiar Summon submission used an orb as the pickup item, and that got accepted, as did the Possession Sphere...![;)](https://www.realm667.com/wink.gif ";)") Please [Log in](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVhbG02NjcuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2Nsb3NlZC1zdWJtaXNzaW9ucy81NzYtcGVudGFjbGUtb2YtcHJvamVjdGlvbj9zdGFydD0xMA==&Itemid=2662) or [Create an account](https://www.realm667.com/component/users/registration?Itemid=2662) to join the conversation.
