What I do know, however, is that you can make things float up and down just like the artifacts from Heretic and Hexen. To do that, you use the FLOATBOB flag.

While I don't know if this works, try also to implement [ FloatSpeed](http://zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_properties#FloatSpeed) flag to your items: maybe it's the most easy way to solve your problems.

Ensure the item is subject to gravity (it should be normally), make sure the Spawn state loops, then have the item call this once in a while in its Spawn state and that should do it.

I'm not sure I get it. I see ThrustThingZ used for this general kind of thing fairly often; what's the advantage to using A_ChangeVelocity instead of ThrustThingZ to start its upward motion? The description on the wiki doesn't give me any obvious answers as to why; it just looks like the former has more parameters to fill in than the latter.

The description on the wiki doesn't give me any obvious answers as to why; it just looks like the former has more parameters to fill in than the latter. A_ChangeVelocity is a new function that was put in to replace things like ThrustThingZ with a more flexible alternative. Because of that, ThrustThingZ is less likely to have continued support since there's a better, newer way to do what it does.
