A_Look

Actor

void A_Look()

Note: This function has been superseded by A_LookEx, which duplicates and extends its functionality. Use of the newer function is advised in order to maintain maximum flexibility in your code.

Usage

Makes the calling actor (presumably a monster) look for its enemies it can attack. If it finds a target, it enters its See state sequence where it'll normally chase and attack its target.

Examples

Almost every monster in Doom uses A_Look. Here is code taken from the Imp monster.

 Spawn:
   TROO AB 10 A_Look;
   loop;

A_Look is called on every animation frame in the Spawn state sequence to check for players.
