A_KillSiblings

A_KillSiblings (string damagetype)

Called by monsters to kill the monsters that were spawned by the same master (other than the caller). Currently the only function that sets the necessary information is A_SpawnItemEx. Optionally, a damagetype parameter can be given. Note that damage inflicted by this codepointer is not affected by damage factors.

Monsters spawned with A_CustomMissile are not affected by this. A_CustomMissile was never designed to spawn monsters.

Examples

The following is a variant of the doom imp, a monster spawned by a different monster using the master/child flag. If it gets killed with an attack with the "Curse" damage type, its death state triggers A_KillSiblings, killing all of the other monsters spawned by the same master.
