A_Saw

A_Saw [(string fullsound [, string hitsound [, int damage [, string pufftype[, int flags[, float range[, float spread_xy[, float spread_z[, float lifesteal]]]]]]]])]

Doom's chainsaw attack for weapons. For monsters, use A_M_Saw.

• fullsound: The sound that plays if the attack doesn't hit anything. Defaults to "weapons/sawfull".
• hitsound: The sound that plays if the weapon hits a target. Defaults to "weapons/sawhit".
• damage: The amount of damage to deal, with the following calculation:

if (damage == 0) damage = 2;
damage *= (random() % 10 + 1);

For example, if damage is 5, the damage dealt will be between 5 and 50. Note that it is not possible to have this function deal 0 damage, since 0 means "use the default value" which is 2.

• pufftype: The puff to spawn if the attack hits a wall or invulnerable actor. Defaults to "BulletPuff".
• flags: The following flags can be combined by using the | character between the constant names:
  • SF_NORANDOM — No random: Disables damage randomization.
  • SF_RANDOMLIGHTMISS — Random light on miss: Adds a 25% chance to toggle lighting if no target is hit.
  • SF_RANDOMLIGHTHIT — Random light on hit: Randomly changes light on hit, like A_GauntletAttack (25% 0, 37.5% 1, 37.5% 2).
  • SF_RANDOMLIGHTBOTH — Random light on both: The two above flags combined, works like A_GauntletAttack.
  • SF_NOUSEAMMOMISS — No ammo use on miss: Do not use ammo if nothing hit.
  • SF_NOUSEAMMO — No ammo use: Do not use ammo.
• range: The maximum range of the attack. The default value is 65.
• spread_xy: Maximum angle of random horizontal spread. Defaults to 2.8125.
• spread_z: Maximum angle of random vertical spread. Defaults to 0.
• lifesteal: If positive, this value is used as a factor for giving back the inflicted damage as hit points to the actor using the calling weapon.
