A MonsterRefire

state A_MonsterRefire (int chancecontinue, str "abortstate")

A_CPosRefire
(no parameters)
A_CrusaderRefire
(no parameters)
A_SentinelRefire
(no parameters)
A_SpidRefire
(no parameters)

Calls A_FaceTarget and then checks whether the monster should abort its attack sequence and go back to abortstate. If the target is out of sight or dead, has a chancecontinue/256 chance to continue nonetheless.

The monster-specific functions use the following parameters:

A_CPosRefire: 40, "See"

A_CrusaderRefire: 0, "See"

A_SpidRefire: 10, "See"

A_SentinelRefire: 30, "See"

All these functions jump to the “See” state if the attack is to be aborted. The loop has to be explicitly coded in the actor definition. A_SentinelRefire also has a 10/256 chance of aborting the attack even if the target is still in sight. A_CrusaderRefire is restricted to Crusader and derived classes.

Example

ACTOR SuperZombie : ZombieMan replaces ZombieMan
{
	States
	{
	Missile:
		POSS E 10 A_FaceTarget
		POSS FE 2 Bright A_PosAttack
		POSS F 1 A_MonsterRefire(130, "See") // About 50% chance to jump to "See" if target is out of sight.
		Goto Missile+1                       // Looping back to the attack state to allow the actual refire!
	}
}
