Classes:ExplosiveBarrel

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: ExplosiveBarrel

A barrel full of green goop that can be destroyed, causing explosive damage. Several barrels near each other can be used to create large chain-reactions, as shown in the Doom 2 map "Barrels O' Fun". Barrels will respawn in multiplayer games if the sv_barrelrespawn CVAR is set.

ZScript definition

Note: The ZScript definition below is for reference and may be different in the current version of UZDoom. The most up-to-date version of this code can be found on UZDoom GitHub.

DECORATE definition

Warning: This is legacy code, kept for archival purposes only. DECORATE was effectively deprecated with the introduction of ZScript. UZDoom internally uses the ZScript definition above.
