A_PosAttack

Actor

void A_PosAttack()

Usage

The attack of Doom's zombieman. This shoots one bullet and plays the sound “grunt/attack”.

It is the equivalent to calling A_CustomBulletAttack with the parameters (22.5, 0, 1, random(1,5)*3, "BulletPuff", 0, CBAF_NORANDOM).

Examples

This example is taken straight from Doom's Zombieman.

 Missile:
   POSS E 10 A_FaceTarget;
   POSS F 8 A_PosAttack;
   POSS E 8;
   goto See;

This example uses a generic function to exactly replicate it instead.

 Missile:
   POSS E 10 A_FaceTarget;
   POSS E 0 A_StartSound ("grunt/attack", CHAN_WEAPON);
   POSS F 8 A_CustomBulletAttack (22.5, 0, 1, random(1,5) * 3, flags: CBAF_NORANDOM);
   POSS E 8;
   goto See;
