Classes:BFGBall

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.

BFG9000 plasma ball
Actor type	Explosive	Game	(Doom)
DoomEd Number	None	Class Name	BFGBall
Spawn ID	128	Identifier	T_BFGSHOT

Classes: BFGBall

Projectile that is launched from Doom and Doom 2's BFG9000 weapon. With 100 damage and damaging tracers, this is easily the most powerful projectile in Doom.

The BFG tracers will create green splashes on the monsters, making it easy to see which targets were actually hit. The weapon also defines a damage type, which is "BFGSplash", which is defined in the aforementioned splashes.
