Classes:ArchvileFire

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.

Arch-Vile fire
Actor type	Explosive	Game	(Doom2)
DoomEd Number	None	Class Name	ArchvileFire
Spawn ID	98	Identifier	T_TEMPLARGEFLAME

Classes: ArchvileFire

The temporary flame sprite which follows an Archvile's target while it attacks. Note that this actor does not shoot other actors or players in the air. For that use A_VileAttack.

This is the only standard actor in Doom that calls an action function in its spawn state without looping back to it. As a result, since action functions are called only on state changes and spawning is not a state change, A_StartFire is never actually executed.

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.

class ArchvileFire : Actor
{
	Default
	{
		+NOBLOCKMAP +NOGRAVITY +ZDOOMTRANS
		RenderStyle "Add";
		Alpha 1;
	}
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		FIRE A 2 BRIGHT  A_StartFire;
		FIRE BAB 2 BRIGHT  A_Fire;
		FIRE C 2 BRIGHT  A_FireCrackle;
		FIRE BCBCDCDCDEDED 2 BRIGHT  A_Fire;
		FIRE E 2 BRIGHT  A_FireCrackle;
		FIRE FEFEFGHGHGH 2 BRIGHT  A_Fire;
		Stop;
	}
}

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.
