Classes:Ironlich

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.

Iron lich
Actor type	Monster	Game	(Heretic)
DoomEd Number	6	Class Name	IronLich
Spawn ID	20	Identifier	T_IRONLICH

Classes: IronLich

An iron lich looks nothing like the traditional fantasy lich: they are gigantic helmeted iron skulls, animated by magic and blasting their targets with elemental attacks. Their native action A_LichAttack will result either in a powerful bite if the target is close enough, or in a spell otherwise: either a whirlwind, a ice ball that explodes into tiny shards, or a column of fireballs.

In Heretic.wad, the sprites are actually named HEAD* and are renamed at load-time by ZDoom.
