Classes:PlasmaBall1

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.

 →PlasmaBall2

A green projectile fired from the player's plasma rifle and BFG 9000 in the press-release beta version of Doom. It bounces off floors and ceilings without losing momentum, but explodes when it impacts a wall. Used alongside PlasmaBall2.
