I need help with an actor.

[PotatoStrike]

I tried to make an actor: it's meant to be a spike-like actor. I copied Bubble Man's Spiney code and replaced everything I needed. This is what I wrote to make the actor:

Code: [Select]

actor MercurySpike 11714
{
//$Category MM8BDM-Interactive Props
+DONTBLAST
+NOGRAVITY
+THRUGHOST
Height 16
Radius 16
scale 2.5
states
{
Spawn:
TNT1 A 0
TNT1 A 1 A_SpawnItemEx("SpikeDamager")
goto Graphic
Graphic:
MERS A -1
stop
}
}
Then, I added this resource to a map and I see that it was indeed included in the MM8BDM Interactive Props, but, when I want to test it, there is no texture: look at this http://imgur.com/a/hCAs9

Can someone help me with this, please?

EDIT: Nevermind, it was just something about the sprite slot limit: 50000 is too much, now changed to 11714. Now there is a problem with the texture, it's missing.

Code: [Select]

actor MercurySpike 50000

Code: [Select]

DoomEdNum must be in the range [-1,32767]
The DoomEdNum of your actor is going over the maximum allowed by Zandronum. Just set it to something that doesn't conflict with the standard editor numbers or MM8BDM's actors and it should be fine.

Thank you! Now I just need help with the texture and how I actually can apply it to the actor...

If its in a WAD file, make sure the sprite is aligned and between SS_START and SS_END tags.

I have nothing like SS_START and SS_END in my file...
I mean, I have a texture for the spike (I named it MERSA0) and I put "MERS A -1" at line 17... This is the only problem I have right now: the texture didn't apply.

You need to put it in between tags in a wad file. This is how the engine determines what kind of file it is since there are no file extensions or folders in a WAD archive. Either put it in between the tags, or move the wad to a pk3 and put it in a sprites folder.
