Even with the radius thrust removed, it still does damage. It seems that it does exactly 41% damage. I really don't think it's caused by that radius thrust, ripper damage, ripper flag, or anything like that.

EDIT: Okay, so after I removed the MageStaff tracking and the +SeekerMissile flag, the weapon is no longer doing any damage at all! The downside? It has no homing capabilities! Help?

Does adding the seekermissile flag make it do damage?

Nope, it doesn't change anything. It seems like it definitely the MageStaffTrack thing, but that's what I need to make it home in.

Well, it doesn't work that well compared to mage staff tracking, but I guess it will have to do. Just gotta tweak it a lot. Thanks gummywormz!

Aura - Is it possible to code a projectile (ex. a large meteor) to make it create an earthquake when it dies, or would it have to be scripted into the level itself?

Aura - I think I tried putting in A_Quake before. It wouldn't appear highlighted in the script and it comes up:
Script error, "MeteorTest.wad:DECORATE" line 96:
Invalid state parameter a_quake
when I try to load it.

Code: [Select]
actor BigMeteor
{
PROJECTILE
+RIPPER
Scale 20
Radius 16
Height 16
States
{
Spawn:
METE B 0 A_Explode(100, 300, 0)
METE B 1
loop
Death:
METE B 0 A_Stop
METE B 0 A_Quake(7,10,0,1000,"misc/hugequake")
METE B 0 A_SpawnItemEx("BigMeteorSet",0,0,0,0,0)
stop
}
}I am obviously doing something wrong, somewhere.

I think actors can call acs stuff directly so try: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Radius_Quake

Aura - Okay, let's see:
Code: [Select]
actor BigMeteor
{
PROJECTILE
+RIPPER
Scale 20
Radius 16
Height 16
States
{
Spawn:
METE B 0 A_Explode(100, 300, 0)
METE B 1
loop
Death:
METE B 0 A_Stop
METE B 0 ACS_Execute(1,0,0)
METE B 0 A_PlaySoundEx("misc/hugequake","Voice")
METE B 0 A_SpawnItemEx("BigMeteorSet",0,0,0,0,0)
stop
}
}
Code: [Select]
#include "zcommon.acs"
Script 1 OPEN
{
Radius_Quake(7,100,0,1000,2);
}The "tid" marks a Map Spot placed at the center of the map.
Everytime the meteor hits, "P_StartScript: Unknown Script 1" pops up.

Firstly the script type must be (void) in order for it to be called properly. Secondly, try it like this:

Code: [Select]
actor BigMeteor
{
PROJECTILE
+RIPPER
Scale 20
Radius 16
Height 16
States
{
Spawn:
METE B 0 A_Explode(100, 300, 0)
METE B 1
loop
Death:
METE B 0 A_Stop
METE B 0 A_PlaySoundEx("misc/hugequake","Voice")
METE B 0 Radius_Quake(7,100,0,1000,0)
METE B 0 A_SpawnItemEx("BigMeteorSet",0,0,0,0,0)
stop
}
}

Script 1 is usually reserved for map scripts. May I suggest using a different, higher script number? Perhaps 110 or so?

Define "fall down."
Perhaps you just want -NOGRAVITY on your projectile.
