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.

Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things:
  1. You do not need to copy that actor, since it is already defined.
  2. In fact, it's not just useless, it's actually harmful as it can cause problems.
  3. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go.
  4. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them.
  5. There is only one exception: if what you want is changing Ammo capacity, you need to create a new type from Ammo.

Classes: ArchvileFire

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 GZDoom.The most up-to-date version of this code can be found on GZDoom GitHub.
class ArchvileFire : Actor

	Default
	{
		+NOBLOCKMAP +NOGRAVITY +ZDOOMTRANS
		RenderStyle "Add";
		Alpha 1;
	}

DECORATE definition
Note: This is legacy code, kept here for reference only. DECORATE is still supported but no longer used by GZDoom. GZDoom internally uses the ZScript definition above.
