Classes: BulletPuff

Bullet puff used for hitscan attacks in Doom. It can also be used as a base class for creating new bullet puffs.

Using in DECORATE

The behavior of a bullet puff depends on the result of the hitscan attack that uses it:

• missed

activesound is played. Additionally, if ALWAYSPUFF flag is set, Crash state sequence is entered.

• hit wall

attacksound is played and Crash state sequence is entered.

• hit actor

seesound is played and if the actor is not shootable Spawn state sequence is entered (for melee attack Melee state sequence is entered instead).

If the actor is shootable (none of the flags NOBLOOD, INVULNERABLE, DORMANT are set), blood is spawned instead of the puff.

If A_BulletAttack, A_CustomBulletAttack, A_FireBullets or A_CustomPunch is used, the puff's damagetype property defines the hitscan attack's damage type.

note: If no Crash or Melee state sequence is defined, Spawn state sequence is entered by default.

note: If ALLOWPARTICLES flag is set the puff can be replaced by particles (depends on user settings).

BulletPuff (and inherited actors) also move up 1 mappixel per tic.
