Classes:Berserk

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.

Berserk
Actor type	Powerup	Game	(Doom)
DoomEd Number	2023	Class Name	Berserk
Spawn ID	134	Identifier	T_BERSERK

Classes: Inventory→CustomInventory→Berserk

When a berserk pack (or inherited actor) is picked up, it heals 100 health and switches the player's weapon to the fist (if available). The fist attack does 10 times as much damage as it would otherwise for the remainder of the level. However this doesn't apply when using a A_CustomPunch and chainsaw's A_Saw.

The Berserk pickup itself is a CustomInventory. The damage increase and screen reddering come from the PowerStrength powerup.

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 Berserk : CustomInventory
{
	Default
	{
		+COUNTITEM
		+INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP
		+INVENTORY.ISHEALTH
		Inventory.PickupMessage "$GOTBERSERK";
		Inventory.PickupSound "misc/p_pkup";
	}
	States
	{
	Spawn:
		PSTR A -1 Bright;
		Stop;
	Pickup:
		TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("PowerStrength");
		TNT1 A 0 HealThing(100, 0);
		TNT1 A 0 A_SelectWeapon("Fist");
		Stop;
	}
}

DECORATE definition

Note: This is legacy code, kept for archival purposes only. DECORATE is deprecated in GZDoom and is completely superseded by ZScript. GZDoom internally uses the ZScript definition above.

ACTOR Berserk : CustomInventory

  Pickup:
    TNT1 A 0 A_GiveInventory("PowerStrength")
    TNT1 A 0 HealThing(100, 0)
