Railgun.bex

The example file railgun.bex was a DeHackEd patch included with ZDoom v1.17 for demonstrating the particle effect and railgun attack codepointers. This example is likely the primary offender responsible for A_RailWait's continued existence.

Code

[CODEPTR]
Frame 77 = A_FireRailgun
Frame 78 = A_RailWait

# S_PLASMA1
Frame 77
Sprite subnumber = 32768
Duration = 3
Next frame = 78

# S_PLASMA2
Frame 78
Sprite subnumber = 1
Duration = 50
Next frame = 74

A DECORATE equivalent to that code would be:

Actor RailgunDotBex : PlasmaRifle replaces PlasmaRifle
{
	Weapon.SlotNumber 6
	States
	{
	Fire:
		PLSG A 3 Bright A_FireRailgun
 		PLSG B 50
 		Goto Ready
	}
}
