Weapon flags

• WEAPON.NOAUTOFIRE

Does not fire when selected automatically and the fire button is still pressed. Used to prevent dangerous weapons from firing accidentally.

In addition to the main effect, if a weapon uses this flag and does not call A_ReFire anywhere, it won't be able to fire continuously if the player just keeps holding the attack button; instead, the player will be required to press it every time they want the weapon to fire.

• WEAPON.READYSNDHALF

The ready sound is played only with 50% probability.

• WEAPON.DONTBOB

The weapon sprite does not bob.

• WEAPON.AXEBLOOD

This weapon spawns the special AxeBlood type when hitting something that bleeds. This only has an effect for hitscan and melee weapons.

• WEAPON.NOALERT

Does not alert nearby monsters when being fired.

• WEAPON.AMMO_OPTIONAL

Tells the engine that this weapon doesn't require ammo to work.

• WEAPON.ALT_AMMO_OPTIONAL

The same for the alternate attack.

• WEAPON.AMMO_CHECKBOTH

The weapon can be selected if either the primary or the alternate fire have enough ammo. Both weapon properties Weapon.AmmoUse1 and Weapon.AmmoUse2 must have a positive value for this flag to work correctly.

• WEAPON.PRIMARY_USES_BOTH

The primary attack uses both ammo types.

• WEAPON.ALT_USES_BOTH

Like WEAPON.PRIMARY_USES_BOTH, makes the AltFire (secondary) attack use both ammo types.

• WEAPON.WIMPY_WEAPON

A small weapon with limited capabilities. If ammo for something better gets picked up the game will automatically switch weapons unless the weapon to switch to has the NOAUTOSWITCHTO flag set.

• WEAPON.POWERED_UP

This is a powered up weapon. Powered up weapons cannot exist by themselves. They always are linked to a normal weapon via the weapon.sisterweapon property and are only activated by using Heretic's Tome of Power or another artifact based on PowerWeaponLevel2.

• WEAPON.STAFF2_KICKBACK

Uses the special kickback formula of Heretic's powered up staff. Unlike normal kickback this is a fixed thrust value.

• WEAPON.EXPLOSIVE

Signifies to bots that the weapon fires explosive projectiles.

• WEAPON.MELEEWEAPON

Signifies to bots, and to monsters with the AVOIDMELEE flag, that the weapon is a melee weapon.

• WEAPON.BFG

Signifies to bots that the weapon causes a lot of damage.

• WEAPON.CHEATNOTWEAPON

Weapon is not given by the 'give weapons' cheat.

• WEAPON.NO_AUTO_SWITCH

When the player picks this weapon up, they will never automatically switch to it.

• WEAPON.NOAUTOSWITCHTO

A weapon with this flag set cannot be switched to automatically upon obtaining ammo for it. Typically, if the player had run out of ammo for a weapon, and the weapon that was automatically switched to as a result is a weak weapon, obtaining ammo for the other weapon automatically switches away from the weak weapon and back to it, provided the player had not manually switched weapons in the interim, and the other weapon has a higher selection priority than the weak one.

• WEAPON.NOAUTOAIM

A weapon with that flag will not adjust the aim of an attack, no matter the player's autoaim settings. This is intended to be used only for projectiles affected by gravity, such as grenades, where the player will usually want to aim higher than in a straight line, though it does also affect hitscan and railgun attacks.

• WEAPON.NODEATHDESELECT

The weapon will not jump to the deselect state when the player dies.

• WEAPON.NODEATHINPUT

The weapon cannot act on any input if the player is dead.
