This list of codepointers is a list of all the action routines which can be used in EDF frames. They are common for all games, so for example Heretic codepointers can be used in Doom.

You can specify the codepointers with or without their internal A_ prefix, even inside DECORATE state syntax. For simplicity, they will be referred in this wiki without the prefix.

Note that some codepointers, inherited from MBF, use the misc1 and misc2 frame properties, instead of the more general args list. Side effects aside, this also means that they will not be usable in the DECORATE syntax, but they all have DECORATE-compatible equivalents.

IMPORTANT: Do not provide more nonzero arguments to the codepointers than specified in the reference. Doing so may break forward compatibility with versions of Eternity that implement new functionality to codepointers.

Simple movement

These operations perform simple effects on thing's direction, position or velocity. The available codepointers are:

  • Face: face a specified angle
  • Stop: set velocity to 0
  • Turn: turn around a specified angle

Explosions and flames

DOOM 2 Final boss

Explosions

Homing projectiles

Others

  • Fire: stick on the face of attacker's target, like the vile fire

Heretic specific

AI

  • AlertMonsters: shout so other monsters chase the player
  • Chase: pursue a target and check for attack
  • CPosRefire: go to seestate if target is out of sight
  • FaceTarget: turn to target, look around it if it's partly invisible
  • GenRefire: customizable refire control
  • KeepChasing: pursue target without attacking
  • Look: stand in guard, looking for targets
  • RandomWalk: random wandering for inactive enemies
  • Sor1Chase: d'sparil mount specific chase
  • Sor1Pain: d'sparil mount specific twitch. Calls Pain.
  • SpidRefire: like CPosRefire, slightly modified
  • VileChase: same as Chase, but resurrecting encountered cadavers

Original Doom

Heretic

Alterations

  • BossDeath: special monster death functions (such as Baron death in E1M8)
  • BrainDie: exits the level
  • CasingThrust: movement for ejected casing
  • Die: causes suicide
  • FadeIn: increments alpha
  • FadeOut: decrements alpha, DOESN'T destroy the thing
  • Fall: remove SOLID flag (used on dying monsters)
  • HideThing: Sets DONTDRAW flag on an object
  • KeenDie: open 666-tagged doors on death of all like-named monsters
  • KillChildren: destroy all summoned things
  • LineEffect: activate a tag using a special
  • PainNukeSpec
  • RestoreArtifact: Adds the SPECIAL flag back to an object, sets the object back into its spawnstate, and plays the object's seesound.
  • RestoreSpecialThing1: Removes the DONTDRAW flag from an object. If the object defines the itemrespawnat property, it will at this time be moved to a random spot if any such spots exist on the map (otherwise the item will remain where it spawned originally). The item will play its seesound.
  • RestoreSpecialThing2: Adds the SPECIAL flag back to an object and sets the object back into its spawnstate.
  • SetFlags: alter flags
  • SetTranslucent: modify alpha amount; setup additiveness or fuzziness
  • ShowMessage: display text message
  • Spawn: create another object on top of this one
  • SteamSpawn: create steam effects
  • UnHideThing: Unsets DONTDRAW flag on an object
  • UnSetFlags: alter flags
