*'''misc2''': chance out of 256 to execute the jump
*'''misc2''': chance out of 256 to execute the jump


This codepointer causes the current frame to jump ''instantly'' to another frame (set by '''misc1''') if chance '''misc2'''/256 is passed. Unlike the similar ZDoom "A_Jump" function, the order of parameters is reversed, and the target frame is set absolutely, not in relation to current frame. For example:
This codepointer causes the current frame to jump ''instantly'' to another frame (set by '''misc1''') if chance '''misc2'''/256 is passed. Otherwise, it will wait the normal amount of '''tics''' before going to '''nextframe'''.

    # in practice, tics 0 is used, so that all durations are consistent with each other
}
This codepointer was introduced by the [[MBF]] port.

Arguments:

  • misc1: frame mnemonic or frame dehacked number to jump to
  • misc2: chance out of 256 to execute the jump

This codepointer causes the current frame to jump instantly to another frame (set by misc1) if chance misc2/256 is passed. Otherwise, it will wait the normal amount of tics before going to nextframe.
