Creating a projectile

In this tutorial, we will look at the projectile we made during creating a monster in greater detail.

Like the prior tutorial, we want to import the entries from SS_START to SS_END from the aracnorb from the Realm667 bestiary by James Paddock (Jimmy).

{
   basictype Seeker // This uses a predefined set of flags for this object. basictype FlyingMonster is equivalent
                    // to setting cflags as NOBLOCKMAP | NOGRAVITY | DROPOFF | MISSILE | NOCROSS | SEEKERMISSILE.

   addflags TRANSLUCENT|SPACMISSILE  // This adds the flags so that the projectile is translucent and can activate
                                     // generalised linedefs marked with the MISSILE special activation flag
   States
   @"
   Spawn:
      ACNF AABB 1 Bright A_GenTracer // This causes the projectile to trace its target.
      Loop
   Death:

      Stop
