WhirlwindSeek is a special homing maintenance pointer for whirlwinds. | |||

*It lowers the 0 counter by 3. When it reaches negative, it will stop the calling object's movement, make it enter its death state and remove its '''MISSILE''' flag. Algorithm will be exited. | *It lowers the 0 counter by 3. When it reaches negative, it will stop the calling object's movement, make it enter its death state and remove its '''MISSILE''' flag.

*Then, it lowers the 1 counter by 3. When it reaches negative, it will reset the 1 counter to random(58,89) and play the ht_hedat3 sound. Execution continues. | *Then, it lowers the 1 counter by 3.

*If the pursued target has nonnegative health and is not a '''GHOST''', it will call '''HticTracer'''(10,30), possibly homing on it if '''SEEKERMISSILE''' is set and is spawned from a compatible codepointer. Otherwise, it will attempt to follow another target if the spawning object (e.g. the iron lich) has found another. | *If the pursued target has nonnegative health and is not a '''GHOST''', it will call '''HticTracer'''(10,30), possibly homing on it if '''SEEKERMISSILE''' is set and is spawned from a compatible codepointer.
