Can't make a melee weapon pushback enemies

[ReaperAA]

Hi people. In gzdoom, I was trying to modify cleric's mace weapon from Hexen in DECORATE by making it push back enemies like the fighter's fists. I tried making use of "Weapon.pushback" but it doesn't seem to have any effect regardless of the value assigned to it.

 

I modified mace by making a new actor called "CWeapMaceNew" that inherits from and replaces original weapon "CWeapMace".

actor CWeapMaceNew : CWeapMace replaces CWeapMace
{
	Weapon.Kickback 9999
	States
	{
		Fire:
			CMCE B 2 Offset(60, 20)
			CMCE B 1 Offset(30, 33)
			CMCE B 2 Offset(8, 45)
			CMCE C 1 Offset(8, 45)
			CMCE D 1 Offset(8, 45)
			CMCE E 1 Offset(8, 45)
			CMCE E 1 Offset(-11, 58) A_CustomPunch (random(45,55), 1, 0, "HammerPuff", 144, 0)
			CMCE F 1 Offset(8, 45)
			CMCE F 2 Offset(-8, 74)
			CMCE F 1 Offset(-20, 96)
			CMCE F 6 Offset(-33, 160)
			CMCE A 2 Offset(8, 75) A_ReFire
			CMCE A 1 Offset(8, 65)
			CMCE A 2 Offset(8, 60)
			CMCE A 1 Offset(8, 55)
			CMCE A 2 Offset(8, 50)
			CMCE A 1 Offset(8, 45)
			Goto Ready
	}
}

 

What is wrong with this?

 

And before u ask. I had also provided this new weapon to cleric by adding following code in DECORATE

Actor ClericPlayerNew : ClericPlayer replaces ClericPlayer
{
	Player.WeaponSlot 1, CWeapMaceNew
	Player.WeaponSlot 2, CWeapStaff
	Player.WeaponSlot 3, CWeapFlame
	Player.WeaponSlot 4, CWeapWraithverge
	Player.StartItem "CWeapMaceNew"
}

You have created the weapon and the class, but are you playing as the new class?  You can't use "replaces" with player classes.

Forgot to mention that I have also done that. Other edited weapons are working fine tho (even the increased damage of mace is working fine) and only the kickback thing is not working.

I don't know why Kickback is not working, but maybe you can fake it with A_RaduisThrust.

Thanks. By using it, I managed to get close to the desired kickback effect I needed.

 

For those wondering, I added this line after the line that contains "A_CustomPunch" in code provided at OP:

CMCE E 0 Offset(-11, 58) A_RadiusThrust(5000, 64, RTF_NOIMPACTDAMAGE)

I would recommend finding a different solution than A_CustomPunch. The melee attack functions for Hexen's weapons actually perform hitscan checks in a 45 degree cone around the player, unlike A_CustomPunch which (I believe) only fires one hitscan check straight ahead. So the results don't feel the same.
