DECORATE: how to make pain change

[kassianoaguiar]

How do I make the monster scream sometimes when I'm shooting it?
Because in these two scripts in a row - one, which I want him to scream sometimes, he IS ALWAYS SCREAMING and I not want!

[NinthBurn]

I can't exactly tell what's you're trying to do, since you reference "Goto See" before the A_Jump instruction...

{
Pain:
    SSFF A 0 A_Jump(127,4) // 50% chance to jump to the 4th frame
    SSFF A 3 //frame 1
    SSFF H 4 //frame 2
    SSFF A 3 //frame 3
    Goto See //not a frame; skipped
    SSFF A 0 A_Jump(78,2) // < -- frame 4; what is this for???
    SSFF A 0 A_Jump(5,1) // 2% chance to jump to the next frame; in this case it does absolutely nothing
    SSFF A 3
    SSFF I 4 A_Pain
    SSFF A 3
    Goto See
}

If I understand correctly, you want the monster to scream sometimes, but the animation remains the same? If so, I think this could be a potential solution:

I'm going to define a new state:
 

{
Pain:
    SSFF A 0 A_Jump(127,4) //first animation
    SSFF A 3
    SSFF H 4
    SSFF A 3
    Goto See
    //second animation
    SSFF A 0 A_Jump(127,"PainScream")
    SSFF A 3
    SSFF I 4
    SSFF A 3
    Goto See
PainScream:
	SSFF A 3
    SSFF I 4 A_Pain
    SSFF A 3
    Goto See
}

So what is happening here is that there's a 50% chance you will skip the first pain animation; if this happens, there is now a 50% chance that the monster will jump to the "PainScream" state; if this happens, it will play a pain sound, and if it doesn't, it will play the animation without the sound.

You could do something like this which is a bit simpler. 50% chance to jump to silent pain state otherise it falls through to regular pain state.
