Help with decorate again

[retrogamer97]

Is there a way to shoot a projectile that makes enemies walk slower for x seconds? Better yet point me to an example or mod that has it.

Don't know about Decorate but in Zscript it should be possible:

You can slow down a player with ease, but you cannot with monsters unfortunately, unless with some acs trickery, adding a new state to every single monster and a new damage type.

I haven't found anything else to these days (I tried to do something similar myself a while ago).

 

The only easier trick that comes to my mind that you could use is to create a projectile with the FORCEPAIN flag on and make this projectile hit the monster multiple times (perhaps making it a RIPPER and SEEKER missile). It won't slow the monster, but it will kind of "stun" him for how much time you like.

I was about to suggest this, though I don't think you would need ACS (unless I'm not understanding the A_SetSpeed action function). Yes you would have to set it up individually for every monster, but most of it's just copy-pasting the same lines of codes.

Might need to look into zscript for this.

I thought about that because via acs you can easily make the slowing temporary, without having to do the thing for every monster
