What is a good thing editor?

[DoomGuy999]

I see all these creations on realm 667 and I wonder how they do it. I also want to know if there is any way to get a baron of hell to have 5 health or something, and change it's height, mass, damage, and health. If there is anything you can suggest it would be appreciated. I already have slade.

Those creations (actors) are for pwads made for GZDoom. They were made with DECORATE or ZSCRIPT and are new actors which are added to a GZDoom format pwad.

That is what DECORATE and/or ZSCRIPT were made for.

Making sprites for a 5 headed monster can be done, it's not easy but is doable. Howver, to control each head is more difficult but could also be done. For an example see Harbinger by LilWhiteMous where each section is controled by a different DECORATE.

 

 

You could also make a multiheaded baron for vanilla DOOM by replacing the sprites with unused sprites and updating the behaviour of the baron with WhackEd4. For an example see ALL_HELL breaks loose for the new sprites and the deh file.

I specifically would like to know the script to change health, damage, height, speed, and mass. Also, wouldn't slade be better for changing sprites?

See https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:BaronOfHell

    make changes here

}

 

the rest is inherited

Would I do this in slade? I think I can do it.

Yes, Slade3 is perfect for something like this.

 

I should have mentioned before that you also need to give the new actor a unique DoomED number, something in the range of 15000 to 30000 is good

 

Actor NewBOH : BaronOfHell 15000

{

    make changes here

}
