Custom weapons don't have firing sprites.

[LukeGaming]

Not sure how to phrase what I mean so here's a screenshot:

I made a copy-paste of default pistol with some small changes in zscript and that sprite which shows up when you fire, well, doesn't show up and I can't figure out why. Same goes for every default doom weapon that I copy-pasted into different weapon.

 

Here is the code:

The Flash state, that will let the shooting weapon flash overlay sprites to be shown, is entered when the Fire state gets called, so that should just work.

Since I see that you just added and AltFire state to your weapon, I believe that you're missing the flash when you're using the secondary fire and to fix that you just need to add a AltFlash state (You can just copy and paste the Flash state or even jump from the AltFlash to the normal Flash immeditaly).

Turns out I had to include A_GunFlash, idk why default weapons don't have it but still have flash.

Here's why

Default weapon's functions always call for A_GunFlash

This code does use that sprite (PISFA0), it's in Flash.

Flash:
		PISF A 7 Bright A_Light1;
		Goto LightDone;
		PISF A 7 Bright A_Light1;
		Goto LightDone;

Also, if you are looking to make small changes to the weapons you should be using inheritance. The ZDoom wiki warns of just copying and pasting the existing weapon code.
