If I were you, I would add an A_RandomJump or A_Jump state in the first death state to give the actor a probability of making a random alternative Death animation.

 

I see you're using Decorate, so try with A_Jump, it is even better because you can choose how likely is the monster to show that alt death animation, avoiding ambiguous issues with the animation, so it just feels natural, and random.

How do I do that? Like as in where do I put it?

As I've said, in the first death state.

 

First, change second death state into death2 at least, that will make this easier.

 

Then, before the state TROO I 8, add another one exactly the same, but with 0 ticks. Then add A_RandomJump, or A_Jump.

 

Personally, I have never used A_Jump, but the A_RandomJump have some parameters that allow me to put Death2 state as the state to jump, and then, the probability.

 

I recommend you using A_Jump, so that's your job, as I don't understand how Jump works.

That worked! Thanks for the help!
