How to change the Icon of Sin's Enemy drops and Rates.

[fdai]

Hello!

 

Recently, I have been working on a Doom WAD, and want to change the cube that the Icon of Sin drops so that it drops different items and drops them at different rates in DECORATE. I have used the ZDoom wiki to help but I don't know what to change so it will stop throwing this error at me "Class does not define any animation frames
". If you know how to fix this please tell me, and even if you don't and still want to help, speculate in the comments.

Heres the page that covers most of that information

 

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:BossEye

 

It should be as easy as defining your monster by DropItem and replaces the Bosseye with your own if Im reading it correctly.

Like I said before it keeps on giving me this error "Class does not define any animation frames". Am I doing anything wrong? 

 

CODE

 

class{ ICantBelieveItsNotBossEye: BossEye
{
  Default
  {
    DropItem "DoomImp",         255, 50;
    DropItem "Demon",            255, 40;
    DropItem "Spectre",            255, 30;
    DropItem "PainElemental",   255, 10;
    DropItem "Cacodemon",       255, 30;
    DropItem "Archvile",        255,  2;
    DropItem "Revenant",        255, 10;
    DropItem "Arachnotron",     255, 20;
    DropItem "Fatso",           255, 30;
    DropItem "HellKnight",      255, 24;
    DropItem "BaronOfHell",     255, 10;
  }
}
}

Pretty sure that first { after class needs to go, along with one of the } at the end.

It's imperative to look at root issues that may seem simple, but just double-check if sprites you're using are correctly defined in the WAD.

 

Maybe try removing the class keyword because in DECORATE, actors are defined using the actor keyword, not class.

This also, and add a space between the : in ICantBelieveItsNotBossEye: BossEye
 

So, ICantBelieveItsNotBossEye : BossEye

    DropItem "HellKnight",      255, 24;
    DropItem "BaronOfHell",     255, 10;
  }
}
}

This looks like ZScript, rather than DECORATE.

 

...but that's actually correct. You want to be using ZScript to define new stuff, not DECORATE, unless you're targeting Zandronum. Slap it in a ZSCRIPT lump and you're good to go.

Alright, got it to work! 

Thanks Baron T. Mueriach for the help!!!
