WAD crashing on gzdoom (3000 enemies in 1 second)

[riki2321]

example, when i made an enemy that shouts allahu akbar and shoots missiles which bounce, when that enemy is killed, it clones into 6 mini versions of him. which when touched exploded. when i was in map02 (average enemies = 250) the enemies in 1 second went to 3855 by no reason. any one guys know why this happens? and when the enemy that duplicates dies, explodes. making its 6 parts sometimes explode making the game crash.

im sorry if you didnt understand

tl;dr = an enemy that explodes duplicates into 6 mini versions of him, when the enemy explodes, sometimes the mini versions explode making the game crash.

how to fix the crash???

First off, I'm not sure why you're using A_CustomMissile to spawn mini romeros that apparently are not intended to be projectiles. Secondly I count 9 mini romeros being spawned, and then each of those spawns 8 explosions, for a total of 72 new objects being spawned in a short time. Hmm I wonder how this could possibly add up??

A_CustomMissile, what should i replace it with?. Oh, i putted 3 romeros now and there's no crash, What do i replace that with?

I'm not much of a ZDoom scripter but approx. 10 seconds of searching got me to http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_SpawnItem or http://zdoom.org/wiki/A_SpawnItemEx which looks like the right one maybe?
