Making giant demons

[Bushpig2dope]

Hey everyone, first port here so please don't rip me to shreds

Anyway, I was curious. I want to make a funny gag boss in my WAD, being a huge zombieguy. I'm just having trouble figuring out how to do this, as replacing the sprites would make all my regular zombieguys massive too. Help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

If your wad is specifically for ZDoom-based ports, define the monster in DECORATE, possibly directly inheriting from Zombieman, but giving it greater Width and Height (to upscale his hitbox) and Scale (to upscale his sprites).

Is this what I should be looking at for scale? If so, I'm not sure I follow what its saying. Would you be able to do an expample of setting scale I could use as reference?

Cheers

My idea was that you'd make a DECORATE with content like this:

actor GiantZombieman : Zombieman 12345 {
  Width 80
  Height 224
  Scale 4.0
}

And possibly other properties, flags or states changed. Then placing a thing with editor number 12345 into your map in a map editor would spawn GiantZombieman in the game.

Yeah man. Cheers so much for that! Life saver.

Love ya ;)

There goes half an hour of resizing sprites for a new enemy
