Two problems with custom monster

[rebca]

I'm creating a simple custom monster that's just a clone of a cacodemon, but has a different sprite and can't move. I have two problems with the monster:

1. The sprite will drop straight through the ground. If not given a higher Z position, the cacodemon clone will just spawn into the ground. But if I do give it a higher position, it will just fall through.

2. If I give the monster NOGRAVITY so I can actually see it, when the sprite faces to the right the sprite will be offset far to the left.

I'm using GZDoom: Doom 2 (UDMF), and here's my decorate file:

This problem has nothing to do with DECORATE, but with sprite offsets. Select any graphic in SLADE3 and there will be fields for x/y offset values below the preview image. You should set the values such that the graphic would appear properly as a sprite in the game. The "Sprite" preview type makes the in-game appearance visible in SLADE3's preview (the default preview type is "Auto" and it does the same thing as "Sprite" only if it detects that the graphic is not a texture/patch/menu text). Besides editing the offsets manually, SLADE3 allows you to block-select multiple graphics and automatically generate more-or-less proper offsets for all of them.
