The baron on the left is about to call A_BruisAttack to spawn a fireball

A_BruisAttack is a code pointer used in the melee attack animation for the Hell knight and baron of Hell.

The name A_BruisAttack refers to the name used for the baron during Doom's development, the "bruiser brothers" (since two barons appear as the episode 1 bosses).

Uses

The A_BruisAttack code pointer appears in the following states in Doom's state table:

Frame number	Doom internal name	Use
539	S_BOSS_ATK3	melee attack animation for the baron of Hell
568	S_BOS2_ATK3	melee attack animation for the Hell knight

Example

The following is an example of how to set the A_BruisAttack code pointer in a DeHackEd file:

Pointer 21 (Frame 34)
Codep Frame = 568

Or using BEX syntax:

[CODEPTR]
Frame 1234 = BruisAttack
