A_BrainAwake
From DoomWiki.org
John Romero's head on a stick is the "boss brain" but it is a different thing, the invisible monster spawner, that plays the wakeup sound.
A_BrainAwake is a code pointer used in the normal animation for the monster spawner.
A_BrainAwake is activated when the monster spawner observes the player for the first time. It initializes the internal table of boss targets that are used by A_BrainSpit when firing spawn cubes. Secondly, it plays the DSBOSSIT sound effect, the infamous backmasked message of "To win the game you must kill me, John Romero".
Uses[edit]
The A_BrainAwake code pointer appears in the following states in Doom's state table:
| Frame number | Doom internal name | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 785 | S_BRAINEYESEE | normal animation for the monster spawner |
Example[edit]
The following is an example of how to set the A_BrainAwake code pointer in a DeHackEd file:
Pointer 21 (Frame 34) Codep Frame = 785
Or using BEX syntax:
[CODEPTR] Frame 1234 = BrainAwake
