A_FirePlasma

A_FirePlasma is the code pointer that spawns plasma balls as part of the plasma rifle's firing animation.

A_FirePlasma is a code pointer used in the attack animation for the plasma gun.

Uses

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

Frame number	Doom internal name	Use
77	S_PLASMA1	attack animation for the plasma gun

Example

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

Pointer 21 (Frame 34)
Codep Frame = 77

Or using BEX syntax:

[CODEPTR]
Frame 1234 = FirePlasma

Code structure

A_FirePlasma uses the P_SpawnPlayerMissile function and so its code structure is largely identical to that of A_FireMissile.
