A_GunFlashTo

A_GunFlashTo(state, nothirdperson) is a generic weapon muzzle flash function that is part of the MBF21 specification. It has two parameters, using the values provided in the "Args1" and "Args2" fields as arguments. Unlike Doom's native A_GunFlash, this function allows the use of more than one muzzle flash sequence per weapon.

The first argument specifies the state number of the (first) muzzle flash sprite to be displayed, while the second argument takes a boolean value and if non-zero, will not switch the third-person player sprite to its muzzle flash sprite during firing.

Example

The following is an example of how to set the A_GunFlashTo code pointer in a DeHackEd file using BEX syntax:

Frame 1234
Next frame = 1235
Args1 = 1236
Args2 = 0

[CODEPTR]
FRAME 1234 = GunFlashTo

Or using DECOHack syntax:

state 1234 
{
 TNT1 A 0 A_GunFlashTo(1236, 0)
 goto 1235
}
