A_Metal
From DoomWiki.org
A_Metal is a code pointer used in the normal animation for the cyberdemon and spiderdemon.
A_Metal is a wrapper around A_Chase that also plays the sound effect DSMETAL. It allows the normal monster chase AI to run while adding sound effects for the boss monsters' footsteps.
Uses[edit]
The A_Metal code pointer appears in the following states in Doom's state table:
| Frame number | Doom internal name | Use |

| 611 | S_SPID_RUN9 | normal animation for the spiderdemon |
| 682 | S_CYBER_RUN7 | normal animation for the cyberdemon |
Example[edit]
The following is an example of how to set the A_Metal code pointer in a DeHackEd file:
Pointer 21 (Frame 34) Codep Frame = 682
Or using BEX syntax:
