A_Raise
From DoomWiki.org
A_Raise is a code pointer used in the weapon raise animation for all weapons.
A_Raise moves the Y position of the weapon sprite upwards from the bottom of the screen by a small amount each time it is invoked. Once a threshold has been reached, the weapon is judged to have been raised and animation proceeds to the weapon's "ready state". A_Raise is usually used in a state that is an infinite loop that repeatedly jumps back to itself; the loop terminates when the weapon has finished raising. For this reason it is not possible to fire the weapon until the raise sequence has completed.
Uses[edit]
The A_Raise code pointer appears in the following states in Doom's state table:
| Frame number | Doom internal name | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | S_PUNCHUP | weapon raise animation for the Fists |
| 12 | S_PISTOLUP | weapon raise animation for the Pistol |
| 20 | S_SGUNUP | weapon raise animation for the Shotgun |
| 34 | S_DSGUNUP | weapon raise animation for the Super Shotgun |
| 51 | S_CHAINUP | weapon raise animation for the Chaingun |
| 59 | S_MISSILEUP | weapon raise animation for the Rocket Launcher |
| 70 | S_SAWUP | weapon raise animation for the Chainsaw |

Example[edit]
The following is an example of how to set the A_Raise code pointer in a Dehacked file:
Pointer 22 (Frame 36) Codep Frame = 83
Or using BEX syntax:
[CODEPTR] Frame 1234 = Raise
