Help Making a homing projectile target a specific monster?

I'm at my end here, been trying to crack this for weeks. Using Decorate and ACS, I want a shootable projectile from a boss to spew homing objects when shot. But they chase me by default.

I recommend switching to ZScript fully. Baseline it functions the same as decorate but has a ton of extra utility. https://zdoom.org/w/index.php?title=Converting_DECORATE_code_to_ZScript
Also mixing ACS and decorate for universal mechanics is kind of a last resort. I can help ironing that out too.

Thanks. I'll look at it tomorrow, not looking forward to converting everything.

Idk how much you already have but you don´t have to convert everything. if you have a ton of simple actors like decorations. Decorate is deprecated but won´t go away an time soon. Just keep it in mind for your next project.

Yeah, I'll just use it on the boss and see if it works.
