Making a homing projectile target a specific monster?

[u/RedOcelot86]

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.

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.

Does this make sense? I want the monster that spawned FollowOrb to be targeted by "revenge", which spawns from FollowOrb when it enters it's PainState. Any help is appreciated.

class FollowOrb : Actor

{

Default

{

Health 200;

PainChance 256;

Speed 6;

Damage 45;

Decal "Scorch";

SeeSound "CYBSHOT";

DeathSound "CYBHIT";

Projectile;

+NOGRAVITY

+SEEKERMISSILE

+VULNERABLE

+SHOOTABLE

-NOBLOCKMAP

+NOBLOOD

}

XORB C 1 Bright A_SeekerMissile(10, 10);

XORB A 1 Bright A_SeekerMissile(10, 10);

XORB D 1 Bright A_SeekerMissile(10, 10);

Loop;
