Sprite Thing Type

[hawkwind2]

If you open up Doom.wad or Doom2.wad (both v1.9) using either xwe or wintex and look under sprites you will find an entry SMT2A0. It looks like a grey stalagmite. I cannot find the thing number for this sprite anywhere.

So my questions are ...does there exist a thing number for this sprite and if not, can a thing number be given it and how ?

EDIT : Googled this http://cres1.lancs.ac.uk/~esasb1/doom/uds/ap3.html but it still doesn't answer my own question

The sprite is there, but no references are made to it. Sorry, the only way to use it would be to use a dehacked patch that changes the sprite of one decoration to said sprite. Or... you could export the graphic and import it to replace another sprite, which might be easier for you.

If anyone gets a pic of what that sprite is, post it here thats most curious.

I have made a ded and a dehacked patch which utilises this sprite - SMT2A0 - without changing any other sprite ... :)

Thing {
ID = "STALAGMITE";
Name = "Grey Stalagmite";
DoomEd number = 90;
Spawn state = "STALAG";
See state = "NULL";
Pain state = "NULL";
Melee state = "NULL";
Missile state = "NULL";
Death state = "NULL";
Xdeath state = "NULL";
Raise state = "NULL";
See sound = "None";
Attack sound = "None";
Pain sound = "None";
Death sound = "None";

Reaction time = 8;
Spawn health = 1000;
Radius = 16;
Height = 40;
Mass = 100;

}

... as you can see I used doom thing number 90 for, AFAIK number 90 is not used by any port.

... enjoy. :)
