If it is an energy weapon, then it should leave energy puffs, not bullet puffs. And it should use a different type of ammunition, or none if you're aiming for Doom 2016 accuracy.
The firing frames need to be bright, and the animation could be smoother, without making the fire rate faster.

done

There's a bug with the pickup sprite, it shows up on the HUD, because you didn't close the Flash state properly.
When I said smoother animation, I meant more frames of animation in between. And it still uses the bullet puff even if it leaves a plasma decal.

kay
edit: fixed one problem
but i have two other ones:
- sprite problems (clipping while in anim)
- i don't know whith "BulletPuff" like state i must use

here's code:
Actor HandCannon : Weapon
{
  Obituary "%o was splattered by %k HandCannon"
  AttackSound "weapons/HandCannon"
  Inventory.pickupmessage "Picked up the Hand Cannon"
  Weapon.SelectionOrder 400
  Weapon.SlotNumber 2
  Weapon.kickback 100
  +WEAPON.AMMO_OPTIONAL
  Weapon.ammouse 1
  Decal "PlasmaScorch"
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    HACA P -1
    Loop
  Ready:
    HACA A 2 A_WeaponReady
    Loop
  Deselect:
    HACA A 2 A_Lower
    Loop
  Select:
    HACA A 1 A_Raise
    Loop
  Fire:
    HACA B 4 A_FireBullets(3, 3, 1, 8, "PlasmaBall")
    HACA B 4 A_GunFlash
    HACA C 4
    HACA D 4
    HACA C 4
    HACA A 3
    Goto Ready
  Flash:
    HACA B -1 A_Light0
    Goto Ready
  }
}

The sprite bug is because the flash state needs to end in "goto LightDone", and it can't have -1 tics of duration.
The puff type is A_FireBullets needs to be a valid actor, not just any projectile, like this for example

The rest of the code needs some cleanup:

• The spawn state must end in "stop" if the frame duration is -1
• Ready, Select and Deselect frames should last 1 tic, so they animate faster
• Since this weapon doesn't use ammo, it shouldn't have a "Weapon.ammouse" property

ok
thanks
edit: i guess i messed something in code

Well, can you show us what you typed out the decal property as ? Like did you try passing a number to it instead of a text string ?

And also, GZDoom is on version 4.6.1, so use that instead.

Check the ZDoom wiki to clarify more doubts in the future

here you go
(the 11-th line)
also thanks anyway (i was looking in ZDoom Wiki for some Decorate stuff)
