About NOBLOODDECALS, you might want to use NOBLOOD instead, it does the same thing as the former flag, but also specifies that the actor isn't anything squishy and organic, which is used by stuff like projectiles, since they check if they hit a non-bleeding actor by checking if it has NOBLOOD.

Koala is right. The NOBLOOD flag eliminates the squishy factor from your monster. I did notice that there were blood splatters in the earlier versions of this dude.

On hit, Cain spawns sparks and then having blood effects on the walls was really strange. Looking really forward to previewing this guy again.

the site has been down for me and alot of ppl the last week or so. in that time did you see any OTHER things you want me to change before i update cain? i want to get him right. think of a list of things.

Okay, I playtested it myself, here are the issues I found.

• The Sounds folder seems to have duplicate sounds with extensions, but SNDINFO uses only the extensionless versions, so one of the two versions should be removed.
• The //$Category editor key is misspelled and so it doesn't work.
• One of the death sprites (CAIDJ0) has a wrong file name which causes it to not work.
• The %o obituary key is capitalized, which makes it not be replaced by the players' name.
• The GrenadeAttack state does not have any Goto, Loop and A_Jump or anything. And it falls through to the pain state. Unless that's intentional behavior.
• I'm not sure why, but it seems like it's pretty rare for cain to use any of his attacks besides shooting his minigun.
• The offsets on his minigun firing sprites need to be fixed to match his non-firing sprite, since currently it looks like he's jumping up and down when firing his minigun.
• For his Missile state, you should add an A_JumpIfCloser call that takes him to his melee state if the target is within melee range. Similar to what A_CustomComboAttack does. That way he also won't only ever do melee attacks if you are unfortunate or stupid enough to be in melee range of him.
• His grenade shouldn't outright be called UACGrenade, not only does it not really make sense (The UAC made Robocain ?), but it will also cause conflicts with the UAC Bot submission the code was taken from. The grenades' spawn height also seems to be incredibly low at only 3 map units, so it should probably be increased to match the position of his grenade launcher. Which would also probably fix the range issue I mentioned below.

These are not problems but more suggestions.

1. If you are not going to add the NoBlood flag so the actor can "bleed" sparks. Then the Sparks blood actor could be given NOGRAVITY so that it doesn't fall like normal blood. (And maybe also play a sound ? I see that there's already one in the files.). Should probably also set Cain's blood color to something like yellow, since the default is blood red.
2. Something something clean formatting.
3. IMO he's very slow, maybe bump his speed up to 8 or 12. He was pretty slow and clunky in the film but not that slow.
4. Maybe make the muzzleflash of his minigun larger, currently it's so small that it's hard to tell he's even shooting.
5. Perhaps make the minigun a bit more accurate ? Currently going like 10 meters away from Cain causes his accuracy to reach stormtrooper levels.
6. The speed of his grenade should be increased a bit, currently it's pretty range is pretty low otherwise, also maybe add a range check with A_JumpIfCloser on the grenade state, so he doesn't fire if the grenade can't directly its' target or bounce at it.
