Items Help?

I was working on a weapon pack called Blaster's Weapon Pack, but i had a problem, i can't make the items float like most of the games. and i mean float like.... Shadow Mavericks mod for example?

I just want an decorate example of this shit... please?.

I'm not familiar with any of these mods, so I wouldn't know how their items float. What I do know, however, is that you can make things float up and down just like the artifacts from Heretic and Hexen. To do that, you use the FLOATBOB flag.

Well, It may not be exactly that i need, but thanks, I just need a floating item like.... jumping then getting down for some milliseconds and then jumping again.. like that

I think that you must use a combination of A_ChangeFlag + sprite frames, like something as seen on Volacubi monsters.
While I don't know if this works, try also to implement FloatSpeed flag to your items: maybe it's the most easy way to solve your problems.

If you mean an item that lies on the ground normally and then "hops" every so often, then I'm thinking you probably want to try ThrustThingZ . Ensure the item is subject to gravity (it should be normally), make sure the Spawn state loops, then have the item call this once in a while in its Spawn state and that should do it.

I'm not sure I get it. I see ThrustThingZ used for this general kind of thing fairly often; what's the advantage to using A_ChangeVelocity instead of ThrustThingZ to start its upward motion? The description on the wiki doesn't give me any obvious answers as to why; it just looks like the former has more parameters to fill in than the latter.

I go for the ThrustThing stuff. I forgot that useful property, expecially if we had to make such jumpin' thing.

A_ChangeVelocity is a new function that was put in to replace things like ThrustThingZ with a more flexible alternative. Because of that, ThrustThingZ is less likely to have continued support since there's a better, newer way to do what it does.
