Name: Nightmare Imp
Difficulty: Easy

Summon: NImp
Melee: Yes
Distance: Projectile
Type: Demon
Brightmaps: No
Actor modification: No
ACS: No

The Nightmare Imp from Doom 64. Behaves how an Imp behaves on Nightmare, but on
other difficulties. Set your game to Nightmare, you're in for a real treat once
you see a double Nightmare Imp ;).

Code: (whoever did the Imp code for ZDoom, Gothic please add in whoever did it), PGE
Sounds: Id Software (Doom/Doom II), Midway Games (Doom 64)
Sprites: Id Software (Doom/Doom II)
Sprite Edit: Shallow B
Idea Base: Doom 64 Nightmare Imp (no duh)

File Attachment:

File Name: NImp.zip
File Size:210 KB


EDIT: Changed projectile, added DECALDEFs and GLDEFs (kept the Melee the same, since that's how it works in D64)

It's simple but it is done well. It's a good sprite edit. I like it.

Noticed the projectile is missing a decal.

Besides decals, it should have GLDEFS too.
Its attack and melee states should be linked and look like this:

Melee:
Missile:
NTRO EF 8 A_FaceTarget
NTRO G 6 A_CustomComboAttack("NImpBall",32,3*random(1,8),"monster/melee")
Goto See

So if it misses its melee attack it will fire a projectile like other Doom monsters do.
Also, I suggest using different sprites for the projectile to stand out from the Dark Imps. I suggest using these from Freedoom:

Huh, I expected it to leave a scorch mark, like the Imp's fireball (left), are you sure you're ok with this?

I couldn't figure out how to make it black, so yeah. You can change it to black if you know how.
