Two ceiling creature lamps, both offering a standard and short length. Small embers occasionally appear from the lamps.

It's been a long time since I submitted something here. Hope I did everything right!

Looks good to me! I always enjoy seeing what you come up with. You know what it could use, though? GLDefs. For the lamps, and maybe small ones for the embers too.

Sorry for the late reply!

I have never worked with GLDEFS before, but I'll see what I can do! I will read up on it and look at some examples and I am sure I can whip something up.

I also have a few more submissions coming later, after I get my "weekly" update out for my mod. They were in the Heretic Prop Pack I was working on that I am sure I will never finish, so better to let them see use than to have them sit and collect dust.

This is pretty awesome, I also think it would perfectly fit into a Heretic themed map

Agreed with Torm and MagicWazard, these are nice.

Wouldn't it be better if these were to spawn from the ceiling , so that you don't bother with adjusting their height in the map editor?

My apologies for the super late work on this. I believe I have finished this submission, however!

-Added +SPAWNCEILING flag.

I originally left out flags of this sort, as a 'just in case' thing, but in the end, I couldn't think of any practical situations where a user would need to position the prop in an area other than the ceiling.

-Added GLDEFS

Hopefully I did these right. You know how long this took?! 2 hours and 42 minutes! It was my first time using GLDEFS, but I believe I have a basic understanding of it now, meaning future submissions that benefit from this shouldn't take as long.

Like I said before, looks good to me! I do note that the lamps don't have any apparent collision, in the event they are placed low enough for a player/monster to come in contact with them. Same with the Demon Lamp.

Both submissions now have collision! I gave them a radius of 20, which was the same for some of the vanilla Heretic hanging props, while the height was kept the same in order for +SPAWNCEILING to work properly.

These seem pretty pretty solid now.
