Gargoyles suffer pain when hitting each other about gzdoom HOT 8 CLOSED

Are you sure about that? I just analyzed the original P_DamageMobj from Heretic and cannot find anything in there that would prevent setting the pain state if called with zero damage.

So, the current behavior of suffering pain is an original Heretic behavior? If that's the case, then this can be closed.

Sorry but this is not original behavior.

I checked in DOS Heretic 1.3 and Chocolate Heretic and there was no IMPPAI sound during gargoyles collisions.
Using a000b57 I hear this sound pretty clearly. Compatibility settings have no influence on this.

Then let's unclose this.

Played a bit with Choco in debugger. P_DamageMobj() is called but returns right from here. It's definitely

Shouldn't happen

I was wrong. P_DamageMobj() is never called for gargoyle target if it was hit by other gargoyle. It was various decorations or ammo.

I guess it's because of this condition.

Interesting. That does abort the function before the skullfly check happens, and therefore prevents the collision from doing any damage. Doesn't this mean that gargoyles also cannot hurt disciples?

from gzdoom.

They have damage 0, so they never hurt anything. Wow, what a pile of garbage...

Original behavior has been restored. Which makes the flag essentially broken again. But considering its overall lack of usefulness that shouldn't matter.
