Hmmm.
I've been playing with DeHackEd again, and found something
interesting. Up till now I didn't think it was possible for the player
to use homing missiles or the archvile attack. Now, I think there is a
way, although it does have a flaw. It's cheap, but just set the player's
injury Frame to the attack frame of the monster in question (like the
archvile). Then, as soon as the player is shot, the player begins to
flame the offending monster. Fun! Same can be done for Death Frame. I
haven't tried this in deathmatch, but it could be interesting to set the
player's injury frame to the revenant's attack, and let the attacker
beware :). The flaw: right after the attack the player immediately
turns to face due east (0x0000000 BAMS I believe). That could be very
disconcerting for someone trying to draw a bead on the opponent.
Note the more sophisticated user would want to use the code pointers to
achieve the same effect. :)

Maybe you can make it so when you shoot the monster, it turns
into something stationary, then when you shoot it
again....etc... kinda like the moving barrel patch. (just a
thought).
