Is it possible to make a projectile that inherits from the Spawn Cube but make it so it spawns different monsters instead?(like Heretic monsters for example?)

Yes, and if you can't work it out yourself you really need some help

You can? That's news to me. You can make a new actor and use A_SpawnItem but not in herit and change directly.

*Goes ahead with a Spawn Cube spawning Heretic and MRW monsters*

You can't replicate the spawn cube. The reason for this is that A_SpawnFly is both responsible for checking the destination spot and spawning the monsters. If these were different code pointers you could do something about it - but they aren't.

Why not just splitting this hardcoded thing up into two functions?

Easy. You'll break DeHackEd patches.

Well, I wouldn't inherit the code if I were to do it myself. I think I just read the title when I replied. But all of you should know what to do to make something that replicates the behaviour for any monster, especially if I've got an idea I think would work

You can't do it without this code pointer. It's the only means to get the cube to its destination.

Why not just change the Death Frame? *hides*

Because it won't work.

So lemme get this straight:
1. you can make a custom actor using the actions that the spawn cube uses
2. you can't inherit directly from the Spawn Cube

Am I right?

Of course not.
