Custom Obstacle not displaying properly

I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!

All I had to do was to change

States

{

Spawn:

DTRE A 0

Stop

}

}

to

States

{

Spawn:

DTRE A -1

Stop

}

}

Not relay sure why changing the rotation from 0 to -1 was the solution but im not going to look this gift horse in the mouth!

Thanks for the help y'all!

The sprite has to be named TREDA0.png (TRED is the sprite, A is the frame, 0 is the rotation)

Yes this, and also the folder it is in needs to be named "Sprites" for it to be registered as a sprite.

And also TRED is already a name of sprite for the red torch, so it is probably better to give it different name, otherwise existing red torches will flicker between the tree sprite (1 frame) and original torch sprites (3 frames).

ahhhhhhh! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.

I did what was suggested but now there is a new problem. the tree appears in UDB when I'm editing but it doesn't when I play test.

Offsets maybe? Try selecting the tree sprite in SLADE and clicking the "modify offsets" button at the bottom of the screen, use automatic offsets for monster.

No luck. Maybe because its a Graphic (DOOM) instead of a Graphic (PNG)?

Edit: it was not.

That's not the rotation, that's the frame duration. You don't specify the rotation in the state definitions, it's chosen based on the angle you're viewing the sprite at. (rotation 0 means it looks the same from all directions though.)

For duration, 0 means display for 0 frames, which means never show up. -1 on the other hand means infinite duration.

Glad you got it fixed!
