Custom character ability problem

hey, I was trying to make a custom character ability using the brak missile as a thok item, but whenever I thok, it destroys the missile, even if I set ability2 to not 0. how do I fix this? also for the ability, I would like for the missile to not fly off after let go of, but i would at least like for it to work first.

also, if i posted this thread in the wrong forum, I'm sorry. I'm still new to the message boards AND wad making (I only started on character wads a few days ago)

I noticed there was a wad that has already accomplished this (minus the missle not flying off when you let go), but when i put my speed stats on the S_SKIN 1 of that wad, it failed to work again. PLEASE HELP!

Brak missle thok that works: http://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui...&attid=0.1&disp=safe&realattid=f_h3p5azvp0&zw

My wad that I want to to be able to use missle thok ability (currently its in progress, no real sprites have been added yet, only speed values and etc.)(it has swim ability right now cause thats what it was before I tried to make the custom ability): http://www.mediafire.com/?xjicahs8l2mycal

The brak eggman missile can't be directly spawned by the player. You need to SOC an object for the player to spawn that will then fire it instead.

Also, neither of those links work.

Oh really? Ok ill see if I can fix the links tomorrow (i have to go to bed right now), and I'll see if I can figure out how to make it. Now, um ... Is the object i need a control object? (sorry if its a stupid question, again: veteran player & newbie wad maker=me)
