Works for me. Can you post a test wad?

Here's a test wad I made.

Alright, I re-read what Graf Zahl told me and what the exact issue is is that Keen works fine, but you can no longer transfer his code pointer to an enemy.

That being so I was looking for an ACS based solution, but now that I'm typing this, I have one other trick with Bex that I'd like to try out. I just though, if I simply lend one of the enemy's action frames to Keen, thus keeping Keen as Keen, Death Frame and all, then everything should transfer and work, the only down side then will be that I can only have one enemy type that carries the Keen Code Pointer which kind of goes against my master plan.

 Oh well, if I can just have one Keen that walks, attacks, and has an association with Tag 666, then I'll get by, but having the ability to use ACS in relation to any enemy on any level would rock. Odamex is really awesome till it comes to working with weapons and enemies, then it's like 1999 all over again, still yet, I'm having fun trying to make Bex do neat things, I just wish it wasn't broken. :)

I know, he's kinda creepy, ever since that one time he tried to lure me into an unmarked van with candy, I've been leery. :)

I don't blame him, it seems to me that a huge chunk of the DOOM community isn't totally clear as to what all Odamex offers and does not offer. I know there is info in the FEATURES link on this page, but even that is kind of vague if you consider what all the engine can pull off, and what you should not expect to be able to pull off, I.E. many of the the THING features such as those found (don't mean to sound like a broken record, but...)Darkest Hour's ACS as well as those mentioned in my other posting below this one.


 Anyhow, I did have some luck with this! See I'm some what of a DOOM in Hexen mode virgin. I have some experience from a few years back when I was playing with GzDOOM, but have since been working with PrBOOM and PrBOOM plus for the most part, so I'm alien to many of ZDOOM's features.
 What I discovered is that now I can TAG THINGS! So I can tag an Imp with a  1, and tell the THING to lift a ceiling. Then I just have to TAG a SECTOR with 1, give it the ground's height, and boom, everything resolved, no ACS needed!

 VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY COOL!!!!! I'm happy!
