Editing Creating a pickup (section)

===Armor===
Create a new lump, called EARMOR. Add the following to EDFROOT, on a line after the stdinclude.

 lumpinclude("EARMOR") // A new armor pickup

Now, start editing EARMOR.

 // This defines the thingtype RedArmor as a thing with doomednum 30002. Mobj is currently a dummy value.
 thingtype RedArmor : Mobj, 30002
 {
   flags       SPECIAL // Sets flags for item, which in this case means it's a collectable item.
 
   pickupeffect        // This defines what happens when the item is picked up.
   {
     effects RedArmor   // The actual effects that happen when the item is picked up (can be a comma separated list).
     message "Picked up the HyperArmor!" // The message given when picked up.
     sound   itemup    // The sound made when the item is picked up.
   }
 
   states
   @"
   Spawn:
     RARM A 6
     RARM B 7 bright
     loop
   "@
 }
 
 armoreffect RedArmor
 {
   saveamount  150 // The number the armor % is set to.
   savefactor  2   // The numerator for the damage multiplier fraction (2/n).
   savedivisor 3   // The denominator for the damage multiplier fraction (n/3).
                   // These two properties combine to the player taking 2/3 times the damage they usually would (66%).
 }

Now either type "summon RedArmor" (not case-sensitive) in the console, or place a thing with doomednum 30002 in the map. When you pick it up, it should set your armor to 150. In addition, 66% of damage dealt to you will be absorbed by the armor.
