Line 1: |
| Defines the type of damage inflicted by a thing. It's useful for implementing such features as damage resistance and immunity (see [[thingtype]] '''damagefactor''' property), as well as providing weapon obituaries in player vs player combat.

| ==Explanation==
| |
| *'''num''': the identifier of the damage type, useful for parameterized specials such as [[DamageThing]] or [[Thing_Damage]].
| |
| *'''obituary''': the text to show when a player is killed by someone or something else using this damage type. If the attacker (usually a monster) using ammunition of this damage type has its dedicated obituary, then that obituary will be used. Otherwise this obituary will be used. If this isn't defined, it will simply write "Player died.".
| |
| *'''obituaryself''': text to show when a player is killed by themselves. If missing, and '''sourceless''' is false, it will just say "Player died.".
| |
| *'''sourceless''': (default false) set it to true if you want the damagetype to belong to sourceless (environmental) attackers.
| |
| *'''absolute.push''', '''absolute.hop''': extra amount to push by damage horizontally and vertically, similar to how the powered Heretic staff does.
| |
|
| |
| ==Default damage types (means of death)==
| |
| There are several built-in damage types, as defined in base/things.edf. They're useful in specials like '''DamageThing''' and '''Thing_Damage''':
| |
| *0: (Unknown). Used internally by several insta-kill situations, such as [[PainShootSkull]] failures, the '''TOUCHY''' flag (which causes the thing to destroy itself) or the massacre cheats. The "vilehit" console command also uses it. Things with the '''dmgspecial''' set to '''MinotaurCharge''' or '''Whirlwind''' also use this. Parameterized special [[Thing_Destroy]] uses it.
| |
| *1: Fist
| |
| *2: Pistol
| |
| *3: Shotgun
| |
| *4: Chaingun
| |
| *5: Rocket
| |
| *6: R_Splash
| |
| *7: Plasma
| |
| *8: BFG
| |
| *9: BFG_Splash. Used by [[BFGSpray]]
| |
| *10: Chainsaw
| |
| *11: SShotgun
| |
| *12: Slime
| |
| *13: Lava
| |
| *14: Crush. Used by crushing ceilings, floors and walls (polyobjects).
| |
| *15: Telefrag. Used by teleport kills.
| |
| *16: Falling. Used by falling damage.
| |
| *17: Suicide. Used by the "kill" console command, but not like the Heretic "iddqd" cheating penalty.
| |
| *18: Barrel
| |
| *19: Splash
| |
| *20: Hit. The following codepointers '''always''' use it:
| |
| **[[BeastAttack]] melee
| |
