For placing the thing on the map, an integer field called '''doomednum''' must be specified. For forward compatibility it has to be greater than or equal to 20000 or in the 3000-3999 range. Due to how binary WAD files format their THINGS lumps, '''doomednum''' values have to be less than 32767, though textmode representations such as [[ExtraData]] or UDMF solve this limit. | For placing the thing on the map, an integer field called '''doomednum''' must be specified.
