====type==== Default: No meaningful default value; an Unknown thing will be spawned if not valid. This field specifies the type of object to spawn at the location and angle of ExtraData control objects using this record. This field can accept one of two types of values. The first is a normal thingtype doomednum as specified via [[EDF]] and used by all editors. For example, the DOOM Imp's doomednum is 3001. This field can also accept EDF thingtype mnemonics. EDF thingtype mnemonics must be prefixed with ''thing:'' -- this allows the parser to know it is dealing with a string instead of a number. EDF thingtypes must have a unique doomednum to be specified in an ExtraData mapthing record. If the specified EDF thingtype doesn't exist or has a doomednum of -1, an Unknown object will be spawned instead. See [[Thing types]] for a list of potentially useful types, new to Eternity, to use here. Example: mapthing { type 3001 } // This record specifies an Imp via its doomednum mapthing { type DoomImp } // This record specifies an Imp by its EDF mnemonic
