Classes: SpecialSpot

 →BossSpot
 →BossTarget
 →MaceSpawner

The base class used for special map points that must be part of a collection where a single element can be chosen randomly. The Icon of Sin in Doom II, D'Sparil and the firemace in Heretic all use this in different ways.

• The Icon of Sin regularly spits boss cubes at a randomly-chosen BossTarget.
• D'Sparil, once his mount is dead, will often teleport to a randomly-chosen BossSpot. The more wounded he is, the more likely he'll decide to teleport.
• Only one firemace can be present in a level, so it will appear at a randomly-chosen MaceSpawner. Except in deathmatch, the mace only has a 25% chance of appearing at all.
