Usage
Does the damage only when the function is called, and damages everything in the tagged sector.
Damage Types
Currently, the following damage types can be used with this function:
- "" (Generic damage)
- "Fire"
- "Ice"
- "Disintegrate"
It has also been tested with some of the internal named damage types, such as "Slime" (nukage); indeed, any of the built-in names defined in the source code file namedef.h under "Damage Types" should work. The list currently includes: None (the internal name for generic damage, as in "no special reason"), Fire, Ice, Disintegrate, Drowning, Slime (nukage), Crush, Telefrag, Falling, Suicide, Exit (leaving a multiplayer game when disallowed), Railgun, Poison (only affects players), Electric, BFGSplash, DrainLife (like Strife's Sigil), Massacre (the cheat), Melee, InstantDeath (Strife's "instant death" sector type) and Extreme (causes extreme death).
Flags
The following flags are supported for this function and can be combined using the logical or operator | :
- DAMAGE_PLAYERS
- Players in the sector are damaged.
- DAMAGE_NONPLAYERS
- Shootable non-players in the sector are damaged.
- DAMAGE_IN_AIR
- Damage actors in the air as well as those on the ground or in the water.
- DAMAGE_SUBCLASSES_PROTECT
- If an actor is carrying an item derived from the specified protection item, they will be immune to damage. Otherwise, they are only offered protection if they have that exact kind of item.
At a minimum, you must specify DAMAGE_PLAYERS and/or DAMAGE_NONPLAYERS, or nothing will actually receive damage.
