Sector specials
From ZDoom Wiki
In DOOM mode, these are the same as the sector types used by BOOM with the following four new specials:
21 Light_Phased
22 LightSequenceStart
23 LightSequenceSpecial1
24 LightSequenceSpecial2
In Hexen mode, the sector specials available are:
1 Light_Phased
2 LightSequenceStart
3 LightSequenceSpecial1
4 LightSequenceSpecial2
These specials deal with phased lighting ("moving lights"). Two different ways to go about doing phased lighting are: automatic, or by-hand. The automatic method is (obviously) more convenient, but the by-hand method is more flexible. Light_Phased is the by-hand special. Place it on a sector, then set the sector's lightlevel to a phase index (0-63). As you place the special on nearby sectors, increment the index for each sector.
Or, to use the LightSequence specials, just place the LightSequenceStart special on a sector. Then, for each additional sector, alternate between LightSequenceSpecial1 & LightSequenceSpecial2. The resulting phased lighting will appear to move toward the sector marked with LightSequenceStart.
For instance, if you wanted phased lighting to flow up a staircase, you could either place Light_Phased on each step, and change the phase index (lightlevel) accordingly. Or, you could place LightSequenceStart on the bottom step (and set that step's lightlevel to something mid-ranged), and then let the game calculate the phase indices for each step by placing the LightSequenceSpecial specials on all other steps. Note that for the LightSequenceSpecial specials to have proper lighting, set their lightlevels to zero, which causes it to use the previous sector's lightlevel. Hence, that "nice value" which was placed on the first step will iterate through all the other steps. If a step's lightlevel is not zero, then that value will filter down to all other steps after it.
26 Stairs_Special1
27 Stairs_Special2
These specials are used by the stair building line specials Stairs_BuildDown, Stairs_BuildUp, Stairs_BuildDownSync, and Stairs_BuildUpSync. The are not used by the Generic_Stairs and Stairs_BuildUpDoom specials, which follow the normal Doom convention for building stairs.
To build stairs using any of the four stair-builders listed above, set the first sector's type to Stairs_Special1. Then alternate between Stairs_Special2 and Stairs_Special1 for the remaining sectors you want in the staircase.

These are the same sector specials as Doom, except that they are numbered beginning at 65 instead of 1.
82 dDamage_LavaWimpy
83 dDamage_LavaHefty
84 dScroll_EastLavaDamage
These are from Heretic. Unlike Doom's damage specials the radiation suit does not protect from damage by these sector types. The damage from these sectors is of type 'fire' so if a player has a burning death sequence it will be used. Furthermore, each time these specials inflict damage a terrain splash will be created.
79 Sector_LowFriction
Lowers the friction in the sector to create icy terrain.
196 Sector_Heal
Heals the player slowly up to 100 health points.

48 Wind south strong
49 Wind west weak
50 Wind west medium
51 Wind west strong
These are Heretic's wind specials. They affect the player and anything that has the WINDTHRUST flag set. Most of Heretic's projectiles are affected by wind.

222 Scroll_SouthWest_Slow
223 Scroll_SouthWest_Medium
224 Scroll_SouthWest_Fast
These specials scroll the sector's floor in the diraction and speed indicated and also carry anything on it in the same direction. These are intended mainly for compatibility with Hexen levels because they also exhibit the odd Hexen behavior of carrying things faster than they scroll the floor.
105 sDamage_Hellslime
116 sDamage_SuperHellslime
Strife's sector specials. These damage types don't start hurting the player immediately. Instead they accumulate a certain amount of 'poisoning' and when a certain threshold is reached they start hurting the player. Such damage infliction does not stop when the player leaves the sector. It will continue a little longer.
115 Damage_InstantDeath
Kills the player instantly.
118 Scroll_StrifeCurrent
Carries the player in a direction determined by the sector's tag. There are better means to achieve this so use of this special in new maps is not recommended.
197 Light_OutdoorLightning
198 Light_IndoorLightning1
199 Light_IndoorLightning2
Set lightning properties for sectors without a sky ceiling
87 Sector_Outside
Set the sector to always use outside fog regardless of ceiling texture.
200 Sky2
If this sector contains a sky the secondary sky will be used.
