Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

The Mesh Armor looks like a traditional chainmail cuirass, with a leather belt and plate pauldrons.

It increases a Hexen player class's Armor Class by a certain amount:

• +5 for Baratus the Fighter
• +2 for Parias the Cleric
• +1 for Daedolon the Mage

In Hexen, it is designed to be used with the Amulet of Warding, Falcon Shield and Platinum Helm, but if imported in another game only one piece of Hexen Armor can be used at a time.

In Hexen.wad, the sprite is actually named ARM1A0 and is renamed at load-time by ZDoom.
