He just said he approved of the idea, not that he approved it being added to the engine.

No need for an engine change.

Forget it. Something like this is not part of the engine. Why should anyone invest work in something that can already be done with ease?

Randomized items (DECORATE function)

Now that it's possible to add non-replacing decorations and enemies (and soon weapons), I'm sure there are many people clamouring to use such things in old levels.

Obviously they could edit levels and manually add and replace things themselves, but there is an alternative solution, one which would allow new items to appear in *any* level with no effort require on the part of the player: a new DECORATE function.

Examples of usage:

TechLamp
(other functions)
Random TechLampRed TechLampGreen

ZombieMan
(other functions)
Random ZombieTwoPistols ZombieFists ZombieCrawl

Shotgun
(other functions)
Random Rifle Blaster Sniper
