Whatever you want it to be.

What the heck is "cow damage"?

Damage type is the exact same thing as in DECORATE, which means it can be any name imaginable - even cow damage! :P

[quote="Graf Zahl"]This is all there is:

DamageType Fire
DamageAmount 10
DamageTimeMask 31[/quote]
What are the valid DamageTypes? Is there a set list or can this be any string? Does it correlate directly to the damage resistances in Decorate? Does it set the MOD to use as well?

I'm also under the assumption that DamageTimeMask is the number to bitwise-AND the current gametic by to determine when to damage the player? (e.g. if (gametic & DamageMask) DoDamage(foo); ?)

[EDIT] OK, I've made a pretty major update to the [wiki]TERRAIN[/wiki] article with the new information included. I've made a couple assumptions here and some of the other information might not be 100% accurate. If somebody could look over it and verify that it works as described, I'd appreciate it.

I wonder if it could be possible to have damage type-specific IronFeet items. Like a radsuit that protects you from nukage, but is absolutely useless when you decide to go swim in a lava pool... Terrain supports damage types, but apparently not the [wiki=Classes:PowerIronFeet]IronFeet power[/wiki].

This is all there is:

DamageType Fire
DamageAmount 10
DamageTimeMask 31

Hmm... I went to add this information to the wiki, and it appears there is no mention of the ability to set damaging floors via the [wiki]TERRAIN[/wiki] lump. Could somebody with more knowledge of this feature add a section on this? My usage of the terrain lump amounts to downloading Enjay's WAD and autoloading it to add splashes to standard Doom levels. :D

Terrain damage is from Hexen and Hexen never had a protection artifact.

I'd rather add a terrain option to enable IronFeet protection rather than doing it unconditionally because it leaves more options. If you add the keyword 'allowprotection' to the terrain definition the radiation suit should work. The random leakage is not implemented yet though. I find it more annoying than useful anyway.

Flat damage defined in the Terrain lump causes damage when the player has the IronFeet powerup.
Here's my code:
[code]//==========Lava==========
Splash Lava
{
SmallClass TLavaSplash
SmallClip 12
SmallSound Sizzle
BaseClass TLavaSplash
ChunkClass TLavaDust
ChunkXVelShift 8
ChunkYVelShift 8

Sound Singe
}
Terrain Lava
{
Splash Lava
Footclip 0
Liquid
DamageType Fire
DamageAmount 10
DamageTimeMask 31
}
Floor Lava Lava[/code]
Having that code in TERRAIN will cause the player to receive damage from any sector floor with the 'Lava' flat, the problem is when the player has the ironfeet powerup, the player is still damaged. -I think I remember reading about how the RadSuit can only block a certain amout of damage, if so is there a way to increase the RadSuit's protection?
