Inherritance for Damagetypes

[RockstarRaccoon]

So like, I could specify something like...

Code: Select all

DamageType Fire {
	Obituary = "Burned to death"
}
DamageType Fireball : Fire {
	Obituary = "Burned to death by fireball"
}
DamageType Lava : Fire {
	Obituary = "Tried to swim in Lava"
}
DamageType PlasmaBeam : Fire {
	Obituary = "Killed by a Plasma Beam"
}
DamageType PlasmaMissileCombo : PlasmaBeam {
	Obituary = "Killed by a Plasma Missile"
}

And it could all be group-referenced as "Fire".

Easier said than done. The damage type is currently just a name with no semantics attached.

I see. Ok then. Maybe I can just pull something like having naming conventions like "Fire_Napalm" next time I want to pull something like that then...
