[DECORATE] Damage type based pain states
In the vein of EDGE, I'd much appreciate if a series of special pain states for monsters was added to correspond to specific damage types, like "FlamePain" or "DisintPain" and the like. A good way to demonstrate the usage of such things would be, for example, a taser weapon that does very little HP damage, but the monster's ElecPain state would have the monster being zapped instead of flinching in pain (to see a practical application, look at WW-BNI for EDGE).

A related feature suggestion might be the possibility of making monsters take different amounts of damage depending on the type of projectile used. For instance, a cyberdemon might be immune to normal rocket explosions but would be putty in the hands of a disintegrating nuke. So monsters can be resistent to certain kinds of projectiles.

If you're referring to the tracers, I know that the normal BFG does lots more damage than the rocket because it has tracers, which the cyber demon is not immune to. But I'm talking about making it so that while a normal rocket's splash damage (normal damage) doesn't dent the cyberdemon's flesh, a nuclear missile's splash damage (disintegrate damage) does. I just think it would be a good thing to have at the designer's disposal (Unmaker, anyone?).
