Is there a built in function to to get information on how much damage taken from last attack, in this case the player, i have seen something like this in the mod "damnums" but that is for how much you did to other actors and not how much the player took from last attacks.
1. Is there a way to how much damage you took (the player) from last attack / attacks (max 1 tic)
2. If so can that value be accessed from ACS?
3. Is it it possible to calculate "Damage taken per second" (on the player)
4. When taking Damage and you want a "retribution" type "spell" to damage only the actor that attacked you, is that possible using ACS?
5. What internal information like this is exposed to the 3 scripting systems? Decorate, ACS, ZScript (never coded zscript yet)
Extra info: i am trying to recreate some mmorpg classes using scripted enchantments using ACS in doom.

Re: How much Damage taken?
ZScript: An actor's DamageMobj() function, called whenever an actor takes damage, returns the amount of damage taken.
There's also the ThingDamaged() event, which would have the advantage of not needing to replace anything, but I've never used it so I can't really say how it works.
Anything else, I'd go into the thing that's causing the damage and retrieve the value from that - which is of course only the input value not the net damage done.
