Monster ability to only resurrect certain types of monsters

Title says it all, but I'll give an example anyway: Let's say I want a revenant to be able to resurrect imps and and cacodemons, but no other type of monster. It would make certain environments more interesting (at least for me anyway). I'm hoping for a DECORATE command like this:

ResurrectType "DoomImp", "Cacodemon"

Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

@Doomguy0505: Please stop taking drugs. I would make your head much clearer so such nonsense posts won't happen again.

HELLO? Does this mean that we could also create better targeting system, allowing monsters to automatically hate, help, or ignore each other by type?

P.S: Doomguy0505, say what you mean to say, and not what the flying monkey in your head tells you to.

this would be awesome. that way I could have a monster help the marine without being friendly if the targeting thing was added.

That sounds cool. You could have an imp medic, which revives all fallen imp type monsters. (We've got many variants, so why not?)

Or an invisible Cyber-Demon reviver.

You'd need to create a resurrectable Cyberdemon first.

It'd take about a minute in Decorate, but yeah, you would need to do it.

I already have a little thing I whipped up that gives all the monsters that didn't have them RAISE frames. It males Arch-Viles priority one in any map.

Archviles ressurecting other Archviles. Imagine the hatred...

I have a map called Virus, which is basically my version of Nuts.wad. I use a script to kill all but one arhvile, who emerges from a random door somewhere on the level and starts working. If he gets to another Arch-Vile...you're totall screwed.

I'm sure I didn't miss out on anything important.

Awesome! Thanks for looking into it.
