Basically, I am trying to make a cracked wall that you fire a rocket at (or blow up a barrel near, etc.) to break it. I know how to code the cracking wall part, but I need to create an actor that can only take damage from explosions so that I can attach the script to this actor's death. Is there anyway to do this without modifying the weapons' DECORATE (as I want to keep mod compatibility)?
Thanks in advance.
Actor that can only be harmed by rockets?

Go with the barrel idea. Make sure the barrel does a unique type of damage when it explodes, but the caveat is that you could use any weapon to detonate it really.
I took a quick peek at the weapons to see if rockets did a type of Explosive damage, but didn't see any tags for it.

+VULNERABLE on the actor taking damage is what you want. Do not flag them as +SHOOTABLE

So only radius damage injures it that way? I'll remember that one...
