Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things:
  1. You do not need to copy that actor, since it is already defined.
  2. In fact, it's not just useless, it's actually harmful as it can cause problems.
  3. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go.
  4. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them.
  5. There is only one exception: if what you want is changing Ammo capacity, you need to create a new type from Ammo.

DoomEd Number None Class Name SpecialSpot

The base class used for special map points that must be part of a collection where a single element can be chosen randomly. The Icon of Sin in Doom II, D'Sparil and the firemace in Heretic all use this in different ways.

  • The Icon of Sin regularly spits boss cubes at a randomly-chosen BossTarget.
  • D'Sparil, once his mount is dead, will often teleport to a randomly-chosen BossSpot. The more wounded he is, the more likely he'll decide to teleport.
  • Only one firemace can be present in a level, so it will appear at a randomly-chosen MaceSpawner. Except in deathmatch, the mace only has a 75% chance of appearing at all.
