Classes:SpecialSpot

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: SpecialSpot
 →BossSpot
 →BossTarget
 →MaceSpawner

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.
