DeHackEd Things

A Thing in Doom is any map object typically represented by a sprite on the map. Things include pickups, decorations, and monsters.

Defining a Thing in DeHackEd usually means using a "slot" originally occupied by a classic Doom monster. Some source ports provide additional slots not occupied by any used monsters, allowing you to define brand new Things and place them in maps. Source ports like Chocolate Doom and Boom only provide the original 137 Things for you to work with.

Replacing certain Things means adopting some hard-coded behavior that cannot be changed by DeHackEd like infighting, blast damage immunity, projectile immunity, and so on.
