Summary0000525: ZDoom's Quoted Decorate Damage
DescriptionZDoom's damage decorate property value can be enclosed in quotes to ignore Doom's random damage calculations and make your own calculations.
Doom's calculation is "random(1,8)*damage"

damage "random(0,3)*damage"

This ignores doom's calculation and adds your own.

* Added support for setting an actor's damage property to an expression through decorate. Just enclose it within parentheses, and the expression will be evaluated exactly as-is without the normal Doom damage calculation. So if you want something that does exactly 6 damage, use a "Damage (6)" property. To deal normal Doom missile damage, you can use "Damage (random(1,8)*6)" instead of "Damage 6".

'http://www.zdoom.org/wiki/Actor_properties#Behavior [^]'

Custom damage formulas can be specified by enclosing the value completely within parenthesis. For example: "damage (random(4,8)*5+6)". This bypasses the normal calculation and does the exact damage resulting from the custom formula.
