0x200 Thing Flag


When a thing has this flag, it is either dead or dying. Targetting code for force powers usually checks for this flag to make sure dead things aren't targetted. The targetting code cannot directly check a player's health because health is not synced, so instead the 0x200 flag is used.

The engine checks to make sure that a player does not have this flag before giving him movement in response to new keyboard input. Also, pressing fire or space while the player has this flag will make the level restart in SP and make a player respawn in MP.
