Thing types by number

These tables list things that have an associated editor number, or thing type. A sizable number of additional objects or mobjs&mdash;such as spawn cubes, rockets and spells in flight, spiderdemon corpses, and many special effects&mdash;may not be placed in a level at its outset, but are generated only during gameplay. Conversely, a small number of editable things&mdash;such as player/deathmatch starts and most ambient sounds&mdash;are handled at level initialization without creating mobjs.
