Firestorm damage[edit]
When the Cleric uses the firestorm weapon, the function A_CFlameAttack is called, which spawns an MT_CFLAME_MISSILE, which is a very fast moving projectile which, as can be seen here, is set to do factor 8 projectile damage, which in Hexen's formula comes out to damage = ((rand % 8) + 1) * 8. There is no special case in PIT_CheckThing which would stop this damage from occurring as normal.
Therefore I must reject the assertion that the firestorm's primary projectile does not explode and do damage. --Quasar (talk) 16:05, 24 August 2015 (CDT)
