    • Means-of-Death: MOD_FALLING (17)
    • Obituary: “%o fell too far.”
    • Damage Type: "Falling"
  • “Leaving”
    • Means-of-Death: MOD_EXIT (20)
    • Obituary: “%o tried to leave.”
    • Damage Type: "Exit"
  • “Freezing” - Players freeze and break into ice chunks with this type of pit.
    • Means-of-Death: MOD_ICE (24)
    • Obituary: “%o died.”

    • Means-of-Death: MOD_MASSACRE (1000)
    • Obituary: “%o died.”
    • Damage Type: "Massacre"
• Argument 3: Damage Interval - How often to apply damage to players within the pit in tics.

<aside> 💡 Tip: Damage and Damage Interval can be used together to create a pit that deals slow tick damage. A pit with 10 damage and 10 tics as the damage interval will slowly kill the player by dealing 10 damage every 10 tics that they stand within it. These are commonly used with "Mutation" and "Melting" pits.

• Argument 4: 3D Floor Target Sector - The tag of the target sector of a 3D floor. Only use this if you are making a pit that is a 3D floor. Make sure that this is the target sector of the 3D floor.
• Tag: Tag - Which tag to apply the pit to. A tag of 0 will apply a pit to every non-tagged sector in the map!

<aside> 💡 Warning: 3D floors are tricky to create pits using, but just remember the control sector (the sector outside of the map) and the target sector (the sector inside). The Tag field should have the tag of the control sector while the 3D Floor Target Sector argument should be using the tag of the target sector, also used as the Sector Tag in Sector Set 3D Floor.
