	damagetypes - supported damage types

DESCRIPTION
	Author: Leowon, last update: 960812.

	This is a list of damage types you can use in /std weapons and livings.
	Usage of these is recommended, since it'll help increase the variety in
	the game.
	Note that these types do NOT change the amount of damage done in any
	way, but they affect which hit messages are printed. 

	Use: In a /std/simple_weapon, simply do set_type();
	     In a living, simply do add_property("damage_type",);

	The damage properties currently avaliable are:

	NAME		  COMMENT & EXAMPLES
	---------------------------------------------------------------------
	default		- The 'old' type of damage message.
	crush		- This is for crushing damage, example club, hammer.
	slash		- For slashing damage, example sword, claws.
	pierce		- Impale damage, example spear, stinger.
	chop		- Chopping damage, example axe, cutlass.
	hand-to-hand	- This is for unarmed humanoid combat, boxing style
			  (no kicks).
	fire		- Fire damage, example fire elemental, flaming sword.
	electricity	- Lightning/electricity damage, example lightning bolt.
	cold		- Cold damage, example frost dragon breath.
	drain		- Energy drain damage, example nasty undeads.
	acid		- Acid burns, example acidic spittle.
	bite		- Bite attacks, mainly for monsters that have bite as
			  their natural way of fighting (example lion, wolf).
	lash		- Lash attacks, whip-like damage.

NOTE
	If you code a fire-using monster, for example, it would be very nice of
	you to make it check if opponents have properties 'protection_fire' or
	'sensitivity_fire' set before calculating damage. If this is done from
	now on, in time the types might start to matter more than for just what
	kind of hit messages are printed. If this confuses you, feel free to
	ask your sponsor, me, or any other admin for more help.

	To see exactly what the damage messages are for the different damage
	types, do 'more /obj/daemon/messd.c'.

SEE ALSO
	I also want to push (very hard) for using terrain properties, so if you
	haven't already, do 'man terrain'.
