from
Wikipedia
Whereas Doom, Doom II, and Heretic rely on lines within the maps to perform simple actions, Hexen also allows these actions to be activated via Action Code Script ( ACS ).
Programming features such as randomization, variables, and intermap script activation enable smooth hub gameplay and are responsible for most of the special effects within the game: On-screen messages ; random sound effect and monster spawning ; sidedef texture changes ; versatile control of polyobjects ; level initialization for deathmatch ; and even complex environment changes such as earthquakes manipulating floor levels and textures.
