Actor alias is a thing property used to define a name alias for an existing actor. Dehacked snippet:

Code:
Thing 94 (Red Torch)
Actor alias = MyModdedTorch


With the dehacked code above, one could for example use the "summon MyModdedTorch" console command to spawn the actor. Being just an alias, "summon RedTorch" would still work perfectly fine. Aliases should work with ACS spawning functions, console commands, and any other game function that can accept actor name as parameter.

This is not a spectacular feature in terms of gameplay, more so a help for modders to have the means to rename their actors for easier identification and use in maps.
