How would I make a sector continuously heal the player?

In ZDoom, use "Player Enters Sector" and "Player Leaves Sector" things that control scripts. PES activates the script that gives the player health, and PLS terminates it. As for the script itself, try this

code:script 1 (void)
{
   HealThing (1);
   Delay (2);
   restart;
}

If you aren't using ZDoom, then I don't know. You have to be using a port with scripting of some type.

Have you tried updating the ACS compiler? (I think its ACC.exe, been awhile since I've scripted anything)

Add;

#include "zcommon.acs"

To the top of the script.

I will deliberately take a contrary position just for the sake of writing incredibly long arguments

You could do this with a voodoo doll, a dynamic floor scrolling action and an extremely long corridor full of health bonuses. :)

That's for boom compatible engines.

For doom.exe, you can make a fake water effect containing lots of medkits.

Just to get it straight: I don�t know diddley-squad about mapping!

But i remember encountering something similar to what you describe, in Rex Claussens "The Darkest Hour" TC.

The socalled "Bacta Tanks": (from the DH Gameplay.txt)

"Later in the game you will come across Bacta Tanks, which provide full health. Just drop into the tank, and your health will gradually increase. You will need to reach the bottom of the tank, and may need to move around a little. Don't stay under water too long as you'll start to "drown" and lose health. Each tank is single-use only, so wait until you are really low on health before jumping in."

Seemingly not far from what Karnizero mentioned...

Maybe Rex will let you in on how it was made or perhaps you could check it out for yourself with some doombuilder-thingy? Apparently, according to the .txt, you may modify or reuse the content as you please.

Hope that�s helpful. Enough.
