- Hi all you DOOMers out there!
-
- Here is something I discovered that I thought you would like to use in
- your own DOOM levels. It involves using the line type 47 G1 Raise Floor.
-
- Use it to make things vanish instantly, even whole rooms!
- I have included a sample .wad file illustrating what can be done with
- this phenomenon:
-
- Fire up DOOM and load magic.wad by typing:
-
- doom -file magic.wad
-
- Start a new game, then type
-
- idclev24
-
- This means it's episode 2, level 4 (that's just cos I like the music).
-
- You'll find yourself in a small green stone room. Fire your gun and
- presto, the room is gone! Now you will see a gray column on the right.
- There are two things that can happen:
-
- 1. Fire at the column first, it disappears. Then fire at the computer
- block, it too disappears.
-
- 2. Fire at the computer block first, it rises! Then fire at the column
- and it will disappear.
-
- Now look around and you'll see a marble block, a pipe wall and a door
- behind it. There are two things that can happen:
-
- 1. Fire at the marble first, the pipe wall disappears. Then fire at the
- door, it disappears too.
-
- 2. Fire at the pipe first, it rises to the ceiling! You can now fire at
- the marble and the door will disappear, but you'll never get to the
- other side.
-
- Can you imagine the possibilities? Get editing folks! (;->
-
- You can even use this effect to create vertical scrolling textures!
- i.e. floors that rise endlessly cos they can't find the next floor
- to stop at.
- I assume this has not been discovered cos I haven't seen it in any of the
- tons of levels I have downloaded from the library.
