A sector plane has no 'height', due to slopes. You have to call ZAtPoint to get the height from a reference point.

For the earlier thing I'd use a line trace and use the sector it hit.

For the implementation I'm asking this for, I'm picking a random sector from a list.

How would you refer to the sector in zScript?

ZS move floor/ceiling relative to starting height?

Is there any ZScript function that does this natively, or is there any function that can reliably get a starting height from which to derive a MoveFloor/MoveCeiling target?

I can MoveFloor/Ceiling if I have a convenient spot on the map as a reference point and get the starting height from that, but I have no idea what to do if there is no such reference point and all I want to do is just move the sector in question by X number of units up or down.
