Just make sure it's based on the actors absolute center. Actors can be placed into holes smaller than themselves on spawn.

I saved the torch sprites as png, adjusted the offset with Slade3 and imported them into my map.
But I still had to make those sectors hollow to extend the sector heights.

Thank you gentlemen.

They were obviously defined so that with a z-less map format they spawn in the middle of a wall. Unfortunately this limits their usefulness quite a bit.
I'm afraid but you'll have to redefine the sprite offsets with TEXTURES and create a replacement actor to get around this problem because changing the original actors is not an option.

Because you're extending them into the floor. And seeing as things can't exist below a floor...

I'm using GZDoom Builder r2213.
The offsets are effective but only up to a certain amount. There is something screwy with how the walltorch is applied
in the game engine on tight sectors. On a regular wall it works just fine.

[Addendum]
I just modified my map with those hollow sectors and it still does not work.
Most peculiar.

Looks like the editor isn't taking sprite offsets into account. The wall torch sprite ends 90 units above 0.

When I align the walltorches in the editor, such as this

they are displayed like this when running in ZDoom

or with GZDoom I get this

When I attach the walltorch to a regular wall, or when I hollow out those sectors so that they are all the same height,
then it works alright.
