Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

ACTOR MovementDetector { Radius 5 Height 5 +AMBUSH // (Graf Zahl: It's not called DEAF!) States { Spawn: TNT1 A 1 A_Look Loop See: TNT1 A 1 ACS_Execute(<script>,<map,<arg1>,<arg2>,<arg3>) Stop (or) Loop } } OK. But if I need to use several detectors in a map, each detector with a distinct special ...

How about to create those new things:

movement_detector
An invisible thing that execute its special when it "see" the player

sound_detector
As the first, but it execute the special when "hear" the player using a weapon.

I think it would be useful

According the zdoom documentation, we can apply special for shootable things, pickuppable items and others.

I've attempted to set an special to a teleport destination, so it would execute the special when the player is teleported to it. But it didn't work.

How about to incude this feature to zdoom?

Excuse me, i didn' know that i could attach the file. Next time i'll do it

That's the problem. The lines should be rendered, but only in the right time. I've tried it, but I get an unpleasing effect after the doors opens

For me it occours everytime, only in automap. Is there a trick to avoid this glitch?

Look at this map:

http://rapidshare.de/files/24767997/bighallbug.wad.html

There's some lines behind secret doors that insists to appear in automap, even before open the doors.

Is it a bug in zdoom, in zdbsp or in the map?

Perhaps what you're trying to do would work better with the activation "projectile hits" rather than "projectile passes through"? If possible, with both activation would be better. Now I've been tinking about 3 arguments (speed, mode, fixed): speed: speed ratio: 0 - Stop projectile 50 - Half speed ...

I'm using Doom builder 1.67, special 72 and it appears as "thing_thrust", with 2 argumments (thrust angle and thrust distance). Maybe I need to update the configuration files.

I work ALMOST all right using the special "thing_trust" in the line, activated when projectile passes over, but is not perfect... My idea is an line special that return the projectile at the same speed and at a calculated angle, as if the projectile bonces in the line. The special would be called ...

It would be like that:

Line_fence(height,block_upper,block_lower);

height: height of the fence
block_upper: blocking flags above the height
block_lower: blocking flags below the height

Blocking flags:
0: No blocking
1: Block player
2: Block monsters
4: Block projectiles

Yes, I know. But i would need to wait the monster die to teleport him, and thing_destroy will count 1 kill.

Well done, thanks

Now I think about starting with dead monsters and use this special. I can make it is killing the monsters with thing_destroy, but it will count one kill and I would see the monster dying. Is there another way?

How about a special that reincarnate dead monsters, as if would exists an archvile near?

thing_reincarnate(tid)

And monster also don't evade a crushing ceiling, and even thus is a good special
