ZDoom

So I was testing out some simple teleporter varieties as an example for someone, and I found a discrepancy between how GZDoom currently handles the Teleport (70) line special compared to vanilla (I used Chocolate Hexen for vanilla testing so it SHOULD be accurate). In CH, when the teleport special ...

I've been working on voxel models for Hexen props, and would like to know what the best way to create a patch that I could distribute with it that would allow me to change the default angles of certain props since a lot of them now have clear fronts and backs. As far as I know no one else has made a ...

I did some further testing and it appears interactive sector portals also break polyobject portals as well.

Basically, if you have any static portals on a map connected to sectors with a polyobject with portals on it, they'll stop any portals on the polyobject from teleporting things. "Visual+teleporter" or "interactive" portal lines on a polyobject will no longer teleport objects crossing through the ...

I've done some more testing, and it looks like it is somehow related to the size of the map, as I pasted another setup that didn't work in the main map, but worked once it was pasted into a smaller test map.

Very cool! I'm going to add this to my next map if that's ok! Credited of course.

Hey, thanks for this equation! I'm trying to convert your solution into ACS for my map, and I've got it working, but I can't get it to work if the target changes position vertically. What am I missing here? I really suck at math, and after hours of fiddling with it, my brain is fried at this point ...

Would this be possible to do in ACS? I'm trying to create a similar attack for a trap, but it also needs to shoot upwards first more, like artillery almost.

I made a moving polyobject with portals on its sides to act like a train, and it works perfectly in my test map, but when I moved it over to the main map, whenever I cross over the line into the train from the outside, the sectors inside the portals seem to just...disappear. There's no vertical ...

I see, thanks for the insight!
Didn't mean to come across as pestering, so if I did, I apologize.

Just did a Mage playthrough with it, was a lot of fun!
Though I did feel a bit overpowered in the vanilla maps haha.

Ugh, I could really use that in my current map...

Yeah, having it carry objects objects when moving horizontally would have to be addressed as well, looks like the k8vavoom specs do allow for that, as well as rotational movement.

Combined with some other tricks, and we can have convincing platforms/trapdoors/etc. that can move horizontally and vertically, without need to rely on other hacky methods to mask the lack of them. Well, its already can be "done" with Model + Any invisible actor with colision + ActorMover. This is ...

What would the immediate benefit be for GZ? The immediate benefit is we'd have polyobjects with visible tops and bottoms, instead of hollow, see-through ones. Combined with some other tricks, and we can have convincing platforms/trapdoors/etc. that can move horizontally and vertically, without need ...
