Character Can't Move
I've been making a level in GZDoom, but every time I try to test it, my character will not move no matter what. Is there any way to fix this?

Re: Character Can't Move
I wonder if you've accidentally stuck the player start slightly inside the nearby barrier. Try moving the player start elsewhere and see if you're still stuck.
Re: Character Can't Move
I've tried that, but no results. Do you have any other suggestions?
Re: Character Can't Move
Please post you map, guess game doesn't work here.
Re: Character Can't Move
After fiddling with the map for a long while, I found something bizarre.

The entire level is engulfed in a block.
I've tried to remove it, but it doesn't appear in the builder.

Re: Character Can't Move
Here's the download to the map.
Do remember that it's low quality and an inside joke between me and my friends.

Re: Character Can't Move
Have a close look at these 4 linedefs
Spoiler:and think about how they affect the rest of the map..

Re: Character Can't Move
Can you please explain what's wrong instead of making people guess? I cannot check it until later today and if this is a mere mapping bug this thread should be tossed away.

Re: Character Can't Move
I included the image so that the OP can learn by having to think about what the 160 special does and how its attributes act upon the rest of the map. I have, long since, come to the conclusion that prechewing the solution very seldom helps in understanding what is going on when something goes wrong. However, giving hints pointing in the right direction usually results in the famous AHA moment. And that is not guessing but learning.Graf Zahl wrote:Can you please explain what's wrong instead of making people guess?

Since you prescribe to handing out solutions, here are three:
Solution 1, and that would be the easiest and correct one, is to delete the 160 linedef special
recommended
Spoiler:Solution 2, leave the map as is and specify a sector tag which is not likely to affect any other sector
not recommended, only included to make a point
Spoiler:Solution 3, leave the map as is and replace all Sector tags 0 with something which is not likely to affect any other sector
not recommended, only included to make a point

Re: Character Can't Move
Actually, I was more interested in knowing what was wrong because I'm on a computer where I cannot check the map.
But since this is clearly a mapping bug from your description, I'm just moving this thread out of the way because it clearly is not a technical issue that needs to stick around
