Stairs reset delays [SOLVED]

Post by Gonanza »

so im making a map using UDB and i have a speed puzzle that builds stairs upon pressing a switch, my issue is that i wanted a timer on it but the reset delay for stairs build up (doom mode) can only go up to 10 sec while i need it to be 20 seconds
any ideas on what im doing wrong ?

Setting the reset to 20 seconds (i.e. 20*35 tics) works fine for me.

How are you entering the number? There seems to be a quirk that when you have the drop-down menu open, enter a number, and then press enter, it seems to use the highlighted value. So make sure that the drop-down menu is not open.

You can enter 700 either way
Spoiler:
did you set up the stair sectors properly?
