gravity for objects on lifts

a while back, i got some help making a wad that adds a blood splat death sequence. making blood splash and form a puddle thats stays forever. when a blood puddle is formed on a lift and you press a switch that lowers the lift, the blood will stay floating where the lift used to be even though the floor had changed height, is there a way to apply gravity to the puddles? or to make them fall to ground.

This has been a problem for a while, and I'm not sure if anyone knows how to fix it. I did this exact same thing, with the exact same results.

Blood splats have the NOBLOCKMAP flag set. This flag must be cleared for objects that are supposed to be moved by lifts.

Bullet casings in certain mods do the same thing.

In the Decorate for your permanent blood splats just add the line

-NOBLOCKMAP

(I'm running on the assumption it's a flag)

It's a flag but the blood splat isn't a DECORATE thing. Set the blood splats bits to 0.

I thought he'd made a special version of it that stayed, and therefore assumed it was decorate.

That's perfectly possible in DeHackEd

the only flag set by default for the bloodsplat was visable and untouchable. setting the bits to zero worked, but since the mod i use has death frames added in, setting the bits to zero messes up the death frames. i loaded up the deh file, unset flag, copied bits value and pasted that value into my mod's deh file. thanks for all the help.

A few years ago, I wrote this in my Dehacked tutorials:

Uncheck bit 4 "can’t be hit". If you leave this checked, the blood pools may stay at the height of the floor they were spawned on. So if it is a rising and falling platform you may end up with a trail of blood hanging in mid air.

Here is the link to my Doom Mod. Be aware that it is mostly a Compilation and that I made it for myself. I'm still interested to here some outside Opinions though
