Player Height

How do I make a player start a map at the top of a sector?

If the map is in Hexen mode, then you should be able to change the height of the player start. In Doom mode you can't do this though (AFAIK).

you cant. YOu will needa script that raises the player up at the very start or have a solid floor intersect the 3D(having the same floor height as the 3d Floor) and lower at the very start of the map, leaving the player at the top.

That is IF 3-d sectors are involved at all in the first place!

Thats how I understand it. Unless he means he just wanted to throw the player to a certain elevation. You'll have to make a sector with the height you want and lower it with a script really fast at the start of the map.

He didn't say his question was for GZDoom, so I don't think we are talking about 3-d floors at all, here.

You could just put the spawner on top of an invisible bridge thing and remove it on enter

Now I am having problems scrolling scripted marines. I can get one of them to scroll correctly but the other set scrolls backwards. What do I do?

Only involves a special linetag, a control sector and a tagged sector (Said control sector is outside the map), complicated at first, but easy to manage much later on.

yes they're easy but if you want to do 3d sloped floors it's much harder to do and hard to control

Not really, as long as you know how to make slopes, and make sloped control sectors, it's exactly the same principle.

2 or 3 sloped 3D floor examples attached to this thread...

Is there a WAD that has 3d floors in it?
