SetLineTexture not working

[TheShadsy]

So I'm trying to replace the front, middle texture on linedef 355 using a map script. This is on a Doom map in UDMF format. SetLineTexture is just... not working for this. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the script...

Code: Select all

SetLineTexture (355, LINE_FRONT, TEXTURE_MIDDLE, "HAZARD");

Nothing occurs when this runs, but the rest of the event goes off fine. Linedef 355 is additive and has partial alpha transparency, but I dunno if that's doing anything. I suspect it might be related to the lineid, but I really have no clue.

I can provide more info if needed, but I'm not sure what else would matter. Help! D:

Make sure that [wiki]SetLineTexture[/wiki] references the right lineid, i.e, the linedef should have a lineid (tag) of 355 as well.

Oh, lineid means the tag and not the linedef index directly. WOW I'm dumb. Thanks.

Referring to map objects directly with their number would be a terrible hassle when you modify geometry and everything gets renumbered.

The other advantage of using an identification value independent on the object's index is that this way, several objects can share the same id. You can give the same lineid to several lines and change them all at once.
