Two questions (activator TIDs & crushers)

You mean set the flag on the barrels or on the linedef?

Damn right it will. I have a conveyor which gets barrels spwaned onto it; as they cross a certain linedef, a crusher comes down... this was the idea. I could (actually I did) time the crusher so it comes down when a barrel actually hits the spot, but I would like it to be more flexible (maybe the barrels will come in random intervals).

Graf's right, add the MCROSS flag to the barrels in a DEH patch and all should be well.

So there's no way, short of Dehacked work?

There's no way to get barrels to activate monster-cross lines without Dehacked, but you could probably work something else out if you really wanted to avoid it. What's wrong with Dehacked I wonder.

Nothing, I just never worked with it

. That's why I'm scared shitless to use DECORATE ot to add new weapons.

You need a Dehacked patch but the change you have to make can't be made with Dehacked itself so all you need is editing a text file.

Thank you all.
