How to make vertical door from middle texture?

[martinezz123]

Hi.
I've made some crate cells. In them I've put some monsters.
I want them to open upwards when player walks over a linedef.
I have no idea how to do it.

I guess, since the cell is full height, you mean like a transparent door?

I did it by a bit of workaround.
There should be a sector of 1 point thickness.
The middle texture must be upper unpegged. Not wrapped.
Then in front of this there should be another 1pt thick sector with the floor rised by the amount we want to allow the crate go up.
Then the line schould call the first sector with the middle texture and use action: 41 celling rise by value.

The problem is thou that when I set "Impassable" flag, the crate will not be passable even after rising it up.

Thanks.
I used Enjay's method from your link.

That tutorial link is broken; anybody know what was in it?

The page is partially available on the Internet Archive, though some images are busted. Some of the files can still be downloaded.

It does contain links out to other existing resources too, like this tutorial on Doomworld

My apology for the dead links.
The Telus webpage was discontinued a long time ago by Telus, and the DRDteam webpage is in limbo, I guess due to the move.

I uploaded a pdf of the Door tutorial:
