ACS_Execute

[cccp_leha]

How would use the ACS_Execute() special by going over only the front of the linedef (so it doesn't re-activate when you backtrack)?

You could have the script remove the line's special just after it is triggered so it can't be triggered again. That'd only be good if it's something you only want to happen once, though...

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
   if(lineside() == LINE_FRONT)
   {
      //do stuff here
   }
}

I noticed that some door and plat specials work only 1-way, but some (such as the ACS) work both.

depends on the trigger method. walkover lines work for all specials except teleport* no matter what side you walk over them (teleport needs to be walked over from the front). use triggers (ie traditional switches and doors) will only work from the front side of the line. push lines also work from both sides, but once again teleports need to be done from the front side. projectile cross and projectile hit lines are probably the same as player crossover and push lines (respectivly) but I haven't really tested that, and most projectiles can't teleport anyway

What exactly does the "player pushes" do?

Activates when the player pushes against a solid line, I'd assume. Would be useful for push-switches or wall teleporters.

Thanks boys 'n girls.

yeah, when you run into the line pretty much you trigger it (actually you only have to touch it really, and you can do it facing any angle). that's how I did the ladders in helm's deep, and in my current map I have 1s lines that are push teleporters, so you just, uh, run into the wall and teleport heh
