GZDoom Builder - Poly object doors stay open?

[Graaicko]

Was wondering how to make poly object doors stay open? I have sliding and swinging doors throughout a map I'm creating. the exit door is switch activated, so I need it to stay open.

Give a long delay in a script, for example

Code: Select all

#include "zcommon.acs"

//  8:Polyobj_DoorSlide (po, speed, angle, dist, delay);

script 1 (void)
{
    Polyobj_DoorSlide (2, 16, 0, 176, 0x7fffffff);
}

That way, the gaming session will be finished long before the door would close.

[wiki]Polyobj_Move[/wiki] (line type 4) does this anyway.

Unless somebody is persistent enough to have the game running for almost two years non-stop just to see it close.

Then again, wouldn't a delay of 0 make it stay open forever? Or does that not work in the case of Polyobj_DoorSlide?

In the case of Polyobj_DoorSlide, a delay of 0 closes the door immediately.

So, to keep the door open,

• either use Polyobj_DoorSlide with a long delay,
  or use Polyobj_Move.

Polyobj_Move is better imo. Setting up the same as the slide action will do it.

Don't need no additional code or script, I just typed 999999 in the tic delay line. Works perfect enough for me.

Using Polyobj_Move (as per the example I posted) doesn't need a script at all. There is no script in my example PK3, I just used the built in line type (that type can be used from a script if required though).

I know. I just use the swing door action. and use those numbers in delay.

For a single use switch Polyobj_Move is probably fine. However, I found Polyobj_DoorSlide to be generally more robust because it can't be accidently activated twice if using double doors.

To make Polyobj_DoorSlide doors stay open, use a delay of -1
