Bit of help with triggers that make textures & flats change.

I have a part of my level where walking across a linedef is meant to make a previously trodden room change its appearance. The nukage changes to blood and the sector lighting changes colour. Any way to do this with built in functions or should I write up an ACS?

There are built-in ACS functions that you can call from a script:
If you're using dynamic lights instead of sector colors, you could put both "old" and "new" lights inside the room and set the dormant flag for those that you don't want to be active yet. To change the lighting, Thing_Activate the "new" lights and simultaneously Thing_Deactivate the "old" ones.
