Adding a custom switch texture

[TheSartremaster]

Hi,

I am trying to add a custom switch texture and I am at a loss.
in my PK3, I have an "ANIMDEFS" with the following code:

Code: Select all

switch SWoffBark 	on 	
	sound WoodSwitch 	
	pic SWonBark 	tics 0

switch SWonBark 	off 
	sound WoodSwitch 	
	pic SWoffBark tics 0

The code is basically copied from the "Simple toggle switch" example from https://zdoom.org/wiki/ANIMDEFS#Switches.

I tried to make a switch in my UDMF map, but the texture does not react to being used. The texture does not change and no sound is played.
Trouble shooting I did:
1: Animated textures from the ANIMDEFS file work in the map, so the ANIMDEFS file is read and works.
2: Exchanging my custom switch texture with a build in switch plays a sound and changes the texture.
3: I used both my custom sound and "Door1" from the example code. The sound is not played, making me think it is the definition that is not working.

I assume, I am missing something, but I am stumped as to what it is.

Could it be because SWoffBark is more than 8 characters? I think texture names can’t have more than 8 unless you put the full path to the image in quotes.

Aaaaah that was it!
I switched the names to be 8 symbols long and it works like a charm with sound and everything.
Thank you so much!.
