Using ACS to trigger doors upon monster death

Post by IndependentAutist2 »

I'm planning on using ACS in my next map to trigger a door/platform/crusher after a specific, tagged monster dies in said map. However, I don't have that much experience with ACS, got any ideas for how I can script this in ACS and get started with ACS in general?

Here's a Doom 2 map with a bunch of different ways to trigger scripts when enemies die and a commented script file showing what's going on! Give it a look and see if any of the methods there are what you wanted!
