They still work in (nearly) the same way, right? I don't want to be using Slade and everyone tells me how to do something in SlumpEd because nearly everybody still uses SlumpEd.

Also, thanks for the tip about that template Korby! You never fail to disappoint!

Is there also a way to make invisible wall that you cannot pass but still hold things like vbuoys? I want to put them on top of water without a visible tower thing underneath them.

...
Make a line and make it impassable.

I've gotten a lot of help here and no one answered this so I can try to give back to the community.



Here's an example of my interpretation of what you described that uses

It might be a bit over-designed for a simple demonstration but I guess I got carried away.

The key feature of this model that addresses your question directly is using

Thank you SSW! That tutorial really helped!


I made a mistake in what I said, but here is the situation:

Why don't you want them passable? If the buoy are on top of the water, why would they block your path?

That is what he wants to know.

and I don't think that is possible, as that would basically be a floor over another floor which is the bane of doom stages.

Try looking at Bridges, there is another tutorial for that either in this forum or in another forum for the same purpose.

Hm, the way I'd approach this problem is to probably use DECORATE somehow

Some possibilities

• Inherit from the buoy actor and give it +NOGRAVITY, then set its z-height in doom builder
• Make an invisible actor inherited from the HeXen glitterbridge actor and put the buoys on top of them
• Something else?

I don't think it's a good idea to make invisible sectors that impede motion. Maybe someone else has input?

It's possible to make them invisible, but it's hard to explain... It's do with messing around with sectors and linedefs...

Make a sector, Make another one around it (It help's if it's thin so it's unnoticeable)
Take a note of the number of the inner sector...
Make both sides of the lines the belong to the same sector (it should be the number of it)
Repeat that again for the outer one.

Stairs are done in the same way, they can be quite confusing.

If you're all having trouble with this, I'll make another video.

That's the best way to do it.
