How do "I" do THAT in Doom Builder?

[Duora Super Gyro]

Im making some new maps but Im having some trouble with some stuff.
How do you make it so AI players cant run off the cliff but you can like at airmans stage.

Oh and dont forget about the question above

[BiscuitSlash]

Select the linedef that you don't want bots to run past and make sure that "Block Monsters" is checked. The only problem with this trick is that they will always run into that line, but there's nothing you can do about that.

I'm stumped on how to create a skybox; I've looked at many examples but none of them are helpful.

I'm making my first map and I need to know what to do to create a successful skybox.

[Gummywormz]

Make a box / circle not connected to your map. Change the textures on all sides so that it uses the sky you want. Insert an actor called skybox viewpoint in the center. Replace the textures in your original map with f_sky1.

[Fyone]

I found out one of the problems (which was I accidentally made 2 skybox things) and I fixed it, but only the top is working properly not the sides.

Any ideas?

[Shade Guy]

If you're referring to the edges of your map not showing the skybox, F_SKY1 doesn't work on wall textures. Give the borders of your map a 'line horizon' (9) line special.

Thanks, BTW how do you make fences?

[Fyone]

And what do you do for the "fell too far"?

I've seen people use the thing "Actor hits floor", but it's not working when I do what they do.

[Knux]

For fences, right-click a linedef and on the action box, type 121. For a fence you can jump over, number 2 in the flags box. For an impassable fence, just click the Impassable check box. To use the fence textures you want, go to the Sidedefs tab and and place them in bot middle textures. Remember to click Upper and Lower Unpegged so that they stay on the floor without having to do it manually.

For "Fell too far" messages when falling on pits, I use an Actor Hits Floor thing (located in Sector Actions), click the Action Tab and type 73 in the action box and make the Damage Amount 255. It should say you fell too far when you fall in the sector you placed that thing.

And this is aside from all that, but I figured out how the Elec Man traps work by myself. >_>

Actually, the death message displayed using that method is simply "<player> died." with that configuration.  To get it to specifically say "<player> fell too far.", a slightly different approach is needed.

I had part of a post typed out, but I think SickSadWorld explains it best:

You have to edit this to suit your map

The spot with the ## make into your script number.

The spot with ### make into the tag of the sector you want to be affected.

Code: [Select]

#include "zcommon.acs"   // This defines the DAMAGE_PLAYERS

script ## OPEN   // Your script number goes here MUST CHANGE OR WONT WORK
{
delay(1);
SectorDamage(###, 255, "Falling", "BeatCallCheck", DAMAGE_PLAYERS);  
// Change the ### to the sector tag you want from your map
restart;
}

So basically, open your map, open the script editor, toss this in and edit appropriately, hit Compile Script, tag the appropriate sectors with the number you chose for SectorDamage, save, and you're good to go.  No objects required.  Actually, I take that back.  To get the Beat Call to work properly, you still need the "Actor Hits Floor" thing.  Place it somewhere, go into the Thing Action tab, and type "226" in Action and "205" in Script Number, then put it in every sector that's assigned to be a bottomless pit.  This should make those sectors work properly as pits with Beat Calls.

However, if you don't have Beat in your map, the object shouldn't be necessary.

Thanks a bunch.  

BTW, I always see people using 'F_SKY1' for the floor texture as well as the ceiling texture, but whenever I make the floor texture 'F_SKY1' the texture acts like there was no texture even there (!).

[Joseph Collins]

That's perfectly normal, as Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch handles F_SKY1 as a "skybox" texture.  Basically, you make a skybox somewhere else in the map, toss a Skybox Viewpoint in, then go back to your main area and select F_SKY1 as your ceiling/floor texture to show the skybox.

I believe your question about skyboxes was answered earlier in this very thread.  :3

Oops! I was under the impression that I was right. Blame my sometimes short-term memory.

Well, actually I wasn't talking about how to make a skybox, because I already have a skybox. I was saying that when I put F_SKY1 as my ceiling texture it works fine with my skybox, but when I do it with my floor texture the same glitch happens as the one if you had 'no texture' (!).
