ok, i found out how to make slopes and a good level( dont laugh cus it took me a while to figure it out!) now, how in the hell do i make a water fountain in zdoom???
for a better example, look at the new zdoom pic on the main page of doom world.
also, when i make a slope, is it movable???
when i want to make an elevator with a slope attached to it, the elevator moves up, but not the slope!! is this possible????
Aim me at

I think that water fountain is just a replaced Texture or Thing.
You can replace one of dooms animated textures with a bunch of little blue things that look like water, or you can do the same with a Thing that is animated such as a torch. And then you just give the floor a water texture to go with the animation. By doing this you can make rain and snow too.

No, those things in the screenshot are called particle fountains. They're special thing types that only exist in ZDoom and its deriatives.

If you go to the ZDoom homepage (http://zdoom.notgod.com/) you'll see one of the buttons at the top is "editing". If you click on this it'll come up with an on-line manual of most of the new ZDoom features (although it hasn't been updated since this time last year).

All of these pages are very useful (I've been using the ACS stuff there a LOT lately), but for your current purposes, http://zdoom.notgod.com/reference/things.html has a list of all the new ZDoom thing types, including the particle fountains.
