It's not a thing, it's a line type. Are you using the zdoom.cfg file for wadauthor?

Uhm, what engine does you use. (I guess you use zdoom, just want to be sure). For use slopes and all that other zdoom stuff in your map, you need the zdoom config file for wad author, I think it is on the Zdoom page. The slope itself is just a line special. You can read about slopes on that page too.

Did you also convert your iwad into zdoom/hexen format?

Even I can make slopes, and I am a newbie mapper. So... heh.

Just try play around with it, it is not that hard.

code:

+-+-+-+
|A|B|C|
+-+-+-+

A,B,C are different sectors, A has the same floor height as B, C is higher, make the line between B and C an 181 special with first arg of 1.
Anyone can do this shorter?

Below the line stuff, there are a bunch of boxes labeled "args". They become selectable depending on what line type is selected.

actually there ARE things you can use for slopes:


Things 9500 and 9501: The first argument to these things is a line id.
For each matching line, the sector on the same side of the line
has its floor or ceiling sloped so that it passes through this thing.
The thing does not necessarily need to be in the sector(s) being
sloped. 9500 slopes the floor, and 9501 slopes the ceiling.
Things 9502 and 9503: Set the plane equation for the sector they are in
directly. The first argument determines how far it tilts from
horizontal and is measured in degrees. 90 degrees is perfectly
horizontal. Values close to 90 have less slope than values further
from 90. The thing's angle is used to determine what direction the
slope faces. The floor or ceiling will be adjusted so that it passes
through this thing. 9502 slopes the floor, and 9503 slopes the
ceiling.
Things 9510 and 9511: The first argument to these is a sector tag. The
plane equation from the first sector with a matching tag will be
copied to the sector that this thing is in. 9510 copies the floor
plane, and 9511 copies the ceiling plane.

Things 9500-9503 are processed after slopes created with linedef specials,
so they can be used to further adjust the resultant slope. Things 9510
and 9511 are processed after all other slopes are set up, so they override
any slopes that might have been created in their sectors already.

I had the problem of not understanding that zdoom page also, until I found that the line type is called "plane_align".
the whole time I was searching for something that had the word 'slope' in it.
and also in my wad that has sloped floors, the lines no longer have the the plane_align type assigned to them, yet they still slope, so that confuses me slightly.

If you open up zspecial.acs, you can see the numbers next to the names.

For thing numbers, open up zdoom.wcf instead.

The one you want is Plane_Align, btw.

Do you have the latest version of zdoom? 2.0 or whatever it is.

right click on the line and hit 'edit raw data' and all the numbers will pop up. below the first three boxes are six boxes which are the line special and the five args (which will usually be 0), plane_align is 181
