Kaiser PMed me something very useful in response to a question so I figured I'd post it for mappers to see. Ever wondered about those MacroFloor/MacroCeiling linetypes? Well here's how to use them according to Kaiser:
"The floor macros are a bit confusing so bear with me:
These are customizable floor types (similar to hexen's). However, in order to use these, you must call line type 204. This is a VERY importment type to remember because this is used on just about any macro specific line type.
So lets say you want a floor to lower 256 units down. In your macro, call line type 204 and for the tag enter -256, and then call linetype 212 or 228.
Line type 229 is instant. So if you use that, then the floor will instantly lower -256 units, while type 228 is a fast variation, and then 212 is a normal moving variation.
Line types 244 and 247 are different, which instead lowers based on Z-Height. So for line type 204, enter 128 for the tag and when you call either 244 or 247, the floor will move to z-axis coord 128. Also, 244 is instant while 247 moves.
Same thing applies to the ceiling macro types. Line type 204 MUST be called before you use these."
