Multiple linedefs in vanilla Doom

About This File

A demonstration wad showing how to make multiple-line switches in vanilla Doom. This can be used to make very powerful effects without the need for port features, although it does feature the minor side effect of dealing one point of damage (which can be countered by an inclusion of a health potion in the dummy sector but if this is done the side effect is more noticeable). The effect works by crushing a barrel when a trigger is switched (this could be done with either a switch or a walkover plate). The explosion knocks a voodoo doll into some walkover plates, thus causing multiple effects. This can also be used to do many other things never before seen in vanilla, including: --switch teleporters --a switch that gives the player as many items as you wish --by having a monster telefrag the barrel instead of having it get crushed,you can make teleporters not work until a switch has been activated to 'power' it --by this same technique, an exit that requires three switches --also by this technique, shootable exits, lifts, and even teleporters --again by that technique, you can make switches with a delay (by making the teleporter in the monster sector lower from whatever height you wish) --by replacing the voodoo doll with a monster, it could be used as an ultra fast monster beam-in without any need for it to be activated beforehand --by making the voodoo doll teleport onto another voodoo doll, you can make an instant-death switch (looks like I one-upped you, Nick Baker =P).

There's no end to the number of ways this demonstration could be used. I hope you can think of some more creative than I :) Note that by using this you waive Doom Legacy support (as the current version doesn't allow voodoo dolls).

I am amazed this wasn't thought of earlier.

This is amazing. The only reason I would ever not reccommend this is because for some reason the effect doesn't work in ZDoom. I don't know why people haven't seen this before, because it's only 2 years old.

      These levels are short, sweet, and pack a lot of punch. Complete with a humorous end-text-screen containing a healthy dose of silly shock-humor, this is a masterful triumph of Heretic map-making, and most certainly a must-play wad.

      A really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.

      Only six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay.   EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.

      Lots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches.   Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.

      It's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
