Linedef type 37 issues in CL2

Someone else can give a detailed explanation, but basically draw the control sectors first.

MAP01edit.zip

For some reason I can't figure out (and will therefore be made to look stupid if it turns out to be obvious), sectors 0 and 2 are using sector 1 as their model, which isn't valid because it's not at the destination height. The invalid model causes sectors 0 and 2 to not change floor texture, and (more seriously) to change to an invalid special sector type, which is fatal in vanilla.

Drawing control sectors first, as @TimeOfDeath666 recommends, ensures correct behaviour by making the sector on the other side of the lowest-numbered 2-sided linedef both the destination height and the model, which always works. (Perhaps the real mystery is why sectors 1 and 3 do use the intended model sector despite it not having the lowest-numbered 2-sided linedef.)

Ugh.  The actual map is a lot more complicated.  I do not want to redraw it.

Sector surgery time! Find the lowest-numbered 2-sided linedef of the problem sector, and swap it with the 2-sided linedef of the control sector. (Which may be easier said than done, depending on what editor you're using.)

I'm using GZDB and don't see an easy way to do that (but I could be missing it).

I merged a bunch of "on map" sectors, drew the control sectors, then re-drew the original stuff.  It works now, at least.

Thanks for the replies all.

I've had this problem before, and the easiest solution in my opinion is this:

- Create a new map, with just the needed control dummy sectors

- save and close it

- open the actual map in the editor

- mark everything

- open the map with just the control sectors

- paste in the actual map and join the control dummy sectors to its respective parts in the map.

Of course you'll need to to this twice (for architecture first and things afterwards) but I find this method easier than re-drawing stuff, trying to isolate a low-numbered linedef from elsewhere, etc.

I'll try to remember that option for next time. Though hopefully there won't be one!
