Goopymonster Posted June 30, 2020 I've been making a wad, and I've decided to create tower but the thing is when I tried putting a monster in the top of the tower with a cage providing as an opening shoot it at, the cage sprite instead goes black in the spaces instead of being see through. Any help? 0 Share this post Link to post
ViolentBeetle Posted June 30, 2020 You are supposed to use middle texture for grates and bars and the like. Not upper or lower. Those won't be transparent and won't be shootable through either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Goopymonster Posted June 30, 2020 @ViolentBeetle What? that flew over my head can you explain that in a little more detail or a more newbie friendly way? 0 Share this post Link to post
ViolentBeetle Posted June 30, 2020 It would probably be best if you attach your attempt somewhere so me and others would have better ideas what you did. Then it would be clearer. Maybe I assumed what you did wrong entirely incorrectly. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nevander Posted June 30, 2020 Middle textures are just another slot for textures on any line. You have upper, lower, and middle. Typically you will use middle for walls against the void, but out in open areas, middle can be used for this purpose. Edit your tower walls and go to texture selection. Choose middle, and then a grate texture. 0 Share this post Link to post

Goopymonster Posted July 1, 2020 @RonnieJamesDiner Im a little confused can you give me a bit more info on how to make the grates, as in how you extended it up and how you formed the middle space 0 Share this post Link to post
xvertigox Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Just an FYI @Goopymonster that there is a separate subforum for Editing Questions. Edit: @Goopymonster The way it works is the ceiling is lowered and the floor is raised. You texture those as per normal. You then put MIDGRATE to be your 'mid texture'. If you know how to make a raised floor and a lowered ceiling then you can make this. Edited July 1, 2020 by xvertigox 2 Share this post Link to post

The Unofficial WAD Designers' Handbook which explains everything in simple terms. 2. Doom Builder: An Illustrated Guide which explains how to use the editor 3.
