Dead Simple Doors

[DownloadTheseSweetViruses]

Hey how do make a door that opens up after you kill a certain enemy/enemies in doom builder (e.g the doors that open up after you kill the mancubi in "Dead Simple" of Doom II)

That behavior is hardcoded and automatic.

 

If you're using an advanced source port like GZDoom, though, you have more flexibility. If you're talking vanilla-compatible, that's entirely hardcoded - it only works for maps using those slots and those monsters specifically.

Well, yes, but only available to Boom (+Dehacked BEX) and above . Not mentioned in the articles unfortunately.

Right click on the monster in the map editor and select the "actions/tag/misc" tab. There, you'll find a drop down list of actions that can happen when that monster dies, IIRC. Hope this helps.

Can you send a screenshot I can't see it. thank you (sorry for this stupid request.)

You might need to use Ultimate Doombuilder for this function. I can't remember if it is in Doombuilder.

It's basic functionality, of course it's also in Doombuilder. It may just look slightly different. Here's a screenshot from Doom Builder X:

 

 

Note that this opens a door after killing just one enemy. If you wanted the door to only open after killing all the enemies in the area, you'd have to use ACS scripting.

does it have to be doom builder x or any version of doom builder (sorry if this conversation is getting tedious)

[Scypek2]

I'm sure it works in pretty much the same way in any version of Doom Builder.

thank you I'll check one more time

It does depend on the map format. Assigning TIDs to Things will only work if the map is in Doom-in-Hexen or UDMF formats. Vanilla Doom/Boom formats cannot deal with TIDs or ACS scripting.
