Activating line specials with ACS? --- [FIXED IT!!]

[Doom-X-Machina]

Hey everyone... wondering if someone out there can help...

Can you activate/deactivate lines with specials on them (ie: 243 End_Normal) via ACS like you can with Thing_Activate/Deactivate?
I know there's a LineSetSpecial call but I'm not quite sure how to use it properly.

Any advice is much appreciated :)


Sorry everyone, I worked out what I was doing wrong. Got it working.

I'm an idiot lol

ClearLineSpecial can be used to clear the special of the line that activated the script. It can't be used on other lines though, for that you'll need to use SetLineSpecial as you mentioned. The usage is pretty simple, just follow the example on the wiki page. The first argument is the line id, second one is the special you want to give that line and the rest are arguments passed to that special. It'll override anything that was there before.

 

However, if you're interested in activating/deactiving the line without altering the special, you can use SetLineActivation to change/remove the activation flags. They can then be returned with another script if needed, without having to redefine the special. Check the wiki examples again for proper usage.

Thankyou for that @Aurelius. Even though I managed to get it working, this is also very helpful and useful for future things :)
