How high/low can sectors be in Zdoom?

[Infinite Ammunition]

The title speaks for itself, no? Yes. And if it dosen't explain itself to you: What I'm asking is how high/low sector tops and bottoms can be in Zdoom-compatible maps.

Edit: Oh damn, are Zdoom questions ok?

32767/-32768

As much as the Doom standard specifies, that is normally 32767/-32768 as Fredrik said.

However, if ZDoom converts them internally to an int (or maybe not, whatever), they could go to -2^31 to 2^31-1 if the Map format supported it also.

No, it doesn't. Sector height are stored as 16.16 fixed point numbers so 32767/-32768 are the absolute limits.

As said, I did not look into the source.

OT. Hm, fractional heights. I think Floor_Waggle uses that.

Fractional heights are mostly required for smooth movement of actors. That's the main reason why it has been done this way (even in Vanilla Doom). Stuff like Floor_Waggle and slopes wouldn't be possible either without them, of course.
