How to open a door upon death?

[doom3]

How can I make a door open or make something happen when a certain monster is killed? (Like in e1m8, e2m8, e3m8, and e4m8)

It depends on the enemys your using. It only works on the levels you described, and is reffered to as Sector Tag 666. And it doesnt open a door, it uses line Floor lower to lowest. In Doom2 Map07 tag 666 lowers ther walls for the arachnotrons and tag 667 raises floor to highest texture or something like that.

kinda similar to when you grab a key in E1M4 in the room surrounded by sludge, the door opens. But you can tell, once you step in the area where you took the key again, the doors will open/close again.

This thread is one of several in these forums that contain a fair amount of relevant information (scroll down a bit). This is another. Or have a look through these (that was the result of "Search Forums" for "tag 666 667").

Isnt there a killgroup ACS function somewere? would that do anything?

if you use zdoom assign a Door_Open to the thing, when he dies the door will open ;)

for multiple enimies use thing script:

#include "zcommon.acs"

script 1 OPEN
{
if (ThingCount(ThingType, TID) == 0) {
Door_Open(Tag, Speed);
ACS_Terminate(1, MapNumber);
}
delay(5);
restart;
}
