Thing elevation in zDoom

[Chris Hansen]

Hello all!

Again, I need a little bit of help, as I'm too dumb to figure this out for myself! I have a sector (a teleport to be precise) in a zDoom map which gets elevated 24 units by a script. There's a particle fountain in this sector. However it doesn't follow the sector, instead it stays in its old position. Which action special should I use in the script to make it follow the sector?

Thanks,
Chris

Give the particle fountain a TID and change its Z height as well when the sector raises.

Particle have the NOBLOCKMAP flag set. If you want the fountain to move with the sector you have to clear this flag through a new DECORATE definition.

For example, for the red particle fountain, define:

ACTOR NewRedParticleFountain : RedParticleFountain 10000
{
	-NOBLOCKMAP
}

If you need a fountain to move down with a sector as well and the fountain is always supposed to be on the ground, add -NOGRAVITY as well.

Thanks, both of you. Tried Graf's suggestion and it worked like a charm! :)
