how to... [make basic stuff using DB]

[Wolfenstein s.s]

can someone tell me how to make stairs,teleporters and doors on doombuilder

Stairs: make lots of sectors and join them together, make the floor a little higher in each one. Make sure to make the ceiling of all the sectors high enough too

Teleporters: Make a sector or line, make it a teleporter and give it a tag number. Now make another sector somewhere else and put a "teleport destination" thing in it, and give the sector the same tag number

Doors: Make a sector between two rooms, make the ceiling the same height as the floor, and make the two lines that touch the rooms into doors. Make sure they face outwards

Check google for the Illistrated Guide to Doom Builder, pretty invaluable. Tells you all of the above, plus some more complex stuffs too.

I also think DB comes with a tutorial file? Not sure though, I never needed it. :P

If you can't figure out how to make stairs yourself then I don't think mapping is for you. :/

Doombuilder is powerful, but can become quite counterintuitive sometimes (e.g. oldskool DEU had an automatic "Build Stairs" function, while in DB you must rely on the built-in sector generation and be careful not to misplace or select a single sidedef in the wrong order, else the sectors won't auto-complete).

Easier way: Create all the sectors and then use 'Gradient Floors'
