scifista42 Posted July 12, 2016 If you were mapping in Hexen format or in UDMF, "Block Players" would be available as a linedef flag. But if you are mapping in Doom format, you can't have linedefs that block players but not other things. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted July 12, 2016 In vanilla doom you can have linedef actions that shut doors. If you need monsters to use a path but no players, you could have a linedef action that shuts a door in the players face as he tries to get to an area you don't want him in (107 WR Door Close Stay,) and open up (106 WR Door Open Stay) as he walks away. Monsters can't activate most linedef actions so the monsters will be able to pass through without shutting the door, but you have to make sure the door opens when the player walks away, so the monsters can continue coming through. Depending on the way your map is designed or the circumstances that you need that particular line for, this might not work for you, but it's a potential solution. 0 Share this post Link to post

The reason that you do not find this linedef flag in DOOM format is that it was added specifically to ZDoom by Graf Zahl in Nov. 2009. Now you have to make a choice: Either redo your map in UDMF or Hexen format, which may or may not be feasible, depending on how much work you have put into the map. Or, convert your map from DOOM format to one of the advanced ZDoom formats. To do this have a look here http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=52726 0 Share this post Link to post

The respective editor config's name is even "ZDoom:Hexen" and "ZDoom:UDMF" or something along those lines. 0 Share this post Link to post
Graf Zahl Posted July 12, 2016 There is a possibility to use the extended flags in Doom format, but it requires changing the flag mappings through an XLAT lump. But this is only advisable if upgrading the map format is unfeasible. 0 Share this post Link to post
MathsDevil Posted July 15, 2016 Another potential way round this in vanilla is to have a barrier such as a cage that is impassable but monsters can get 'past' it using Monster-only teleport lines. 0 Share this post Link to post
