It is designed to be the ultimate reference for effects used in SRB2. As such, it is rather technical in areas and quite concise, and is not something a beginner with level design should be dealing with.</p> <h1><a name="things"></a>Thing Types</h1> <p>In general, thing bitsets have 4 flags and 3 digits for their height. The bitset is 0xAAAB, where AAA is the object's height above ground, and B are the Easy, Normal, Hard, and Deaf flags. To get the bitset on a normal object, multiply the height desired by 16, and then add the existant B. Some objects use 32 as this number, and they will be noted. Objects that multiply by 16 can be placed up to 4095 units in the air, while objects that multiply by 32 can be placed up to 2047 units in the air. <ul> <li><u><big><big>Player Starts</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="t1"></a>1 - Player 01 Start</h3> <p>This is the start for the first player in single player mode, cooperative mode, or race mode. This start must be placed on every map, as it is what the game defaults to if the start it is attempting to find isn't there. If there is no Player 1 Start on the map, and the game is confused over where to spawn the player, the game will crash outright.</p> <p>The Deaf tag will make the player spawn from the ceiling, and the object needs to be multiplied by 32 to give height, not 16.</p> <h3><a name="t2"></a>2 - Player 02 Start</h3> <p>This is the start for the second player in cooperative and race mode.</p> <p>The Deaf tag will make the player spawn from the ceiling, and the object needs to be multiplied by 32 to give height, not 16.</p> <h3><a name="t3"></a>3 - Player 03 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t4"></a>4 - Player 04 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t5"></a>5 - Player 05 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t6"></a>6 - Player 06 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t7"></a>7 - Player 07 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t8"></a>8 - Player 08 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t9"></a>9 - Player 09 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t10"></a>10 - Player 10 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t11"></a>11 - Player 11 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t12"></a>12 - Player 12 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t13"></a>13 - Player 13 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t14"></a>14 - Player 14 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t15"></a>15 - Player 15 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t16"></a>16 - Player 16 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t17"></a>17 - Player 17 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t18"></a>18 - Player 18 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t19"></a>19 - Player 19 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t20"></a>20 - Player 20 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t21"></a>21 - Player 21 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t22"></a>22 - Player 22 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t23"></a>23 - Player 23 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t24"></a>24 - Player 24 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t25"></a>25 - Player 25 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t26"></a>26 - Player 26 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t27"></a>27 - Player 27 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t28"></a>28 - Player 28 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t29"></a>29 - Player 29 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t30"></a>30 - Player 30 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t31"></a>31 - Player 31 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t32"></a>32 - Player 32 Start</h3> <p>See Thing <a href="#t2">2</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="t33"></a>33 - Player Match Start</h3> <p>This is the start for players in Match and Chaos modes. They should also be placed in Capture the Flag maps as well. There should be 32 of these in a map to assure proper randomization. While it's unelegant, they can be stacked on top of each other without negative effect.</p> <p>The Deaf tag will make the player spawn from the ceiling, and the object needs to be multiplied by 32 to give height, not 16.</p> <h3><a name="t34"></a>34 - CTF Team Start (Red)</h3> <p>This is the start for players on the red team in Capture the Flag mode.

They can't move off of cliffs and are exceedingly slow.</p> <h3><a name="t101"></a>101 - Crawla (Red)</h3> <p>These are the red ground enemies found in the one player stages. They can't move off cliffs and are relatively slow.</p> <h3><a name="t102"></a>102 - Stupid Dumb Unnamed RoboFish (tm)</h3> <p>This is the little fish in Greenflower Zone. The angle determines the jump height, with 0 being the old jump style. Note that the jump height is based on force, not units, so experimentation will be necessary to get the correct height.</p> <h3><a name="t103"></a>103 - Yellow Buzz</h3> <p>This enemy flies at a moderate speed directly at the player.</p> <h3><a name="t104"></a>104 - Red Buzz</h3> <p>This enemy flies at a relatively high speed directly at the player.</p> <h3><a name="t105"></a>105 - Jetty-Syn Bomber</h3> <p>This is a highly mobile flying enemy with a bomb that it drops on the player from directly above. It is considered highly difficult to kill, and should only be used in situations where the stage is supposed to be difficult.</p> <h3><a name="t106"></a>106 - Jetty-Syn Gunner</h3> <p>This is a highly mobile flying enemy with a gun that it fires at the player with high accuracy. It is considered highly difficult to kill, and should only be used in situations where the stage is supposed to be difficult.</p> <h3><a name="t107"></a>107 - Crawla Commander</h3> <p>This is the grey floating enemy in the opening room of Techno Hill Zone Act 2. It is quite fast and will start bouncing after taking the first hit. It is significantly challenging, although a spindash will kill it given time.</p> <h3><a name="t108"></a>108 - Deton</h3> <p>This is the red spherical enemy in Techno Hill Zone Act 2. Upon seeing the player, it makes a mad dash straight for them. With the exception of the <a href="#t404">Armageddon Shield</a>, Detons are invincible, and must be avoided by running behind a wall or another enemy.</p> <h3><a name="t109"></a>109 - Skim</h3> <p>This is an enemy that floats on the surface of the water, dropping bombs into the water below. It is not currently used in any of the Single Player stages, but it is fully operational. The designer does not have to put them on the surface of the water, they know where it is.</p> <h3><a name="t110"></a>110 - THZ Turret</h3> <p>This is the turret from Techno Hill Zone Act 2. It fires large bursts of laser fire at the player with high accuracy. It is invincible unless it is somehow dipped into water.</p> <h3><a name="t111"></a>111 - Popup Turret</h3> <p>This is a small turret that pops up now and then and shoots. The object's angle is a value defining the delay between shooting.</p> <h3><a name="t112"></a>112 - Sharp</h3> <p>This is a blue enemy with spikes on top if it. It starts off by slowly chasing the player, then it fades to red and runs after the player, and is invincible until it fades back to red.</p> <h3><a name="t113"></a>113 � Jet Jaw</h3> <p>This is an underwater enemy that tries to bite at the player, which can be found in Deep Sea Zone.</p> <h3><a name="t114"></a>114 � Snailer</h3> <p>This is an incomplete enemy.</p> <h3><a name="t115"></a>115 � Bird Aircraft Strike Hazard (B.A.S.H.)</h3> <p>This is the red vulture-like enemy in Arid Canyon Zone. If it sees a player, it lifts off and charges at him. Collision with a wall will send it plummeting.</p> <h3><a name="t116"></a>116 � Pointy</h3> <p>This is the orbinaut enemy that has spikes circling around it. None of the single player stages currently use him. You have to place him in a map by using a WAD editor, he can't be placed using objectplace.</p> <h3><a name="t117"></a>117 � Robo-Hood</h3> <p>This is the green enemy from Castle Eggman Zone, which shoots arrows at the player.</p> <h3><a name="t118"></a>118 � CastleBot FaceStabber</h3> <p>This is the large grey enemy from Castle Eggman Zone. It slowly trudges towards the player, and if the player in range, lunges at them with his sword.</p> <h3><a name="t119"></a>119 � Egg Guard</h3> <p>This is the enemy from Castle Eggman Zone that wields a protective shield.</p> <h3><a name="t120"></a>120 � Green Snapper</h3> <p>This is the green turtle enemy from Arid Canyon Zone. This enemy behaves exactly like a blue crawla does. The circumference of its shell is covered with spikes, so the only way to destroy it is by jumping on top of it.</p> <h3><a name="t121"></a>121 � Minus</h3> <p>This is the digging enemy from Arid Canyon Zone. It burrows underground towards the player, and once it's directly underneath, it bursts out from under the ground, jumping up and hurting the player.</p> <p> </p> </ol> </li> <li><u><big><big>Bosses and their associated items (if any)</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="t200"></a>200 - Egg Mobile (Boss 1)</h3> <p>The boss of Greenflower Zone and Castle Eggman Zone. He moves around firing at the player, and after taking six hits, he dashes at the player.</p> <p>Giving the boss the Deaf flag will make him have spikeballs, like CEZ3, and giving him the Multi flag will make the level end when he is dead. To place him above ground, multiply by 32 to give height, not 16.</p> <h3><a name="t201"></a>201 - Egg Slimer (Boss 2)</h3> <p>This is the boss of Techno Hill Zone. It requires an axis point at the center to function, and it goes in a circle around the axis point dropping slime. After 6 hits, he stops going in a circle, and bouncing at the player, spewing a lot more slime.</p> <p>The Multi flag will make the level end when he is dead.</p> <h3><a name="t201"></a>202 - Sea Egg (Boss 3)</h3> <p>This is the boss of Deep Sea Zone. More information will be supplied later.</p> <p>The Multi flag will make the level end when he is dead.</p> <h3>203 - Eggscalibur (Boss 4)</h3> <p>This is the boss of Castle Eggman Zone.

Pick this up to get one ring.</p> <p>Giving the deaf tag to a ring will cause it to float 31 units above the ground. This does stack with bitsets, allowing rings to be a total of 4127 units above the ground at maximum.</p> <h3><a name="t301"></a>301 - Bounce Ring</h3> <p>Picking this up gives you more ammo for this particular ring weapon. You cannot fire the weapon, however, if you do not have the associated panel. <h3><a name="t302"></a>302 - Rail Ring</h3> <p>See thing <a href="#t301">#301</a>.</p> <h3><a name="t304"></a>304 - Automatic Ring</h3> <p>See thing <a href="#t301">#301</a>.</p> <h3><a name="t305"></a>305 - Explosion Ring</h3> <p>See thing <a href="#t301">#301</a>.</p> <h3><a name="t305"></a>306 - Scatter Ring</h3> <p>See thing <a href="#t301">#301</a>.</p> <h3><a name="t305"></a>307 - Grenade Ring</h3> <p>See thing <a href="#t301">#301</a>.</p> <h3>310 - CTF Flag (Red)</h3> <p>This is the red team's flag in capture the flag mode. If the blue team takes this to their team base (sector type <a href="#s16384">16384</a>), they score a point.</p> <h3><a name="t307"></a>311 - CTF Flag (Blue)</h3> <p>This is the blue team's flag in capture the flag mode. If the red team takes this to their team base (sector type <a href="#s12288">12288</a>), they score a point.</p> <h3><a name="t308"></a>312 - Special Stage Token</h3> <p>This token gives the player a chance at the special stage after the current stage has ended. If more than one token is collected, the player gets that many chances at the special stages, continuing until they run out of tokens or have all the emeralds.</p> <h3><a name="t309"></a>313 - Emerald 1 (Green)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the first emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t310"></a>314 - Emerald 2 (Orange)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the second emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t311"></a>315 - Emerald 3 (Pink)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the third emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t312"></a>316 - Emerald 4 (Blue)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the fourth emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t313"></a>317 - Emerald 5 (Red)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the fifth emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t314"></a>318 - Emerald 6 (Light Blue)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the sixth emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t315"></a>319 - Emerald 7 (Grey)</h3> <p>This object gives the player the seventh emerald as a pickup object, instead of by completing a special stage.</p> <h3><a name="t316"></a>320 - Emerald Hunt Location</h3> <p>This is one of the three emeralds to be used in Hunting mode.</p> <h3>323 - Emerald Spawn</h3> <p>Spawn location for emeralds in Match mode.</p> <h3><a name="t330"></a>330 - Bounce Ring Panel</h3> <p>This is a match weapon panel. The Bounce Ring throws a slow ring that will bounce when it hits walls.</p> <p>Giving the deaf tag to a panel will cause it to float 31 units above the ground. This does stack with bitsets, allowing panels to be a total of 4127 units above the ground at maximum.</p> <h3><a name="t331"></a>331 - Rail Ring Panel</h3> <p>This is a match weapon panel. The Rail Ring gives the player an instantaneous shot, that strikes its target the instant its fired, however there is a long downtime between shots. Being shot by a rail ring causes more kickback than normal.</p> <p>Giving the deaf tag to a panel will cause it to float 31 units above the ground. This does stack with bitsets, allowing panels to be a total of 4127 units above the ground at maximum.</p> <h3><a name="t332"></a>332 - Automatic Ring Panel</h3> <p>This is a match weapon panel.

Being struck directly by the Explosion Ring causes more kickback than usual.</p> <p>Giving the deaf tag to a panel will cause it to float 31 units above the ground. This does stack with bitsets, allowing panels to be a total of 4127 units above the ground at maximum.</p> <h3><a name="t334"></a>334 - Scatter Ring Panel</h3> <p>This is a match weapon panel. The Scatter Ring throws 5 rings in a plus-shape.</p> <p>Giving the deaf tag to a panel will cause it to float 31 units above the ground.

Elsewise, they will respawn as the same monitor.</p> <h3><a name="t404"></a>404 - Armageddon Shield</h3> <p>Also known as the black shield, this shield protects the player from a single hit, triggering upon a hit. The shield can also be triggered by jumping, and then hitting the spin key in midair. When the shield is triggered, a flash of light damages everything within a large radius, destroying the shield in the process.</p> <p>If monitors are given the Deaf tag, they will respawn as a random monitor type (not a ? monitor) from the weighted table in modes that support respawn. Elsewise, they will respawn as the same monitor.</p> <h3><a name="t405"></a>405 - Whirlwind Shield</h3> <p>This shield protects the player from a single hit, then disappears. If the player does a jump-spin, they will do a second jump in midair, making the maximum height that the player can jump with the shield 224.</p> <p>Versions of SRB2 previous to 1.09 had the Basic Shield in this object number, so make sure to note that if the player loads the map in an older version, that is what they will see.</p> <p>If monitors are given the Deaf tag, they will respawn as a random monitor type (not a ? monitor) from the weighted table in modes that support respawn. Elsewise, they will respawn as the same monitor.</p> <h3><a name="t406"></a>406 - Elemental Shield</h3> <p>Also known as the green shield, this shield protects the player from a single hit, then disappears.

When the player with this shield spin-dashes, it leaves a trail of fire, which deals fire damage to any enemy that touches it.</p> <p>If monitors are given the Deaf tag, they will respawn as a random monitor type (not a ? monitor) from the weighted table in modes that support respawn. Elsewise, they will respawn as the same monitor.</p> <h3><a name="t407"></a>407 - Super Sneakers</h3> <p>This is a monitor powerup that gives the player about 2x running speed for 20 seconds.</p> <h3><a name="t408"></a>408 - Invincibility</h3> <p>This is a monitor powerup that prevents all damage to the player for 20 seconds.</p> <h3><a name="t409"></a>409 - Extra Life</h3> <p>This powerup monitor features the player's face, and provides an extra life when struck.</p> <p>If monitors are given the Deaf tag, they will respawn as a random monitor type (not a ? monitor) from the weighted table in modes that support respawn.

Elsewise, they will respawn as the same monitor.</p> <h3><a name="t412"></a>412 - Random Box</h3> <p>Destroy this monitor and you will get a random powerup, like the boxes in Sonic 2 race mode.</p> <h3><a name="t412"></a>413 - Gravity Boots Box</h3> <p>Destroy this monitor and the gravity will be flipped for a short time.</p> <p> </p> </ol> </li> <li><u><big><big>Interactive Objects (friendly or otherwise)</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="t500"></a>500 - Air Bubble Patch</h3> <p>This is the air bubble patch used underwater to give players air. It spawns big bubbles randomly which replenish the player's air.</p> <h3><a name="t501"></a>501 - End Level Sign</h3> <p>This is the sign at the end of the stage. When the player enters the <a href="#s8192">Exit Sector</a>, this sign will start to spin, and end on the face of the player. This sign does not make the stage end, it's just a visual effect for it.</p> <h3><a name="t502"></a>502 - Star Post</h3> <p>Star Posts allow the player to respawn after dying at a point other than the beginning of the stage. There can be up to 32 Star Posts in a map, and they work with the bitsets.</p> <p>Instead of controlling the difficulty and deaf flags, the final digit of the bitset determines the number of the Star Post. 0x0000 is the first one and 0x000f is the sixteenth one. Note that since this overwrites all of the difficulty flags, they will appear in all difficulties, even though 0x0000 would normally mean it wouldn't appear in any difficulty level.</p> <h3><a name="t520"></a>520 - Spikeball</h3> <p>Just like thing <a href="#t521">521</a>, except they do normal damage to the player on contact. </p> <h3><a name="t521"></a>521 - Spikeball (Special Stage)</h3> <p>These are the spikeballs used in the special stages. They harm the player for damage on contact, but only if they are carrying rings.</p> <h3><a name="t522"></a>522 - Ceiling Spike</h3> <p>This is a downward pointing spike for use on the ceiling. Touching the pointy end of the spike deals damage to the player.</p> <p>By default, it attaches itself to the ceiling, and the height part of the bitset measures how far down from the ceiling, instead of up from the floor.</p> <h3><a name="t523"></a>523 - Floor Spike</h3> <p>This is a upward pointing spike for use on the floor. Touching the pointy end of the spike deals damage to the player.</p> <h3><a name="t524"></a>524 - Big Floating Mine</h3> <p>When you get close, this mine will start to follow you. Touches you, and it explodes.</p> <h3><a name="t540"></a>540 - THZ Fan</h3> <p>This is the fan used inside the secret passage in Techno Hill Zone Act 1. It pushes the player slowly up until it reaches the maximum height it can. The maximum height is determined by the angle, measured in normal fracunits (It can go above 360 just fine).</p> <h3><a name="t541"></a>541 - THZ Gas Jet</h3> <p>This is the gas jet used at the end of Techno Hill Zone Act 1. It launches the player straight up on regular intervals about the same height as a yellow spring pointing up.</p> <h3><a name="t550"></a>550 - Yellow Spring (Up)</h3> <p>This is a yellow spring pointing straight up. It has a medium amount of force behind it.</p> <h3><a name="t551"></a>551 - Red Spring (Up)</h3> <p>This is a red spring pointing straight up. It has a large amount of force behind it.</p> <h3><a name="t552"></a>552 - Blue Spring</h3> <p>This is a blue spring pointing straight up. It has a small amount of force behind it.

The floor height of the control sector is used. If it is 1000, then the target sector will have 100% gravity. If it is 500, the target sector will have 50% of the global gravity. Negative values work as well, but players can't jump down; they'll get stuck to the ceiling, unless the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is checked.</p> <p>You can apply this special to the control sector of an intangible FOF to change the gravity only inside that FOF.</p> <h3><a name="l2"></a>2 - Custom Exit</h3> <p>Tag this to an Exit Sector (type <a href="#s8192">8192</a>) to exit to a custom level, overriding the one set in the map header. The map number you go to is indicated by the front sector's floor. Additionally, if the control linedef's bitset is set to disallow climbing (with the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> attribute, whose value is 64), skip the score tally screen when switching to the new map.</p> <p>If the control linedef has the <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag set, this effect does something super complicated and fun, going to a different level depending on whether the player has all emeralds or not. If the player has seven emeralds, the linedef's front sector's ceiling height will be used. Otherwise, go to the map number indicated by the linedef's front sector's floor. That's <i>only</i> if you set the <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag.</p> <p>If the <a href="#EFFECT4">EFFECT4</a> flag is set, the linedef's front side x offset will be used as the new gametype after the map change, providing it is in range (from 0 to 4, inclusive).</p> <h3><a name="l3"></a>3 - Zoom Tube Parameters</h3> <p>X length = speed. Y length = waypoint sequence #. See sector type <a href="#s32768">32768</a> for more information.</p> <h3><a name="l4"></a>4 - Speed Pad</h3> <p>Creates a speed pad. The linedef direction and indicates the direction of the pad. The target sector must have type <a href="#s1280">1280</a> or <a href="#s1536">1536</a> for this to work.</p> <p>If the <a href="#EFFECT4">EFFECT4</a> flag is set, you will not be teleported to the center of the sector when the speed pad is activated.</p> <h3><a name="l5"></a>5 - Camera Scanner</h3> <p>Modifies camera position while the player is in the target sector. The floor and ceiling of the control sector and the angle of the control linedef are the values for CAM_HEIGHT, CAM_DIST, and CAM_ROTATE, respectively. Camera position is reset when the player steps outside the sector.</p> <h3><a name="l6"></a>6 - Disable Linedef</h3> <p>Disables any linedef specials that share the same tag. Will be used in the future to check if a particular level has been previously cleared or not.</p> <h3><a name="l7"></a>7 - Flat Alignment</h3> <p>Aligns floor and/or ceiling flats. The x alignment is specified by the control linedef's x distance (the difference between the x values of its two vertices), and the y alignment is specified by the control linedef's y distance.</p> <p>By default, works on both the floor and ceiling (however, note that skies cannot be "aligned" ;). Adding the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag to the linedef will align the floor only, while the <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag will make it align the ceiling only.</p> <h3><a name="l8"></a>8 - Sector Special Parameters</h3> <p>Sets special behavior of a sector's type depending on the flag(s) checked:</p> <p><a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> - Special only operates when touching ceiling</p> <p><a href="#EFFECT4">EFFECT4</a> - Special operates when touching either the floor or the ceiling</p> <p><a href="#EFFECT3">EFFECT3</a> - Special operates by just touching the sector, rather than having to be inside of it.</p> <h3><a name="l9"></a>9 - Chain Parameters</h3> <p>Sets special behavior of a moving chain as such:</p> <p>x length - # of links on the chain</p> <p>y length - Overall speed (0-15)</p> <p>X offset - Rotation speed on the X axis (0-15)</p> <p>Y offset - Rotation speed on the Z axis (0-15)</p> <p>floorheight - angle to start at (0-15)</p> <p>ceilingheight - maximum rotation speed</p> <h3><a name="l10"></a>10 - Culling Plane</h3> <p>Set like <a href="#l1">line 1</a>, this creates an invisible plane in the sector. If your view is above this plane, lots of things drawn below the height of this plane will be discarded, and if your view is below the plane, a lot of things drawn above the height of the plane will be discarded. This is to tell the game to not draw stuff that you aren't going to see anyway. Do note that the view doesn't have to be in the current sector, you can also be viewing from the side, which may be undesirable. To prevent this problem, you can check the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, which will allow you to 'group' a set of sectors to one control sector in which the culling will only take effect. For example, you have a control sector set up for culling, and have two culling lines in the control sector, tagged to sectors 'A' and 'B'. If the player is in sector 'A' or 'B', the culling will occur, but if the player is in sector 'C', it will not.</p> <h3>11 - Rope Hang Parameters</h3> <p>X length = speed. Y length = waypoint sequence #.</p> <p>EFFECT1 - Don't wrap movement</p> <p>See sector type 45056 for more information.</p> <h3>12 - Rock Spawn Parameters</h3> <p>Sets special behavior of a rock spawner (#1202) as such:</p> <p>length - momentum strength</p> <p>line angle - momentum angle</p> <p>X offset - # of tics to wait until another is spawned</p> <p>Y offset - Rock crumble sprite to use (0-15)</p> <p>NOCLIMB - add some randomization to the momentum</p> <p> </p> <h3>13 - Heat Wave</h3> <p>Applies a heat effect to the screen. Tag this to a sector, or to the control sector of a FOF.</p> <p> </p> </ol> </li> <li><u><big><big>Level Parameters / Miscellany</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="l20"></a>20 - Marks first line in PolyObject</h3> <p>Explain here.</p> <h3><a name="l21"></a>21 - Explicitly include a PolyObject line</h3> <p>Explain here.</p> <h3><a name="l30"></a>30 - PolyObject Parameters</h3> <p>Explain here.</p> <p> </p> </ol> </li> <li><u><big><big>Level-Load Effects</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="l50"></a>50 - Instant Floor Lower</h3> <p>Makes the floor instantly lower on level load to be at the same height as the lowest floor of any bordering sector.</p> <h3><a name="l51"></a>51 - Instant Ceiling Raise</h3> <p>Makes the ceiling instantly rise on level load to be the same height as the highest ceiling of any bordering sector.</p> <h3><a name="l52"></a>52 - Continuously Falling Sector</h3> <p>Requires two control sectors. Sector continuously falls until its ceiling reaches the floor of the line's back sector, then returns to its original position and keeps falling. Linedef length determines speed. Good for things like intermittently falling lava. If the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set, it falls upwards, instead of downwards.</p> <h3><a name="l53"></a>53 - Continuous Floor/Ceiling Mover</h3> <p>Must be a two-sided linedef, tagged to another sector on the map. The tagged sector's floor and ceiling will move, first so that they're equal to the floor and ceiling of the linedef's front sector, then so they're equal to the floor and ceiling of the linedef's back sector, then the front sector again, and so on.</p> <p>The speed of the movement is determined by the linedef's length and uses the same units as linetype <a href="#l60">60</a>.</p> <h3><a name="l54"></a>54 - Continuous Floor Mover</h3> <p>Like linetype <a href="#l53">53</a>, but only moves the floor, not the ceiling. Can be used to replace floating platforms in some cases, where only the floor was desired to move.</p> <h3><a name="l55"></a>55 - Continuous Ceiling Mover</h3> <p>Like linetype <a href="#l53">53</a>, but only moves the ceiling, not the floor.</p> <h3><a name="l56"></a>56 - Continuous Two-Speed Floor/Ceiling Mover</h3> <p>Must be a two-sided linedef, tagged to another sector on the map. The tagged sector's floor and ceiling will move, first so that they're equal to the floor and ceiling of the linedef's front sector, then so they're equal to the floor and ceiling of the linedef's back sector, then the front sector again, and so on.</p> <p>The speed of the movement is determined by the linedef's x distance (the first way, towards the front sector) and y distance (the second way, towards the back sector), using the same units as linetype <a href="#l60">60</a>.</p> <p>Unlike linetype <a href="#l53">53</a>, this effect does not slow down when it reaches the end of its movement. Instead, it changes instantly from going in one direction to going in the other. It's designed for making more sophisticated crushers than the crusher type allows (i.e. crushers with varying rise/crush speeds, FOF crushers, crushers with different start points).</p> <h3><a name="l57"></a>57 - Continuous Two-Speed Floor Mover</h3> <p>Like linetype <a href="#l56">56</a>, but only moves the floor, not the ceiling.</p> <h3><a name="l58"></a>58 - Continuous Two-Speed Ceiling Mover</h3> <p>Like linetype <a href="#l56">56</a>, but only moves the ceiling, not the floor.</p> <h3><a name="l59"></a>59 - Activate Floating Platform</h3> <p>This is used to make floating platforms (that move up and down) as well as moving water. In fact, you can use this to make any type of block move vertically. The way it works is somewhat confusing - You use three control sectors, all connected by at least one linedef. Easiest thing to do is make three square sectors together in a row. One of the linedefs on the middle sector should contain the Floor Over Floor line special that you want. This will be the Floor Over Floor control sector. The other two sectors represent the bottommost position you want the Floor Over Floor to reach, and the topmost position you want the Floor Over Floor to reach. The 59 line can be on any of these sectors, as long as you tag it to the middle one. If you still don't understand, look at Greenflower Zone Act 2. If the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set, the platform will begin moving upwards, rather than downwards.</p> <h3><a name="l60"></a>60 - Activate Floating Platform (Adjustable Speed)</h3> <p>Speed is indicated by linedef length; one unit of speed here is 0.25 fracunits per tic. (Floating platforms made with type <a href="#l59">59</a> move at 2 fracunits per tic.) Aside from the linedef length controlling speed, works exactly like linedef type <a href="#l59">59</a>.</p> <h3><a name="l61"></a>61 - Crusher 1 (Ceiling to Floor)</h3> <p>The crush motion is from the ceiling to the floor. Linedef length indicates crusher speed. See also linetype <a href="#l62">62</a>, Crusher 2.</p> <h3><a name="l62"></a>62 - Crusher 2 (Floor to Ceiling)</h3> <p>Like linetype <a href="#l61">61</a>, Crusher 1, except that it starts in a different place, not synchronised with any crushers that use the Crusher 1 type. The highest ceiling this crusher reaches will be the highest ceiling height of any bordering sector.</p> <h3><a name="l63"></a>63 - Fake Floor</h3> <p>Creates two fake planes, fake floor and fake ceiling. Main textures are not affected, but as far as above/below textures and floor/ceiling flats are concerned, the floor and ceiling height are those of the control sector. As far as collisions, walking, etc. are concerned, the floor and ceiling flats are whatever they normally would be.</p> <p>Fake floor is useful for railings (THZRAIL and WOODRAIL; see THZ2 for examples) and snow effects (making a fake floor of snow just a few units above normal floor, so it looks like the player's feet are buried in the snow).</p> <h3><a name="l64"></a>64 - Appearing/Disappearing FOF</h3> <p>Tag this to any FOF <i>line</i> and this will cause it to appear and disappear intermittently. The line's X length is the amount of time (in tics) that the FOF will appear, and Y length is the amount of time (in tics) that the FOF will disappear. The control sector's floor height allows you to specify an offset (in tics) of how much time will pass before the appearing/disappearing kicks in.</p> <p> </p> </ol> </li> <li><u><big><big>Floor-Over-Floors (FOFs)</big></big></u><ol> <h3><a name="l100"></a>100 - Floor Over Floor: Solid, Opaque, Shadowcasting</h3> <p>This is just a regular old FOF. As with any block, the ceiling of the control sector is the top of the block, and the floor of the control sector is the bottom. "Shadowcasting" means that the light value used in the control sector is used for the area below where the actual FOF appears, as opposed to above it.</p> <!--Exact FOF flags: FF_EXISTS|FF_SOLID|FF_RENDERALL|FF_CUTLEVEL--> <h3><a name="l101"></a>101 - Floor Over Floor: Solid, Opaque, Non-Shadowcasting</h3> <p>See notes for <a href="#l100">100</a>.

The GLASSTEX texture is good for this purpose. You can change the alpha value of the translucency by setting the control linedef's Above texture to a # followed by a three-digit decimal number, 000 to 255. #000 is most transparent, #255 is most opaque. Note that in software mode, there are actually only ten different values that serve as a 'best guess'.</p> <!--Exact FOF flags: FF_EXISTS|FF_SOLID|FF_RENDERALL|FF_NOSHADE|FF_TRANSLUCENT|FF_EXTRA|FF_CUTEXTRA--> <h3><a name="l103"></a>103 - Floor Over Floor: Solid, Sides Only</h3> <p>A solid FOF that renders sides only, not planes (floor and ceiling). You were supposed to be able to use it to place railings (THZRAIL, WOODRAIL, etc.) on FOFs. It doesn't work for that, because the railings use a different kind of transparency and software mode won't draw them on FOFs.

This is like what linetype <a href="#l400">400</a> does.</p> <p>If the line used has <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag, another linedef executor will be run when the floor movement is finished. (If multiple sectors finish at different times, it goes by the lowest numbered sector, but you should probably try to avoid this scenario.) The tag of the new linedef executor to run is specified by the X alignment on the front side of the line. The tag number you use must be positive, and this functionality cannot be combined with changing the floor flat using the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag. Running a linedef executor will take precedence over changing the floor flat.</p> <h3><a name="l404"></a>404 - Linedef Executor: Move Tagged Sector's Ceiling</h3> <p>When executed, starts moving the tagged sector's ceiling until it is at the same height as the linedef's front sector's ceiling. Speed is indicated in the same units used by linetype <a href="#l60">60</a>.</p> <p>If the line used has <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, the ceiling flat will change after the move, to that on the front sector's ceiling. This is like what linetype <a href="#l401">401</a> does.</p> <p>If the line used has <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag, another linedef executor will be run when the ceiling movement is finished. (If multiple sectors finish at different times, it goes by the lowest numbered sector, but you should probably try to avoid this scenario.)

The new tag is the linedef's length.</p> <h3><a name="l410"></a>410 - Linedef Executor: Change Front Sector's Tag</h3> <p>Changes the tag of the linedef's front sector. The new tag is the linedef's length.</p> <h3><a name="l411"></a>411 - Linedef Executor: Stop Plane Movement</h3> <p>Stops any and all floor, ceiling, or elevator movement in the tagged sector or sectors.</p> <h2><a name="l412"></a>412 - Linedef Executor: Teleport Player to Tagged Sector</h2> <p>The player who triggered the linedef executor will be teleported to the tagged sector. The player's exact X, Y, Z, and angle are determined by a teleport destination thing, type <a href="#t751">751</a>, somewhere in the tagged sector.</p> <p>If the <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> flag is used, it won't flash and make the teleport sound effects. If the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is used, it won't reset the angle to the angle of the teleport destination thing, and if the <a href="#EFFECT4">EFFECT4</a> flag is used, it will not kill your acceleration/speed upon teleport.</p> <h2><a name="l413"></a>413 - Linedef Executor: Change Music</h2> <p>Linedef length indicates the music slot to use. If the linedef's <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set, play the music once, otherwise loop it.</p> <p>If the player dies and goes back to a starpost, the beginning of the level, or the appropriate multiplayer start, the map music from before will be restored. The linedef flag <a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a> can be set to change this behavior, and retain the new music even after dying.</p> <p>If the linedef length isn't a valid music slot, the music is stopped.</p> <h3><a name="l414"></a>414 - Linedef Executor: Play SFX</h3> <p>Plays a sound effect. The line length is the sound number to use. The list of sound effects can be found in sounds.h. The origin of the sound depends on which linedef flags are set: <ul> <li><a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> : The sound is played from nowhere, but only for the player who triggered it.</li> <li><a href="#EFFECT4">EFFECT4</a>: The sound is played from nowhere for everyone.</li> <li><a href="#BLOCKMONSTERS">BLOCKMONSTERS</a>: The sound is played from the center of the sector that triggered the linedef executor.</li> </ul> <p>Otherwise, the sound is played from the location of the player or thing who triggered it.</p> <h3><a name="l415"></a>415 - Linedef Executor: Run Script</h3> <p>Runs a script, the same kind of script you can run on level load with the level header scriptname attribute. The script that will be run should have a lumpname of the form SCR<i>xxyyy</i>, where <i>xx</i> is the two-digit map number and <i>yyy</i> is the linedef's sector's floor height in decimal, with leading zeroes as necessary (or 000 if the floor height exceeds 999 fracunits). For instance, if the linedef is in MAP31 and the floor of its sector is 337 fracunits, the script named SCR31337 will be run.</p> <h3><a name="l416"></a>416 - Linedef Executor: Start Adjustable Fire Flicker</h3> <p>Essentially a copy of linetype <a href="#l603">603</a> that waits to activate until the linedef executor is triggered. It does have an extra feature, though. If you use a two-sided linedef with the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, the linedef's back sector will be used as the maximum light level, allowing you to set the target sector (or sectors) at a different starting light level entirely.</p> <h3><a name="l417"></a>417 - Linedef Executor: Start Adjustable Glowing Light</h3> <p>Essentially a copy of linetype <a href="#l602">602</a> that waits to activate until the linedef executor is triggered. It does have an extra feature, though. If you use a two-sided linedef with the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, the linedef's back sector will be used as the maximum light level, allowing you to set the target sector (or sectors) at a different starting light level entirely.</p> <h3><a name="l418"></a>418 - Linedef Executor: Start Adjustable Blinking Light (unsynchronized)</h3> <p>Essentially a copy of linetype <a href="#l604">604</a> that waits to activate until the linedef executor is triggered. It does have an extra feature, though. If you use a two-sided linedef with the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, the linedef's back sector will be used as the maximum light level, allowing you to set the target sector (or sectors) at a different starting light level entirely.</p> <h3><a name="l419"></a>419 - Linedef Executor: Start Adjustable Blinking Light (synchronized)</h3> <p>Essentially a copy of linetype <a href="#l605">605</a> that waits to activate until the linedef executor is triggered. It does have an extra feature, though. If you use a two-sided linedef with the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, the linedef's back sector will be used as the maximum light level, allowing you to set the target sector (or sectors) at a different starting light level entirely.</p> <h3><a name="l420"></a>420 - Linedef Executor: Fade Light Level</h3> <p>When executed, gradually fades the tagged sector's light level to that of the linedef's front sector. Floor and ceiling light settings done with linetypes <a href="#l601">601</a> and <a href="#l600">600</a> are not affected or used.</p> <p>If there is a lighting effect already active in the target sector or sectors at the time (glow, other fade, strobe, flicker), it will be halted in favor of this one.</p> <p>Linedef length in fracunits indicates speed. Fading from 224 to 64 with a linedef length of 4 will take 40 fracunits (224 - 64 = 160, 160 / 4 = 40). There are 35 fracunits in a second.</p> <h3><a name="l421"></a>421 - Linedef Executor: Stop Lighting Effect</h3> <p>Stops any lighting effects active in the tagged sector or sectors: glow, fade, strobe, flicker, etc. The light level, whatever it is at the moment this script line is run, will be preserved until a new lighting effect or light level change is used.</p> <p>Note that the lighting effects will all stop other lighting effects when activated. In other words, you only need to use this when you really want the lighting effect to stop, not when you want one effect to stop and another to start.</p> <h3><a name="l422"></a>422 - Linedef Executor: Cut-Away View</h3> <p>Cuts away to a view from a different place for a moment. Only works for linedef executors triggered by a player. Tag the line to a sector with an alt view thing (map thing type 5007) in it at the proper location with the proper Z and angle. The line length indicates how long to stay in this view, in tics.</p> <p>By giving the linedef a <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag, you can adjust the vertical viewing angle from the cut-away view. Set the x offset on the linedef's front side to an integer -90 to 90. In software mode the range of viewing angles is actually about -68 to 68. This is in degrees.</p> <h3><a name="l423"></a>423 - Linedef Executor: Change Sky</h3> <p>Changes sky to the # of the control sector's floorheight. This only affects the player who activates it. If you'd like it to affect all players, make sure you check the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag.</p> <h3><a name="l424"></a>424 - Linedef Executor: Change Weather</h3> <p>Changes weather to the control sector's floorheight in powers of 10.</p> <p>Example:</p> <div align="left"><table border="1" width="28%"> <tr> <td width="50%">Linedef Length</td> <td width="50%">Weather Type</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">10</td> <td width="50%">None</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">20</td> <td width="50%">Snow</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">30</td> <td width="50%">Rain</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="50%">40</td> <td width="50%">Storm</td> </tr> </table> </div><p>(higher numbers reserved for future use)</p> <p>This only affects the player who activates it. If you'd like it to affect all players, make sure you check the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag.</p> <h3><a name="l425"></a>425 - Linedef Executor: Change Object State</h3> <p>Changes the animation frame of the activating object to the state # indicated by the length of the control linedef. Be careful how you use this.</p> <h3><a name="l426"></a>426 - Linedef Executor: Stop Object</h3> <p>Makes the object that triggered the linedef executor stop moving, after being sent to the center of the sector it's in (only if <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set), on the floor. Although it comes to a complete stop, the object can begin moving right away again. If the object is a player, the player will stop jumping, spinning, or anything else.</p> <h3><a name="l427"></a>427 - Linedef Executor: Award Score</h3> <p>Adds to the score of the player who activated it. Control sector's floorheight = points to award. This even works with negative values.</p> <h3><a name="l428"></a>428 - Linedef Executor: Start Platform Movement</h3> <p>Starts a moving platform in the nature of linetype <a href="#l59">59</a> or <a href="#l60">60</a>. If the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set, the platform will begin moving upwards. Otherwise, it will start moving downwards. Speed of movement is set just like with linetype <a href="#l60">60</a>.</p> <h3><a name="l429"></a>429 - Linedef Executor: Crush Ceiling Once</h3> <p>Ceiling moves down to the floor, then back up. Speed is determined by line length - every 16 units equals 1 FRACUNIT/tic.</p> <h3><a name="l430"></a>430 - Linedef Executor: Crush Floor Once</h3> <p>Floor moves up to the ceiling, then back down. Speed is determined by line length - every 16 units equals 1 FRACUNIT/tic.</p> <h3><a name="l431"></a>431 - Linedef Executor: Crush Floor And Ceiling Once</h3> <p>Floor and ceiling meet in the middle and then return, sandwiching anything that's inbetween. Speed is determined by line length - every 16 units equals 1 FRACUNIT/tic.</p> <h3><a name="l432"></a>432 - Linedef Executor: Enable 2D Mode</h3> <p>Turns on 2D mode within the level. You'll probably only want to use this with a zoom tube or teleport to guarantee that the player is in the correct position when it switches.</p> <h3><a name="l433"></a>433 - Linedef Executor: Disable 2D Mode</h3> <p>Turns off 2D mode within the level.</p> <h3><a name="l434"></a>434 - Linedef Executor: Award Custom Power</h3> <p>Awards (or removes!) a power to the calling player.</p> <p>X length: Power Index + 1</p> <p>Y length: Power Duration (in 35ths of a second)</p> <h3><a name="l435"></a>435 - Linedef Executor: Change Scroller Direction</h3> <p>Changes direction of a scroller (conveyor, texture). Also changes speed if this is not an accelerative/displacement scroller.</p> <h3><a name="l436"></a>436 - Linedef Executor: Shatter Block</h3> <p>Shatters a FOF - of any type. Parameters are as follows:</p> <p>Texture X Offset: Tag # of FOF target sector</p> <p>Texture Y Offset: Tag # of FOF control sector</p> <p>Note that the FOF should only have one target sector.</p> <h3><a name="l437"></a>437 - Linedef Executor: Disable Player Control</h3> <p>Disables the controls of the player that triggered the linedef executor. If the <a href="#NOCLIMB">NOCLIMB</a> flag is set, they will be able to jump, however.</p> <p>Giving the front texture of the linedef an X offset will make the effect last that amount of time, in tics.

It doesn't matter whether you have a liquid shield, fire shield, attraction shield, or whatever else; step on one of these and suffer.</p> <h3><a name="s2"></a>2 - Damage (Water)</h3> <p>Also known as Slime Hurt. Stepping here will be painful, as in shield/ring/life loss (depending on how you are equipped), unless you happen to have the liquid shield.</p> <h3><a name="s3"></a>3 - Damage (Fire)</h3> <p>Stepping here will hurt, unless you happen to have a fire shield.</p> <h3><a name="s4"></a>4 - Damage (Electrical)</h3> <p>Hurts players whenever they're in the sector, unless they have the attraction shield.</p> <p>Usage tip: Give the sector a floor flat that looks electrical and looks like it could hurt you. </p> <h3><a name="s5"></a>5 - Spikes</h3> <p>Making spikes using sectors is rather tedious and difficult.

But the sector version DOES look cooler. ;)</p> <h3><a name="s6"></a>6 - Death Pit (Camera Modifications)</h3> <p>Used for bottomless pits. You'll probably want the sector's floor flat to be either F_SKY1 (falling from the sky) or PIT (falling into a pit of complete blackness). The camera modifications keep the camera from following you all the way down, for a Sonic Adventure-style pit death. If you don't like the camera modifications, use sector type <a href="#s7">5</a>.</p> <h3><a name="s7"></a>7 - Death Pit (No Camera Modifications)</h3> <p>For bottomless pits. Use if the camera modifications of sector type <a href="#s6">6</a> are not to your taste.</p> <h3><a name="s8"></a>8 - Instant Kill</h3> <p>Die right away if you even step into this sector. No need to touch the floor as with those sissy death pits.</p> <h3><a name="s9"></a>9 - Ring Drainer (Floor Touch)</h3> <p>Lose one ring per 15 tics while touching the floor.</p> <h3><a name="s10"></a>10 - Ring Drainer (No Floor Touch)</h3> <p>Like sector type <a href="#s9">9</a>, but doesn't require touching floor.</p> <h3><a name="s11"></a>11 - Special Stage Damage</h3> <p>If you have rings and no shield, and you step on it, you only lose 10 rings, maximum. It's just like the special stages!</p> <h3><a name="s12"></a>12 - Space Countdown</h3> <p>In space, you have no chance to survive make your time, ha ha ha. Starts an immediate five-second countdown, like when you drown.</p> <h3><a name="s13"></a>13 - Ramp Sector</h3> <p>Doubles the step-up height of the player. Default step-up height is 24 fracunits, but with this, it becomes 48. Useful for steps and other things if your players seem to be getting 'stopped' by the stairs while moving quickly.</p> <h3><a name="s14"></a>14 - Non-Ramp Sector (Don't step down)</h3> <p>Removes the 'step-down' that a player will normally do when moving to a nearby sector.</p> <h3><a name="s15"></a>15 - Bouncy Sector (FOF Control Only)</h3> <p>Use this on a 3D floor's control sector to make it bouncy. Players will bounce off the top of it. If the 3D floor's control line has the BOUNCY flag set, the linedef length sets the minimum bounce force.
