Hi,
I have a huge problem, I'm making a level and after creating the barrier thok I added other external sectors, I disassembled the thok barrier to let entering the other two major sectors but the sectors are now open and redesigning them they remain open.

Why should you destroy the barrier thok ? Do not destroy it. And I do not see how the barrier prevents from "passing" the external sectors.

You could've also made the sector's linedefs double-sided, but that works better :-)

Okay, here's a tip that could save your life on this matter. NEVER delete part of a sector while leaving the rest of it intact. Ever. If you ever delete, you need to delete the whole sector (with some extremely rare exceptions, but don't think about that). That's not how you split or merge a sector. Here are the proper methods:

unless you know what you're doing. I frequently manipulate linedef sector references to do certain non-trivial tasks much faster.

Well, yes, and I also perform some physical deletions under very special circumstances. But he seems to be a beginner, so I didn't want to muddle him up with more advanced things. Better that he learn to be careful first and then try that stuff once he has some experience.
