Floor-over-floor-over-floor

[Naga]

when trying to make a floor-over-floor-over-floor, it makes the original FOF have a gap the same size of the new FOF, and theres another problem i have, when i try to make FOFs over water then the game assumes that the FOF is also another normal sector and makes the FOF have a normal sector underneath it, with seethrough walls.

 

[Shadow Hog]

So, do both FOFs in the sectors share the same tag?

I mean, I remember when I first started out, I had no idea how to get a FOF over another FOF. Then it turned out that all I needed was to give both FOFs the same tag, and then they'd BOTH be in the sector. Now, this may not be what your problem is, but it sounds similar...

Well to make sure the water works under the FOF, you have to tag the water to that FOF sector, too.. Not sure if that's what you mean or not. o.o

 

[Naga]

So, do both FOFs in the sectors share the same tag?

nope,both with different tags, but, if i put them on the same tag, won't they be the same height?

EDIT: one question, how do you place things on FOFS?

Yes.

The easiest way to do this is ignore the fact that there's another FOF there and treat your control sector as a single FOF and then screw around with it's heights.

 

[Naga]

so, i just put the control sector above the fof?

 

[Shuffle]

Eh? o.o
You put the FOF over the other FOF >_>

 

[Naga]

ooooohhh...

EDIT: Fudge. Shuffle beat me to the punch.

 

[Naga]

now i get it

 

[Eryn]

Good.

A Tip when making an FOFOF that extends outside of the other FOF: Don't cross linedefs. x_x Make seperate sectors for the botton FOF, the top FOF and the area both FOFs cross over.

 

[fox.dx2]

nice! :D

 

[Naga]

yay! now i can make a level that i planned for a mod!

 

[fox.dx2]

the only thing tricky with this is the fof heights.

 

[Naga]

i've thought of that problem, and i think i've found a way to fix it, but i don't know if it works though, i'm gonna try it sooner or later.

How do you place THINGS on a FOF?

 

[Some guy2]

(Relative height)*16(32 in some cases)+(required flag no.). Put that into the flag box in DB.

 

[Naga]

what is the required flag number for rings and random monitors?
And where do i put the height in doombuilder?

 

[shadowstar]

Just use objectplace mode. It's a lot easier.
