HELP! Ice and sludge sectors

[Blue Blur]

How do you make icy sectors work? I've tried a lot of stuff, but it never seems to work right.

You do exactly what the guide says: give the sector a type of Ice/Sludge, tag it to a friction linedef. There's no trick to it, so if you've done that, I can't imagine what could be going wrong.

One thing:

Control linedef leingths less than 100 make friction when you touch the floor, and >100 make ice. Make 'em really greater or less than 100, or you won't get much of a result.
Ex.
1: Very sticky friction
1000: Spippery ice

Unless the ice is an FOF. In that situation, you need to give the Ice/Sludge sector type to the FOF control sector.

1000 is way too slippery. I usually use 192 for ice.

Sludge slows you down a lot when you accelerate. At friction of 1, it would be very difficult to move without jumping.

I used 192 for ice as well in Midnight Freeze.

I'm just telling him that so he would notice a difference.

192 is painfully obvious ^_~

 

[hotdog003]

Yes, but 1000 can be dreadfully funny, especially in netgame ice skating contests.

sorry, I was gone for a while, but the FOF was what was going wrong, I had a control sector and tagged sector.
