Linedef Executors?

They're basically like sophisticated buttons. When the player steps in a trigger sector (marked by the appropriate sector type), it looks for a tagged linedef for the trigger. Call the sector that linedef's front belongs to the "command sector." SRB2 then goes around the command sector and "executes" all the linedef commands (100-104 as listed in my effects guide).

The guide is awaiting an update, because linedef executors can do a lot more now than what is listed.
 
Best thing is to just pop open p_spec.c in the source and go to P_ProcessLineSpecial and look at the options.
 
*sigh*... When will you people learn that there are those of us out there who can't read c? Oh well, i'll experement a little... Thanks anyway.
 
I think

case 101: // Set tagged sector's floor height/pic Graue 11-04-2003


is hardly unreadable.
 
"case 105: // Change music Graue 11-16-2003"

That means it stops the music? Change means stop? Wow, you're right, you can't read C. Or maybe you just can't read period.

The stuff after // up to the end of line is comments, meant for human reading, so you should try to focus on those.

107 moves a ceiling, but I don't know what gave you the idea that it moves an invisible ceiling. 106/107 work like 101/102, except that they're not instantaneous (the length of the linedef with that special # indicates speed) and they don't change the floor/ceiling flat when they finish.
 
Well, I couldn't open the source, so I tried to experement with different linedef executors. About move invisible celling, I set my celling texture to F_SKY1. That would do it. About stop music, I thought that it would change the music, so I set the linedef leingth to certain leingths like 3 and 42, but that dosen't work either. Hmmmm.

Please don't make fun of me. I can read a little bit of C, I just can't write it. :cry:

EDIT: Sorry, I found the source. Nevermind.
 
Well, I hadn't actually gotten around to testing Change Music yet, so I guess it's possible that it doesn't work yet. In fact... heh, nope, it doesn't work, and I see exactly why. It'll be fixed for the next demo.
 
You have to do that with all the linedef executors, actually. I guess that should be changed.
 
Yeah, can someone show me how to use it? I set the leingth of it to something that represents music, but it still stops the music! help!

If you really want to know, it's because I didn't convert the calculated linedef length into fracunits, so it was 65536 times as great as it should've been. Since there are not 65536 music slots, and linedefs of length 0 are not valid, the music slot was invalid no matter what.

Please don't ask me to clarify this explanation or expand on it in any way, as I will then harbour a resentment towards you for the remainder of time and never again answer questions of such a nature.
